Systemic treatment before surgery for kidney cancer prolongs patients' survival
Preliminary results from a phase II clinical trial have provided the first evidence that treating people with kidney cancer with bevacizumab and erlotinib before surgery is safe, effective and may prolong patients' survival. view more (2006-11-09)
Modeling head and neck cancers
In a report to be published in the May 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Xiao-Jing Wang and colleagues at Oregon Health & Science University present a novel model of head and neck cancer, which is expected to become an invaluable tool in the evaluation of biomarkers and therapies to treat this devastating disease. view more (2006-05-15)
Study details hepatitis C ability to block immune system response
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a worldwide public health problem. The World Health Organization estimates that 170 million people worldwide are chronically infected and that between 3-4 million are newly infected annually. view more (2006-05-19)
Speeding discovery of the 'human cancer genome'
Two gene discoveries announced in separate reports in the June 30, 2006 issue of Cell highlight one way to speed through the human genome in search of those genes most important for spawning cancer. view more (2006-06-29)
New Jefferson Trial to Test Radiation-Emitting Beads Against Advanced Liver Cancer
Liver cancer specialists at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia are beginning an 18-month study of a new treatment for liver cancer. The therapy entails injecting tiny beads that emit small amounts of radiation into the liver's main artery while also blocking the blood supply feeding the cancer's growth. view more (2008-02-13)
Interleukin-8, key marker for colorectal cancer treatment
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently one of the three most frequent malignancies in Western industrial nations. view more (2007-10-10)
New test improves detection of liver cancer
Cancer of the liver is very difficult to detect, and it is a major cause of death in Asia and Africa, with rising incidence in Western countries as well. view more (2007-08-09)
Robotic assisted kidney cancer surgery proves to be beneficial to patients
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers find that outcomes of robotic assisted kidney cancer surgery, when performed by experienced surgeons at high volume centers, prove more beneficial to patients when compared to open surgery. view more (2009-04-27)
Targeting Tumor Behavior May Lead To New Liver Cancer Drugs
Ohio State University cancer researchers have used computational and genomic methods to identify possible anti-cancer agents that may block a particular kind of tumor behavior. view more (2009-06-19)
EU Funding Helps Fight Liver Cancer
The fight against liver cancer, one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide, is being helped by 2.5 million euros from the EU's Framework Programme. view more (2005-02-22)
Mayo researchers discover immune system blocker at work in kidney cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a new and deadly player in the most common form of kidney cancer. They've shown that the molecule B7-H4 helps renal cell carcinoma (RCC) grow and spread by blocking the immune system. view more (2006-06-30)
U of T researchers reveal Epstein-Barr virus protein contributes to cancer
Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that the EBNA1 protein of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) disrupts structures in the nucleus of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, thereby interfering with cellular processes that normally prevent cancer development. view more (2008-10-07)
Cycles of cell death, proliferation key to liver cancer
Research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine shows that liver cancer is likely caused by cycles of liver cell death and renewal. view more (2006-06-23)
Fatty fish consumption associated with lower risk of kidney cancer in women
Preliminary research suggests that higher consumption of fatty fish in women is linked with a lower risk of renal cell carcinoma, a common form of kidney cancer. view more (2006-09-20)
New clues for treatment of liver cancer
By generating tumors in laboratory mice that mimic human liver cancer and by comparing the DNA of mouse and human tumors, researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified two genes that are likely to play a role in the third leading cause of human cancer deaths. view more (2006-06-29)
To protect against liver disease, body puts cells 'under arrest'
A stable form of cell-cycle arrest known to offer potent protection against cancer also limits liver fibrosis, a condition characterized by an excess of fibrous tissue, according to a new report in the August 22nd Cell, a Cell Press publication. view more (2008-08-22)
Gender linked to development of skin cancer
Inherent gender differences - instead of more sun exposure - may be one reason why men are three times more likely than women to develop certain kinds of skin cancer, say researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center. view more (2007-04-02)
Study indicates cancer preventive effect for statins
The commonly used prescription statin drugs may have a protective effect in the prevention of liver cancer and lead to a reduction in the need for gallbladder removals, according to two studies published in Gastroenterologyiption statin drugs may have a protective effect in the prevention of liver cancer and lead to a reduction in the need for... view more...

Researchers map infectious hepatitis B virus
Using electron cryomicroscopy and computer image analysis, the scientists visualized two intermediate forms of the virus that exist within infected cells. In addition, they were able to determine a three-dimensional map by analysis of infectious hepatitis B virus isolated from patient blood samples. view more (2006-06-26)
Gene variation may elevate risk of liver tumor in patients with cirrhosis
A particular gene variation appears to significantly increase the risk that individuals with cirrhosis of the liver will go on to develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a liver tumor that is the third leading cause of cancer death. view more (2008-01-02)
