Larynx preservation preferred over total laryngectomy
Patients with locally advanced laryngopharyngeal cancers who receive radical chemoradiation have significantly better voice outcomes during the 12 months following treatment when compared with patients who have undergone a total laryngectomy and surgical voice restoration. view more (2008-02-04)
Musculo-skeletal injuries common among musicians
Occupationally related pain in joints and muscles are very common among music teachers and musicians, above all among those who play the violin. It is important to learn an ergonomically correct style of playing from the beginning, according to physical therapist Anncristine Fjellman-Wiklund in a dissertation she is submitting at Ume'å... view more...

Oestrogen may be associated with virus (HPV) infection implicated in cervical cancer
The female hormone oestrogen may have a role in HPV viral infection, strains of which are implicated in cervical cancer, shows research in Sexually Transmitted Infections. view more (2002-06-17)
UM researchers find new marker to identify cancer stem cells
Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found a marker that can be used to identify stem cells in breast tumors, suggesting a potential simple test that could help determine the best treatment for breast cancer. view more (2007-12-04)
Blood vessels: The pied piper for growing nerve cells
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered that blood vessels in the head can guide growing facial nerve cells with blood pressure controlling proteins. The findings, which suggest that blood vessels throughout the body might have the same power of persuasion over many nerves, are published this week in Nature. view more (2008-04-11)
PET accurately identifies esophageal cancer patients' positive responses to chemotherapy
Early metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) accurately identifies patients responding to chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, noted German researchers at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. view more (2007-06-04)
Novel therapy may prove effective in treatment of 30 percent of cancers
A ground-breaking Canada-wide clinical trial led by Dr. Katherine Borden, at the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) of the Université de Montréal, has shown that a common anti-viral drug, ribavirin, can be beneficial in the treatment of cancer patients. view more (2009-05-14)
Different type of colon cancer vaccine reduces disease spread, Jefferson scientists show
Taking advantage of the fact that the intestines have a separate immune system from the rest of the body, scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have found a way to immunize mice against the development of metastatic disease. view more (2008-06-25)
U-M researchers identify stem cells in pancreatic cancer
University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have discovered the small number of cells in pancreatic cancer that are capable of fueling the tumor's growth. The finding is the first identification of cancer stem cells in pancreatic tumors. view more (2007-02-01)
Study finds multiple markers for breast and ovarian cancer
Scientists from the Uppsala Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) have made a promising discovery that could improve the early diagnosis of breast and ovarian cancers through a simple blood test. view more (2005-08-01)
Exercise science principles strengthen swallowing rehabilitation
Just thinking about swallowing makes it harder to do. Head and neck cancer, a stroke, brain tumor, brain injury or even a tracheostomy tube and mechanical ventilation needed to sustain life can make it impossible. view more (2007-05-01)
Misconceptions about headlice: what does the research really show?
A review article in this week’s BMJ dispels some of the myths about treating head lice, using the most up-to-date medical research. For example, it shows that: view more (2003-06-04)
The Lancet Oncology (TLO) For immediate release
IS PREVENTION REALLY BETTER THAN CURE? Billions of dollars are currently being spent on the search for effective drugs that will stop disease before it happens. Advances in genetic testing are providing more opportunities to find out which diseases people are likely to be at risk of developing-but this knowledge has put huge pressure on the... view more...

US researchers show cottonseed drug is cancer treatment booster - patient trials now planned
New research has opened up the prospect that gossypol - a drug refined from cottonseed oil and previously tried and abandoned as a male contraceptive - could boost the effectiveness of treatment for prostate tumours and possibly other common cancers as well. view more (2004-09-29)
Adding cetuximab to chemotherapy reduces advanced lung cancer death risk by 13 percent
Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are given cetuximab (Erbitux) in addition to chemotherapy are 13% less likely to die than those who receive chemotherapy alone, regardless of which chemotherapy drug cocktail is used, new research finds. They also experience slower disease progression and an increased chance of tumour shrinkage. view more (2009-09-22)
New type of flying reptile discovered
An international group of researchers from the University of Leicester (UK), and the Geological Institute, Beijing (China) have identified a new type of flying reptile - providing the first clear evidence of an unusual and controversial type of evolution. view more (2009-10-14)
The National Radiological Protection Board advises holiday makers against overexposure to high sunlight
The incidence of skin cancer in the UK has significantly increased in recent years. There are now over 40,000 new cases and nearly 2,000 deaths from skin cancer in the UK each year. Much of this increase has been attributed to overexposure to sunlight not only when abroad but also sunbathing at home. In one recent study in Scotland, a third of... view more... (2003-05-27)
Scientists Probe Genetics Of Brain Vulnerability
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are investigating why people with a specific genetic makeup are more likely to develop brain disease and less likely to make a good recovery from head injury. The study has important implications for those with the particular brain protein who choose to take part in potentially dangerous contact sports... view more... (2003-01-10)
Reactive Oxygen's Role in Metastasis
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have discovered that reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, play a key role in forming invadopodia, cellular protrusions implicated in cancer cell migration and tumor metastasis. view more (2009-09-16)
Intravenous nanoparticle gene therapy shows activity in stage IV lung cancer
A cancer-suppressing gene has been successfully delivered into the tumors of stage 4 lung cancer patients via an intravenously administered lipid nanoparticle in a phase I clinical trial at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2007-04-18)
