Do patients at risk for B-cell malignancy need antiviral treatment?
Some studies have shown that a relationship of hepatitis C (HCV) infection with type II mixed cryoglobulinemia exists. However the precise mechanism remains unclear. view more (2009-04-15)
Barrow researchers identify a new approach to detect the early progression of brain tumors
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center recently participated in a pilot study with the Montreal Neurological Institute that suggests a certain type of MRI scanning can detect when a patient is failing brain tumor treatment before symptoms appear. view more (2008-08-29)
Hodgkin lymphoma -- new characteristics discovered
Researchers are still discovering new characteristics of Hodgkin lymphoma, a common form of cancer of the lymphatic system. The malignant cells are derived from white blood cells (B cells), but have lost a considerable part of the B cell-specific gene expression pattern. view more (2008-10-09)
How to differentiate macro-regenerative nodules from hepato-carcinoma?
BA, the congenital absence or destruction of intra- or extra-hepatic biliary system, affects about 5 - 10/100 000 live births. End stage liver cirrhosis developed in some BA patients later in life. view more (2008-10-13)
Diabetes drug shows promise for preventing brain injury from radiation therapy
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine are the first to report that in animal studies, a common diabetes drug prevents the memory and learning problems that cancer patients often experience after whole-brain radiation treatments. view more (2007-01-11)
The Light Is Fighting Cancer
The light helps physicians of the Gertsen Moscow Scientific Research Oncological Institute to fight cancer. The division headed by Professor Sokolov closely collaborates with the department of optical spectroscopy, Prokhorov Institute of General Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, headed by Professor Smirnov, Doctor of Science... view more...

Implants mimic infection to rally immune system against tumors
Bioengineers at Harvard University have shown that small plastic disks impregnated with tumor-specific antigens and implanted under the skin can reprogram the mammalian immune system to attack tumors. view more (2009-01-23)
Brain tumors may originate with neural stem cells, researchers say
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that stem cells in a certain region of the brain may be the source of a particular type of incurable brain tumor and may be implicated in other types of brain cancers as well. view more (2005-08-16)
Classifying indoor tanning behaviors can help physicians tailor prevention messages
Identifying indoor tanning behavior patterns can help physicians tailor prevention messages, according to a report in the December issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-12-18)
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)
McGill researchers link enzyme to breast cancer malignancy
McGill University researchers have uncovered the crucial role played by the enzyme focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in the onset of breast cancer. view more (2007-11-30)
Researchers identify new anti-tumor gene
Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University have identified a new anti-tumor gene called SARI that can interact with and suppress a key protein that is overexpressed in 90 percent of human cancers. The discovery could one day lead to an effective gene therapy for cancer. view more (2008-12-17)
New target for cancer therapy may improve treatment for solid tumors
Targeting and killing the non-malignant cells that surround and support a cancer can stop tumor growth in mice, reports a research team based at the University of Chicago Medical Center in the March 1, 2008, issue of the journal Cancer Research. The discovery offers a new approach to treating cancers that are resistant to standard therapy. view more (2008-03-04)
TGen researchers discover possible way to block the spread of deadly brain tumors
Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) may have found a way to stop the often-rapid spread of deadly brain tumors. view more (2009-04-20)
New approach to vaccine development provides potent, long-lasting immunity
The field of vaccine development is getting a boost from new research that has identified a promising vaccine delivery approach, which in animal studies produced long-term immune protection after just one immunization. view more (2006-05-24)
Vaccine/antibody therapy effective, milder side effects in melanoma and ovarian cancer
One of the shortcomings of a therapy that uses millions of identical antibodies to boost the immune system's attack on cancer cells is that many patients whose tumors recede in response to the treatment also experience serious inflammatory problems, such as severe diarrhea and rashes. view more (2008-02-19)
Skin cancer rare - but more deadly - in people with darker skin
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) shows that dark-skinned people-commonly thought to be "immune" to most skin cancers-are more likely than whites to die from skin cancer and its related complications. view more (2006-07-28)
Cancer cells spread by releasing 'bubbles', according to an MUHC study
A new fundamental mechanism of how tumour cells communicate has just been discovered by the team of Dr. Janusz Rak at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) in collaboration with Dr Guha from the University of Toronto. view more (2008-04-22)
New cell type identified in cancer development
Scientists have discovered a new type of cell that appears to play a role in the development of cancer - a highly volatile, precancerous stem cell that can either remain benign or become malignant, depending upon environmental cues. view more (2007-03-14)
Newly discovered behavior in cancer cells signals dangerous metastasis
The most aggressively malignant cancer cells have a "toggle switch" that enables them to morph into highly mobile cells that invade other tissues and then nest comfortably in their new surroundings, a new study in rats suggests. view more (2006-09-18)
