Breast cancer information network
Mammary carcinoma is a direct and brutal affront to the feminine identity - especially when the diagnosis is made in the later stages of development, which can require a mastectomy. "We estimate that one in ten women in Germany will be confronted with this disease," says Dr. Dieter Alt, who directs a nationwide education campaign to... view more... (2002-11-27)
CSHL scientists trace causal link between a tumor suppressor gene and liver cancer
Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have taken the search for cancer-causing genes an important step forward. In a newly published paper, they confirm that a gene called DLC1 is a tumor suppressor. They have demonstrated in living mice that its deletion, inactivation or loss precipitates events culminating in an aggressive type of... view more... (2008-06-04)
Promising novel treatment for human cancer -- Chrysanthemum indicum extract
A series of studies have demonstrated that Chrysanthemum indicum possesses antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective effects. view more (2009-10-16)
Recurrent low-grade carcinoma of the ovary less responsive to chemo than more common ovarian cancers
Recurrent low-grade serous carcinoma, a rare type of ovarian cancer, is less sensitive to chemotherapy and therefore more difficult to treat than more common high-grade ovarian cancers, according to researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2008-03-11)
Melanoma risk only partially associated vith exposure to UVB from sunlight
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that the risk of developing melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, is only partially associated with exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, the rays in sunlight that increase in summer and cause sunburn. view more (2005-12-21)
Proton beam therapy may improve treatment of rare but aggressive tumor
Proton beam radiation therapy, a very precise type of radiation treatment, may be an effective treatment for advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma that has spread to the cranial base, according to a study from the Francis H. Burr Proton Therapy Center at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). view more (2006-11-21)
Pitt research indicates new virus is culprit, not bystander, in deadly skin cancer
University of Pittsburgh scientists are uncovering more evidence that a virus they recently discovered is the cause of Merkel cell carcinoma, an aggressive and deadly form of skin cancer. view more (2008-09-23)
PET imaging identifies aggressive kidney cancers that require surgery
The ability to identify an individual's specific tumor type prior to surgery could have important implications for the management of patients diagnosed with kidney cancer. view more (2007-03-07)
Synergistic growth inhibitory effect of herbal extracts against HCC and lung cancer cells
Several herbs with diversified pharmacological properties are known to be rich sources of chemical constituents that may have potential for the treatment of several human cancers. Data from the Department of Preclinical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Thammasat University, demonstrates that the growth inhibitory activity of doxorubicin or cisplatin,... view more... (2008-04-30)
What is the role of reactive oxygen species in ethanol-mediated cell death of polarized hepatic cells?
Liver disease that results as a consequence of alcohol abuse is a major medical problem worldwide. Ethanol consumption leads to a variety of liver alterations including the accumulation of fat, inflammation of the liver, as well as the presence of scar tissue. view more (2009-06-15)
Molecular imaging holds promise for early intervention in common uterine cancer
A promising new molecular imaging technique may provide physicians and patients with a noninvasive way to learn more information about a type of cancer of the uterus lining called "endometrial carcinoma"-one of the most common malignant female tumors. view more (2009-10-01)
Scripps research scientists show protein accelerates breast cancer progression in animal models
These new findings could lead to a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of breast cancer and focus attention on PTN and its signaling pathway as possible targets for new cancer therapies. view more (2007-06-21)
Bariatric surgery may resolve liver disease
Obesity is a growing epidemic in the U.S. with a significant increase in prevalence from 15 percent to 32.9 percent from 1980 to 2004. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an emerging problem related to the obesity epidemic, becoming one of the most common causes of liver disease in the nation. view more (2008-12-01)
Possible cause and potential treatment found for aggressive head and neck cancer
Researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center report that they have found a potential molecular cause for the aggressive growth and spread of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, a highly malignant form of cancer with a very high death rate. view more (2006-04-24)

CLEAR SKIES NOT SO CLEAN This months Leading Edge editorial examines the recently published US Environmental Protection Agency`s (EPA) 10-year in-the-making report on the toxic effects of diesel exhaust fumes from large vehicles. The report-which showed that large cities are heavily polluted with emissions that are associated with increased risk... view more... (2002-10-02)
Older Australians at risk of sun-related skin cancer death
A new Western Australian study has revealed the mortality from non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), commonly considered less dangerous than melanoma, is affecting older Australians at a worrying rate. view more (2008-04-14)
Yale procedure cuts recurrence of aggressive uterine cancer
A state-of-the-art treatment program developed at Yale School of Medicine increases survival from the aggressive uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) and spares some patients the need for additional therapy. view more (2005-09-22)
Extra copies of EGFR gene signal poor prognosis for vulvar cancer
A genetic fingerprint identified in patients with a gynecologic cancer may reveal candidates for targeted therapy. view more (2008-10-01)
Anti-HBe may play a role in the progression of the disease of hepatitis B
Genotype D is found to be the only detected type in different clinical forms of HBV infections, including cirrhosis, among residents of southwestern Iran. A significant association between the presence of anti-HBe antibody and increasing ALT levels among either HBeAg-negative or HBeAg-positive individuals was also determined. view more (2008-04-30)
Skin Lesion Leads To More Cancer Types Than Once Believed
Dermatologist Martin Weinstock has found that sun-damaged rough patches on the skin known as actinic keratoses lead to more forms of skin cancer than previously thought. view more (2009-06-03)
