Study examines risk factors for cancer in unaffected breast of breast cancer patients
A new study identifies certain patient and tumor characteristics that may help indicate which breast cancer patients would be the most likely to benefit from preventive surgery to remove the unaffected breast. view more (2009-01-26)
No need for gene screens in breast cancer families
Research reported today should provide relief to women who are worried after a relative's breast cancer diagnosis. The study in the open access journal BMC Cancer shows that a family history of breast cancer does not give a useful indication of the likelihood that a woman will develop it herself at an early age. view more (2008-07-23)
PSA velocity's clinical usefulness remains unclear
Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be valuable as a prostate cancer screening tool. view more (2007-10-10)
Experiments could lead to new treatments for neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is one of the most devastating diagnoses a child can receive. The cancer's victims average 2 years old when the disease is detected, most often by a parent feeling a lump in a child's abdomen. By then, the disease has often reached an advanced stage, and advanced neuroblastoma kills more than 50 percent of the children in whom it... view more... (2008-08-18)

New biomarkers for lung cancer
Rubén P'o, researcher at the University of Navarre, has carried out a study of biomarkers for detecting lung cancer. In recognition of this work, he has been awarded the 2004-06 prize for applied lung cancer research by the American Association for Cancer Research and the Foundation for Research into and Prevention of Cancer. Of the thirty... view more... (2004-06-08)
Canadian breast cancer guidelines do not meet their objective
The Canadian Practice Guidelines for the Care and Treatment of Breast Cancer, first published in 1998, were developed to reduce variation in the way that breast cancer was being treated. view more (2007-03-13)
Scientists are developing markers capable of spotting minute numbers of cancer cells in blood
Scientists have identified three molecular markers which, when used together, are capable of detecting minute amounts of metastatic cancer cells in the blood of patients. Although this research is in its early days, they hope it will lead to the development of a simple and easy test to spot cancer cells that are spreading from the original tumour.... view more...

Rare head and neck cancer linked to HPV, study finds
An increase in cases of a rare type of head and neck cancer appears to be linked to HPV, or human papillomavirus, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2009-10-08)
What are the risk factors of sporadic colorectal cancer?
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in China. view more (2009-06-12)
Review examines breast cancer prevention strategies in the United States
A new review outlines potential pharmaceutical, dietary, surgical, and other approaches to reducing the risk of breast cancer among women in the United States, and examines the evidence for specific recommendations. view more (2008-11-05)
NHS breast screening targets need to be reviewed
Women who attend the NHS breast screening programme have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who decline to participate, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This "self selection" for screening has important implications for NHS breast cancer detection targets. Researchers at the University of Manchester investigated over 40,000 women... view more...

Pregancies ending in abortion do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer (p 1007)
Results of a major international collaboration investigating the relationship between abortion and breast cancer are published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Authors of the study conclude that the totality of the worldwide evidence does not suggest any increase in the risk of developing breast cancer for women who have had a pregnancy that... view more...

Statins have neutral effect on risk of cancer
The cholesterol-lowering medications called statins do not appear to reduce the incidence of cancer or cancer deaths. view more (2006-01-04)
American Cancer Society study finds high use of complementary methods among cancer survivors
A new study from researchers at the American Cancer Society finds many cancer patients use complementary and alternative methods, most often prayer, relaxation, supplements, meditation, and massage. view more (2008-08-04)
Cost-effective strategy to screen second primary colorectal cancers in cancer survivors
To suggest a feasible economic strategy for second primary colorectal cancer screening of cancer survivors in Korea, A research group constructed a decision-analytic model, compared cost-effectiveness results of cancer screening in male cancer survivors. view more (2009-07-16)
Selenium may prevent high risk-bladder cancer
A study published in the December issue of Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, suggests that selenium, a trace mineral found in grains, nuts and meats, may aid in the prevention of high-risk bladder cancer. view more (2008-12-08)
Jefferson scientists show gene reverts cancer genes to normal, predicts breast cancer prognosis
Scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have shown that the activity of a gene that commandeers other cancer-causing genes, returning them to normal, can predict the prognosis of an individual with breast cancer. view more (2006-11-01)
Gene linked to lower breast cancer risk
Dr. Uwe Langsenlehner and colleagues from Medical University Graz in Austria showed that a specific genetic variation in a cytokine gene is associated with lower breast cancer risk. view more (2005-06-06)
Parents need help to talk to their children about cancer
Cancer is relatively common among women of childbearing age. Although the importance of communication with patients and their families has been recognised, relatively little has been published about communication with children when their parent is newly diagnosed as having cancer. view more (2006-04-14)
