Prophylactic cranial irradiation in small cell lung cancer significantly increases survival
Prophylactic cranial irradiation after chemotherapy significantly reduces the risk of brain metastasis and doubles one-year survival in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). view more (2007-08-17)
New treatment hope for prostate cancer
Scientists at Melbourne's Burnet Institute have developed a potential new treatment for patients with prostate cancer. An article, which described the invention, has recently been published in the prestigious international journal The Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2009-02-06)
Feelings of hopelessness linked to stroke risk in healthy women

UF scientists discover new explanation for controversial old patient-care technique
You might not know what it's called, but if you've had general anesthesia before surgery, especially after an accident, it is likely you have received Sellick's maneuver. view more (2009-10-21)
Geisinger study: Inflammatory disease causes blindness
People suffering from a type of connective tissue disease characterized by inflammation of arteries in the head are three times more likely to experience blindness, new Geisinger research shows. view more (2008-06-17)
Stanford scientists identify protein involved in fast-spreading cancers
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found a protein that may explain why tumors in a low-oxygen environment are more deadly. view more (2006-04-27)
Taste, odor intervention improves cancer therapy, according to Virginia Tech, Wake Forest study
Cancer and its therapies, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, may directly alter and damage taste and odor perception, possibly leading to patient malnutrition, and in severe cases, significant morbidity, according to a Virginia Tech - Wake Forest University Comprehensive Cancer Center compilation of various existing studies. Their review... view more... (2009-04-01)
Bid to boost uptake of bowel cancer screening amongst Scots men
Academics are to look at ways to encourage Scots to take part in a new national screening programme for bowel cancer, a leading cause of cancer deaths in Western nations. view more (2005-11-01)
Radiofrequency energy technique as effective as tonsillectomy surgery
Radiofrequncy-tonsillotomy, which enables surgeons to reduce the size of the tonsillar tissue instead of removing the tonsils entirely, seems to be an effective and safe method of treating children with symptoms of enlarged tonsils. view more (2009-10-05)
Lack of time on tummy shown to hinder achievement
The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is urging parents and caregivers to ensure that babies get enough "tummy time" throughout the day while they are awake and supervised, in light of a recent survey of therapists who say they've noticed an increase in motor delays in infants who spend too much time on their backs while awake. view more (2008-08-07)
Lung cancer suppresses miR-200 to invade and spread
Primary lung cancer shifts to metastatic disease by suppressing a family of small molecules that normally locks the tumor in a noninvasive state, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the Sept. 15 edition of Genes and Development. view more (2009-09-15)
Scientists puzzled by severe allergic reaction to cancer drug in the middle Southern US
A patient's expectations about the side effects of chemotherapy usually focus on nausea, hair loss, fatigue and other side effects. Worries about severe allergic reactions to their therapy is usually not a concern. view more (2007-08-21)
Benefits from upper airway surgery for sleep apnea found to equal CPAP
Adults who struggle with CPAP treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) should be considered candidates for reconstructive surgery on the upper airway, because it holds the same quality-of-life (QOL) benefits but with more permanence. view more (2009-08-03)

Rapid growth of cancer cells and their frequent divisions have their price: Cancer cells need considerably more energy than healthy cells. view more (2009-03-11)
Website supports teenagers whose parents have cancer
Researchers at the University of Sheffield's Academic Palliative Medicine Unit have developed the first UK website to offer advice and support to children who have a parent with cancer. Riprap is an interactive site aimed at 12-16 year olds who are facing one of the toughest times of their lives. The site will be launched at 2pm on 29 May at the... view more... (2003-05-28)
Forearm supports reduce upper body pain linked to computer use
Providing forearm support is an effective intervention to prevent musculoskeletal disorders of the upper body and aids in reducing upper body pain associated with computer work. view more (2006-04-19)
Skin cells may provide early warning for cancer risk elsewhere in body
While some scientists have argued that cancer is such a complex genetic disease that you'd have to sequence a person's complete genome in order to predict his or her cancer risk, a University of California, Berkeley, cell biologist suggests that the risk may be more simply determined by inexpensively culturing a few skin cells. view more (2009-10-16)
CT Scans Increase Cancer Risk Estimates in Multiply-Imaged Emergency Department Patients
Physicians should review a patient's CT imaging history and cumulative radiation dose when considering whether to perform another CT exam. view more (2009-05-06)
Geriatric patients receive significant benefit from cochlear implantation
Despite previous inconclusive research, geriatric patients do experience significant quality of life improvement (QOL) after receiving cochlear implants for hearing loss, says new research presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO in Chicago, IL. view more (2008-09-22)
OHSU researchers: Surgery, radiation gives early survival advantage in bile duct cancer
Oregon Health & Science University researchers are reporting the discovery of an early survival advantage when a combination of surgery and radiation therapy is used for patients with a rare but deadly bile duct cancer. view more (2007-10-29)
