News from Cancer: Risk factors for deadly form of lymphoma
A new study indicates that the incidence of mantle cell lymphoma, an aggressive type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is on the rise, most frequently striking men, Caucasians and older individuals. view more (2008-07-07)
St. Jude settles century-old debate on origin of mammalian network of lymphatic vessels
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital settled a century-old debate on the origin of the mammalian lymphatic vasculature-the network of vessels and capillaries critical to various essential housekeeping functions in the body. The finding holds the promise for the development of new therapies for lymphatic system disorders, the... view more... (2007-10-04)
Basis created for directing and filming blood vessels
A new method of filming blood-vessel cells that move in accordance with targeted signals has been developed by researchers at Uppsala University in collaboration with researchers at the University of California. The method can also be used to study how migration of cancer cells and nerves can be controlled. view more (2008-03-27)
FLT PET Assesses Treatment Response on Tumor Growth—Not Size—With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Positron emission tomography (PET)—with the radiolabeled thymidine analog [18F]Fluorothymidine (FLT)—is "a promising, sensitive tool" for assessing drug effects on tumor growth in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. view more (2006-06-07)
Whites take supplemental breast cancer therapy more often than blacks
A new study finds that white women more frequently take more of the life-prolonging supplemental therapies used to treat breast cancer than African-American women. view more (2007-10-08)
Researchers create smaller, brighter probe tailored for molecular imaging and tumor targeting
Researchers have developed a new generation of microscopic particles for molecular imaging, constituting one of the first promising nanoparticle platforms that may be readily adapted for tumor targeting and treatment in the clinic. view more (2008-12-23)
New Test May Predict Breast Cancer Metastasis
Researchers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center have identified a new marker for breast cancer metastasis called TMEM, for Tumor Microenvironment of Metastasis. view more (2009-03-30)
Genome fully mapped for potential biological weapon
The bacterium that causes the severe disease known as rabbit fever, Fancisella tularensis, is a potential biological weapon of devastating force. Now scientists at Ume'å, in collaboration with several international associates, have mapped the entire genome of the bacterium. Researchers at the Swedish Defense Research Agency FOI NBC Defense... view more... (2005-01-12)
Chronic infection persists by targeting stromal cell network in lymphoid organs
One of the biggest challenges to treating infectious diseases and developing preventive vaccines is the ability of many chronic infections to suppress the immune T-cell response over time. view more (2007-09-19)
USC researchers show that molecular markers predict tumor recurrence
Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have identified specific molecular markers that may help to predict tumor recurrence in stage II and III colon cancer patients. view more (2007-06-06)
Imaging technology helps identify esophageal cancer patients who respond well to treatment
New research at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center shows that Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is more accurate than conventional imaging in identifying patients who have good responses to chemotherapy and radiation treatment - a finding that could one day help some patients avoid surgery. view more (2006-03-22)
Colorectal cancer
Previously, only a few genes had been associated with the formation of metastases in colorectal cancer. Now, researchers of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch and Charité - University Medicine Berlin, Germany, have identified 115 genes that are disregulated both in the primary tumor and in its metastases. view more (2009-07-01)
USC researchers discover breast cancer stem cells in bone marrow
Almost all tumor cells found in the bone marrow of early stage breast cancer patients appear to be breast cancer stem cells, suggesting the risk of disease spread for all breast cancer patients may be greater than previously thought. view more (2006-10-09)
New chemotherapy combo produces side effects, but no extra efficacy, in early breast cancer patients
Adding capecitabine, a drug that inhibits DNA synthesis and slows the growth of tumour tissue, to docetaxel, in patients with early breast cancer, leads to more toxicities and does not improve the efficacy of treatment. view more (2008-04-17)
PET imaging significantly enhances standard imaging in lung cancer staging
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a useful diagnostic tool that supports the need for more accurate staging of lung cancer and improved treatment for patients, concludes an extensive systematic review published online today in Journal of National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-11-28)
Diet high in meat, fat and refined grains linked to risk for colon cancer recurrence, death
Patients treated for colon cancer who had a diet high in meat, refined grains, fat and desserts had an increased risk of cancer recurrence and death compared with patients who had a diet high in fruits and vegetables, poultry and fish. view more (2007-08-15)
Study analyzes heart attack mortality risk associated with Hodgkin disease treatments
Doctors have long known that patients treated for Hodgkin disease are at an increased risk for heart attacks. view more (2007-02-07)
Promising treatment target found in Hodgkin lymphoma
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute scientists have identified a protein that prevents the body's immune system from recognizing and attacking Hodgkin lymphoma cells. view more (2007-07-31)
Disparities in breast cancer treatment shown for women with disabilities
Among women receiving treatment for early-stage breast cancer, patients with disabilities had higher breast cancer mortality rates and were less likely than other women to receive standard treatment following breast-conserving surgery, according to a study in the Nov. 7 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. view more (2006-11-07)
Two targeted therapies likely better than one in patients with aggressive lymphoma
When combined with a cocktail of chemotherapy drugs, two monoclonal antibodies, instead of one, appear to offer superior results in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, according to Mayo Clinic researchers working with the North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG). view more (2009-05-15)
