Cancer Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Discover What Makes Lymphomas Tick
University of Pennsylvania researchers and their colleagues at the Wistar Institute and University of Oxford have discovered the molecular process by which the PAX5 protein, necessary for lymphocyte development, promotes the growth of common lymphomas, thereby unveiling a potential new target in the fight against cancer. view more (2007-08-30)
Mouse study reveals human X-SCID gene therapy poses substantial cancer risk
New animal studies conducted at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies show that the only human gene therapy treatment to date considered to be largely successful, is, in fact, riskier than realized. view more (2006-04-27)

Research uncovers clues to virus-cancer link
In a series of recently-published articles, a research team from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered clues to the development of cancers in AIDS patients. view more (2009-06-18)
Study produces conflicting findings on the use of anti-anemia drug in cancer patients
Results from a phase III drug trial indicate that an anti-anemia drug did not significantly decrease the need for blood transfusions in patients not on chemotherapy, and decreased overall patient survival when compared to placebo. view more (2007-04-17)
Disability from long-term rheumatoid arthritis reduced with biologic treatment
New data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of Enbrel® (etanercept) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients over the long-term were presented today at the EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) congress. view more (2007-06-13)
Survey points out need for education for primary care physicians on rarely seen cancers
Many primary care physicians may lack the necessary knowledge when it comes to recognizing the signs, symptoms and making proper diagnoses in cases of blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, a recent survey indicates. view more (2007-12-11)
An AIDS-related virus reveals more ways to cause cancer, Penn researchers find
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have shed new light on how Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated Herpes Virus (KSHV) subverts normal cell machinery to cause cancer. view more (2007-10-09)
Certain cancers more common among HIV patients than non-HIV patients
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that non-AIDS-defining malignancies such as anal and lung cancer have become more prevalent among HIV-infected patients than non-HIV patients since the introduction of anti-retroviral therapies in the mid-1990s. view more (2009-09-25)
Clue found to Epstein-Barr virus' ability to form and sustain tumors
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) have found a viral target that opens the door for the development of drugs to destroy tumors caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). view more (2006-09-06)
Antioxidant found in many foods and red wine is potent and selective killer of leukemia cells
A naturally occurring compound found in many fruits and vegetables as well as red wine, selectively kills leukemia cells in culture while showing no discernible toxicity against healthy cells. view more (2007-04-24)
USC study finds that green tea blocks benefits of cancer drug
Contrary to popular assumptions about the health benefits of green tea, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have found that the widely used supplement renders a cancer drug used to treat multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma completely ineffective in treating cancer. view more (2009-02-04)
Promising advance in breast cancer research
Two new drugs, when combined, killed up to 75 percent of breast cancer tumor cells in mice and suppressed the regrowth of tumors, according to researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center. view more (2005-11-15)
When Good DNA Goes Bad: Backward DNA leads to DNA breaks associated with leukemia, study finds
When otherwise normal DNA adopts an unusual shape called Z-DNA, it can lead to the kind of genetic instability associated with cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. view more (2006-02-13)
Approved lymphoma drug shows promise in early tests against bone cancer

Cause For Massively Enlarged Spleens In Tropical Countries (p 449)
A previously under-recognised cause of massively enlarged spleens is reported by scientists from Ghana and the UK in this week's LANCET. Enlarged spleens result from many disorders and are common in tropical African countries, but the causes and diagnosis of massive tropical splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) have not been well studied. Dr Imelda... view more... (2002-08-07)
