Can EUS elastography help distinguish benign from malignant tissue?
A major limitation of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) examination is its limited capacity to determine the exact nature of a lesion. view more (2009-04-15)
Study shows cancer vaccines led to long-term survival for patients with metastatic melanoma
Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian today announced promising data from a clinical study showing patient-specific cancer vaccines derived from patients' own cancer cells and immune cells were well tolerated and resulted in impressive long-term survival rates in patients with metastatic melanoma whose disease had been minimized by other therapies. view more (2009-07-29)
Inducing Melanoma for Cancer Vaccine Development
Cancer vaccines are being investigated in early-phase clinical trials around the world, with many of those trials recruiting patients with melanoma. view more (2006-03-28)
Protein may be linked to melanoma recurrence
Higher levels of a protein called S-100 in patients with melanoma may correlate with a higher risk of having the disease return. view more (2007-06-04)
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)
Is it possible to differentiate GISTs from leiomyomas by endoscopic ultrasonography?
A research article to be published on July 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. This research led by Professor Kim and his colleagues in Pusan National University, South Korea. view more (2009-07-29)
Larger skin lesions appear more likely to be melanomas
Skin lesions larger than 6 millimeters in diameter appear more likely to be melanomas than smaller lesions, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The findings suggest that the diameter guidelines currently used by dermatologists to screen for melanoma are useful. view more (2008-04-22)
Researchers Identify New Method to Selectively Kill Metastatic Melanoma Cells
An international team of researchers has identified a new method for selectively killing metastatic melanoma cells, which may lead to new areas for drug development in melanoma - a cancer that is highly resistant to current treatment strategies. view more (2009-08-04)
3T MRI Detects "Early" Breast Cancer Not Seen on Mammography and Sonography
3T MRI, a powerful tool for evaluating patients with a high risk of having breast cancer, can detect a significant number of lesions not found on mammography and sonography. view more (2009-05-06)
New combination therapy safe, promising for melanoma patients
The combination of two different biotherapies may be beneficial for patients with inoperable melanoma, according to a University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) study presented at the 44th annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago. view more (2008-06-02)
Researchers discover why melanoma is so malignant
About 60,000 Americans will be diagnosed with melanoma this year, says the American Cancer Society, and 10,000 of those cases will be fatal. view more (2005-09-06)
NYU Langone Medical Center researchers find micro RNA plays a key role in melanoma metastasis
Scientists have long wondered how melanoma cells travel from primary tumors on the surface of the skin to the brain, liver and lungs, where they become more aggressive, resistant to therapy, and deadly. view more (2009-02-10)
Melanoma treatment options 1 step closer
A targeted chemotherapy for the treatment of skin cancer is one step closer, after a team of University of Alberta researchers successfully synthesized a natural substance that shows exceptional potential to specifically treat this often fatal disease. view more (2009-10-21)
Finding protection from tumor growth in unexpected places
Researchers have discovered that an enzyme commonly involved in regulating blood pressure also provides protection from tumor growth when strongly expressed in immune cells. view more (2007-06-06)
Mayo Clinic reports new option for patients with metastatic melanoma
Patients with metastatic melanoma (MM) have new hope, says a recently published study by Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. view more (2006-01-04)
Summer update: Melanoma research progress suggests optimism for future cures
In a nation of sun-worshipers, melanoma is on the rise. Although doctors warn their patients to slather on sunscreen and seek cover in the shade, messages about sun safety still compete for the public's attention with magazine covers promoting that supposedly "healthy" tan look. view more (2006-06-20)
Women With Rare Twin-pregnancy Complication Have 40% Chance Of Delivering One Baby (p 2165)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence to suggest that women with a rare twin-pregnancy disorder are at no more increased risk of malignant disease than women with the disorder who choose to have their pregnancy terminated. Hydatidiform moles are a pregnancy complication where the fetus fails to develop;... view more... (2002-06-19)
Chronic inflammation can help nurture skin cancer, study shows
Inflammation, a frontline defense against infection or disease, can help nurture skin cancer, researchers have found. view more (2008-10-22)
Signaling proteins may represent biomarkers for melanoma
For the first time, researchers studying patients with abnormal moles have identified proteins that could help predict whether such moles will progress into melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. view more (2006-04-06)
Learning with a partner improves skin cancer self-examination practices
Individuals who received instruction on skin self-examination with their partners may be more likely to engage in this cancer prevention behavior. view more (2007-01-16)
