New Way To Predict The Spread Of Skin Cancer
A new way of predicting whether skin cancers will spread to other organs is published this week in the British Journal of Cancer. This means that resources can be concentrated on those patients most in need of close follow up, and lead to earlier detection of the cancer spreading. Malignant melanomas result in 1,600 deaths a year in the UK due to... view more... (2004-02-10)

Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center were able to observe-in real time-how the immune system initially recognizes cancer and mobilizes to fight the disease.   view more (2005-11-15)

Researchers develop novel mouse model to witness immune system attack on chlamydia
Using a novel mouse model that allows scientists to study how the immune system's fighter cells respond to invaders in the genital tract during the initial stage of infection, Harvard Medical School (HMS) researchers have found a way to track immunity against Chlamydia trachomatis.   view more (2006-07-25)

Early breast cancer tends to be more aggressive in women from deprived backgrounds
Women from deprived backgrounds who develop early breast cancer tend to have tumours that are more likely to be aggressive and to spread, according to data analysed at the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow, UK and reported at the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona on Thursday 21 March. Miss Catherine Sharp, a Senior House... view more... (2002-03-19)
