AUA releases new guidelines on non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
The AUA is pleased to announce their new Guideline on the Management of Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer. Each year, more than 60,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer, which has been linked to a number of risk factors, including cigarette smoking and exposure to hazardous chemicals. view more (2007-11-12)

Rare immune cell is key to transplant's cancer-killing effect
Researchers at the University of Michigan's Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered the secret weapon behind the most powerful form of cancer immunotherapy known to medicine. view more (2005-10-17)
Common molecule notifies immune system of prostate cancer
In experiments with mice, researchers have found that the body's immune system can use a surprisingly common molecule to recognize prostate tumors. The molecule comes from a protein found in all cells of the body; however, immune cells appear to respond to it only when it is present on the surface of cells within a tumor. view more (2008-01-11)
T cells activated to fight HIV basis for dendritic cell therapeutic vaccine

Evidence for warts treatments is weak
Apart from topical treatments containing salicylic acid, there is currently no clear evidence that any other treatments for warts are more effective, say researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-08-28)
Rac 1 and 2, two proteins essential to triggering of the immune response
The dendritic cells act as the body's sentries, standing guard around the clock. As soon as they detect a potential enemy, they alert the T cells, whose role is to defend the body. At the Institut Curie, CNRS researchers in an Inserm laboratory have filmed the encounter of dendritic cells and T cells. They have shown that this "rendez-vous",... view more... (2004-08-23)
Researchers use 'trickery' to create immune response against melanoma
A new type of immunotherapy in which dendritic cells are tricked into action against cancer when they are exposed to harmless pieces of viruses and bacteria is described in the November issue of Cancer Research. view more (2005-11-02)
Genetic Variants Predict Recurrence of Bladder Cancer, Patient Survival
Scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have discovered genetic variations in the inflammation pathway that reduce the likelihood of recurrence and increase survival of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are treated with mainstream therapy. view more (2009-04-21)
St. Jude finds molecule that could improve cancer vaccines and therapy for other diseases
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered a new signaling molecule that prevents immune responses from running amok and damaging the body. view more (2007-11-26)
Alzheimer's lesions found in the retina
The eyes may be the windows to the soul, but new research indicates they also may mirror a brain ravaged by Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-10-22)
Reagent under study as cancer vaccine may also help protect tumors
A bacterial mimic under study as a cancer vaccine because it signals the immune system to attack may also help some tumors hide, researchers have found. view more (2005-11-01)
Tumor wizardry wards off attacks from the immune system
Like the fictional wizard Harry Potter, some cancerous tumors seem capable of wrapping themselves in an invisibility cloak. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that pancreatic tumors hide from the body's immune surveillance by surrounding themselves with cells that make it hard for the immune system to... view more...

Researchers testing virus-gene therapy combination against melanoma
Researchers at the Moores UCSD Cancer Center are injecting a modified herpes virus into melanoma tumors, hoping to kill the cancer cells while also bolstering the body's immune defenses against the disease. view more (2009-07-02)
The latest research on allergies: Specific immunotherapy can help
he German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care has assessed recent evidence on allergies. It found that the once controversial immune therapy against allergy symptoms can definitely help many people with allergies. view more (2008-06-12)

New 'OPAL Therapy' presents simple, cost-effective method of treating HIV infection
Australian researchers have unveiled a new immunotherapy technique to help prevent the progression from HIV infection to AIDS. Details of the simple, cost-effective technique are published May 2nd in the open-access journal PLoS Pathogens. view more (2008-05-05)
Yale scientists create artificial 'cells' that boost the immune response to cancer
Using artificial cell-like particles, Yale biomedical engineers have devised a rapid and efficient way to produce a 45-fold enhancement of T cell activation and expansion, an immune response important for a patient's ability to fight cancer and infectious diseases, according to an advance on line report in Molecular Therapy. view more (2008-02-27)
New hope for stroke patients
If a stroke patient doesn't get treatment within approximately the first three hours of symptoms, there's not much doctors can do to limit damage to the brain. view more (2008-08-26)
