Scientific evidence of the significant anti-cancer effect of milk thistle
Recently, scientists demonstrated the anti-cancer effects of silibinin, a major biologically active compound of milk thistle. Being widely used as a folk remedy for liver diseases, milk thistle is safe and well-tolerated, and it protects the liver from drug or alcohol-related injury. view more (2007-11-15)
Doubling of deaths from liver cancer in 30 years
Deaths from liver cancer have almost doubled in the past 30 years, shows research in Gut. A relatively rare type of liver cancer arising from the bile ducts - intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma - accounts for virtually all of the increase. The research team analysed deaths coded by liver tumour between 1968 and 1998, using national statistics for... view more... (2001-05-16)
New study finds advanced liver cancer patients live longer by taking anti-cancer drug sorafenib
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York have found that sorafenib (Nexavar) helps patients with advanced liver cancer live about 44 percent longer compared with patients who did not receive the anti-cancer drug. view more (2008-07-24)
DKK-3 and WIF-1: Proteins related to liver cancer development?
Liver cancer is one of the most fatal human malignancies and the third most frequent cause of tumor-related death, about half a million people globally each year. view more (2009-06-15)
CHEMOEMBOLISATION OFFERS SURVIVAL BENEFIT FOR PEOPLE WITH LIVER CANCER (p 1734)
People with liver cancer that cannot be treated with surgical resection or transplantation could have an increased two-year survival if they are given chemoembolisation-a procedure in which blood supply to the tumour combined with the effect of chemotherapy inhibits cancer growth. There is no standard treatment for liver cancer when surgery,... view more... (2002-05-15)
In 'Spontaneous' Liver Cancer, Researcher Sees a Cure
Adding more good news to last week's announcement that Nexavar® (sorafenib) may be the first effective treatment for advanced liver cancer, researchers at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University have uncovered a new molecular mechanism that may "spontaneously" cause liver cancer. view more (2007-06-20)
Targeting nerve growth factor may cure liver cancer
Nerve growth factor (NGF), as the name says, is an essential peptide factor for the growth and differentiation of neuronal cells. Therefore we can imagine that this growth factor is important for the nervous system including brain. view more (2007-09-19)
Parasite growth hormone pushes human cells to liver cancer
Scientists have found that the human liver fluke (Opisthorchis viverrini) contributes to the development of bile duct (liver) cancer by secreting granulin, a growth hormone that is known to cause uncontrolled growth of cells. view more (2009-10-09)
Losing a bit of weight and doing some exercise slows progression of chronic liver disease
Losing weight and exercising regularly slows progression of chronic liver disease in those who are overweight, indicates a study in Gut. Being overweight is bad for the liver. And non-alcoholic fatty liver is increasingly being diagnosed in those who are overweight, diabetic, or who have insulin resistance syndrome, a precursor to diabetes.... view more... (2004-02-11)
Penn State College of Medicine research isolates liver cancer stem cells prior to tumor formation
Penn State College of Medicine researchers, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Southern California, have taken an important step in understanding the role of stem cells in development of liver cancer. view more (2009-09-18)
Skin rash in patients treated for liver cancer determines survival
In a study of a new chemotherapy drug for liver cancer, researchers found that the development of a skin rash correlated directly with the patient's response to treatment. view more (2006-06-05)
Researchers aim to cut future need for liver transplants
University of Edinburgh scientists have identified primitive liver cells —possibly dormant from the earliest developmental stage of a human being — which have the potential to mature into different cells types and help repair a failing liver. view more (2006-07-07)
Correlation between bile duct obstruction and ductal cancer found
When bile duct cancer cells were placed in the liver of animals with bile duct obstruction, they grew more rapidly than identical cells placed in animals without bile duct obstruction. view more (2007-04-30)
Cancer Research UK supports additional TroVax phase II trial in colorectal cancer
Oxford BioMedica announced today that Cancer Research UK (CRUK) has agreed to conduct and sponsor an open label Phase II trial with Oxford BioMedica's leading cancer immunotherapy product, TroVax®, in colorectal cancer patients who have liver metastases. The decision by CRUK follows extensive review of the successful Phase I/II data of TroVax... view more... (2003-08-28)
Cancer-fighting virus shows promise in early clinical trial
A virus that has been specifically designed by scientists to be safe to normal tissue but deadly to cancer is showing early promise in a preliminary study, researchers said today at the ESMO Conference Lugano (ECLU), Switzerland. view more (2007-07-09)
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)
Research offers hope of new treatments for liver damage 'plague'
Millions of patients suffering from liver damage (cirrhosis) and failure may benefit from research by the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh that could lead to new life-saving treatments. There is currently no cure for liver cirrhosis and a patient's only hope of survival is to receive a liver transplant. view more (2005-01-05)
New test detects cirrhosis of the liver in an early stage
Ghent researchers have developed a new and easy method of detecting cirrhosis of the liver. This major finding helps predict the evolution of chronic liver disease, allowing physicians to start proper treatment early on. Patients suffering from this serious, progressive disease in its cirrhosis stage have a high chance of developing liver cancer.... view more... (2004-03-08)
Targeting the protein AEG1 impairs human liver cancer growth in mice
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive form of liver cancer and one of the 5 most common cancers worldwide. Devanand Sarkar and colleagues, at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Richmond, have now identified a gene that is expressed at high levels in human HCC tumor samples and generates a protein important for HCC... view more...

New technique in treating patients with liver cancer proves effective
Use of multipolar radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases is effective and has a relatively low recurrence rate, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Charité, Campus Benjamin Franklin in Berlin, Germany. view more (2008-04-14)
