Predicting cancer prognosis
Researchers led by Dr. Soheil Dadras at the Stanford University Medical Center have developed a novel methodology to extract microRNAs from cancer tissues. view more (2009-08-28)
Study provides documentation that tumor 'stem-like cells' exist in benign tumors
Cancer stem-like cells have been implicated in the genesis of a variety of malignant cancers. Research scientists at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute have isolated stem-like cells in benign (pituitary) tumors and used these "mother" cells to generate new tumors in laboratory mice. view more (2009-07-23)
Research Reveals Way to Speed Up Treatment of Deadly Malignant Hyperthermia
Every second counts for anesthesia patients afflicted by the often deadly condition known as malignant hyperthermia (MH). view more (2007-05-09)
Loss of tumor supressor gene essential to transforming benign nerve tumors into cancers
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center showed for the first time that the loss or decreased expression of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN plays a central role in the malignant transformation of benign nerve tumors called neurofibromas into a malignant and extremely deadly form of sarcoma. view more (2009-10-13)
Elasticity imaging identifies cancers and reduces breast biopsies
A new ultrasound technique allows radiologists to accurately distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions. Using elasticity imaging, researchers correctly identified both cancerous and harmless lesions in nearly all of the cases studied. view more (2006-11-28)
Dentists need more training in oral cancer detection
More than 92 percent of Illinois dentists provide oral cancer examinations for their patients, but many are not performing the procedures thoroughly or at optimum intervals, according to a new University of Illinois at Chicago study. view more (2007-05-30)
Researchers from the University of Navarra analyze new kinds of cancer-fighting antibodies
Two researchers from the University Hospital and the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA) from the University of Navarra have published an article in Nature Cancer Reviews, one of the leading scientific journals in the area of cancer studies. view more (2007-03-07)
Scientists map key landmarks in human genome
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers have developed a powerful method for charting the positions of key gene-regulating molecules called nucleosomes throughout the human genome. view more (2007-01-17)
New oncogene gives valuable insight into hepatocellular tumors in humans
The first identification of GP130 somatic activating mutations* in human tumours was announced today at EASL 2009, the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Liver Disease in Copenhagen, Denmark. view more (2009-04-23)
'Guardian of the genome' protein found to underlie skin tanning
A protein known as the "master watchman of the genome" for its ability to guard against cancer-causing DNA damage has been found to provide an entirely different level of cancer protection: By prompting the skin to tan in response to ultraviolet light from the sun, it deters the development of melanoma skin cancer, the fastest-increasing... view more...

Targeted virus compels cancer cells to eat themselves
An engineered virus tracks down and infects the most common and deadly form of brain cancer and then kills tumor cells by forcing them to devour themselves, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report this week in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2006-05-03)
Sunlight reduces risk of lymph gland cancer
A new study from Karolinska Institutet and Uppsala University shows that, contrary to previous belief, sunlight reduces the chances of developing tumours in the lymphatic glands (malignant lymphoma). The study is to be published in the next number of The Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2005-01-28)
Interleukin-8, key marker for colorectal cancer treatment
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently one of the three most frequent malignancies in Western industrial nations. view more (2007-10-10)
Software enhancement of breast MRI scans help radiologists reduce false positives
Using commercially available software to enhance breast scans done by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reduces the number of false positive identifications of malignant tumors and the subsequent need for biopsies. view more (2007-06-25)
Researchers find first evidence of virus in malignant prostate cells
In a finding with potentially major implications for identifying a viral cause of prostate cancer, researchers at the University of Utah and Columbia University medical schools have reported that a type of virus known to cause leukemia and sarcomas in animals has been found for the first time in malignant human prostate cancer cells. view more (2009-09-08)
Portuguese distinguished in article about stomach cancer
Three Portuguese researchers are co-authors of a scientific article about hereditary stomach cancer, published in the medical journal "New England Journal of Medicine" and recently awarded the Benjamin Castleman 2002 Award. Attributed by the International Academy of Pathology, the prize distinguishes the best scientific work in human pathology... view more... (2002-06-18)
Computer-Assisted Detection Of Proteomic Pattern Could Help Screening For Ovarian Cancer
Issue 16 February 2002 - Early Web Publication: Friday 8 February 2002 A sensitive and non-invasive computer-assisted technique which assesses proteomic patterns in blood could be a step towards effective screening for ovarian cancer, conclude authors of a fast-track study published on The Lancet website this week.* New technologies for the... view more...

Every moment counts: Predicting treatment responses earlier for brain tumor patients
Using metabolic or molecular imaging to measure brain tumor patients' response to treatment is a powerful predictor of survival, notes a first-of-its-kind study presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. view more (2007-06-04)

The National Radiological Protection Board advises holiday makers against overexposure to high sunlight
The incidence of skin cancer in the UK has significantly increased in recent years. There are now over 40,000 new cases and nearly 2,000 deaths from skin cancer in the UK each year. Much of this increase has been attributed to overexposure to sunlight not only when abroad but also sunbathing at home. In one recent study in Scotland, a third of... view more... (2003-05-27)
