High rates of skin cancer among airline pilots
Rates and types of cancer were assessed in 458 pilots, 265 of whom flew the national Icelandic airline across European and transAtlantic routes. These were then compared with the rates of cancer expected to develop in the population as a whole, gathered from data supplied by the national cancer registry, according to age. view more (2000-02-14)
Mutations in the BRAF gene predict sensitivity to a novel class of cancer drugs
A team of researchers led by scientists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center have discovered that a new class of drugs - now in early stage clinical trials - work best in patients with mutations in the BRAF gene. view more (2005-11-07)
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)
How Cancer Neutralises T Cell Attack
New insights into how tumours neutralise CD8 T cells, and a strategy for overcoming the tumour's response to attack. Lausanne (April 15) -- It has long been recognised that the immune system is able to recognise and destroy cancer cells, but although the immunological battle might slow the progression or spread of cancer, it's usually the cancer... view more...

New insight into skin-tanning process suggests novel way of preventing skin cancer
Findings from a study led by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Children's Hospital Boston have rewritten science's understanding of the process of skin tanning - an insight that has enabled them to develop a promising way of protecting fair-skinned people from skin cancer caused by exposure to sunlight. view more (2006-09-21)
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)
Speeding discovery of the 'human cancer genome'
Two gene discoveries announced in separate reports in the June 30, 2006 issue of Cell highlight one way to speed through the human genome in search of those genes most important for spawning cancer. view more (2006-06-29)
Brain metastases hijack neuron-supporting cells to resist chemotherapy
Cancer that spreads to other organs finds a particularly inviting hideout in the brain, where these metastases are usually far harder to treat than they are in other locations. view more (2009-04-20)
MIT engineers an anti-cancer smart bomb
Imagine a cancer drug that can burrow into a tumor, seal the exits and detonate a lethal dose of anti-cancer toxins, all while leaving healthy cells unscathed. view more (2005-07-28)
Novel lipoplex nanoparticle to be used in 1st human trial treating advanced solid cancer
The first clinical trial of a biologic nanoparticle designed to give back to cancer patients the tumor-busting gene they have lost is expected to start in September at Georgetown University Medical Center. view more (2005-08-25)
Scientists one step closer to cancer vaccine
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have helped to identify a molecule that can be used as a vaccination agent against growing cancer tumours. view more (2006-03-22)
Gender linked to development of skin cancer
Inherent gender differences - instead of more sun exposure - may be one reason why men are three times more likely than women to develop certain kinds of skin cancer, say researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center. view more (2007-04-02)
Scripps research scientists enhance immune system attacks on cancer
In an Early Edition issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) published online on October 20, 2008, the scientists describe how they used multiple tactics to rev up both innate and adaptive immunity to enhance the body's ability to fight cancer. view more (2008-10-22)
Chemistry & Industry - 1 July Issue
NEWS Diseases linked to UV exposure (page 4) The potentially devastating effects of a depleted ozone layer are highlighted by two recent reports detailing the link between ultraviolet exposure and disease in both humans and animals. One shows that the incidence of melanoma can be influenced by geographic location. Fallopian tube journey mimicked... view more... (2002-06-26)
New findings on the formation of body pigment
The skin's pigment cells can be formed from completely different cells than has hitherto been thought, a new study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet shows. The results, which are published in the journal Cell, also mean the discovery of a new kind of stem cell. view more (2009-10-19)
Study explains why up to eight percent of cancers go undetected
A few years ago, Medhat Osman, M.D., Ph.D., had a patient who was scanned due to a suspicion of lung cancer using positron emission tomography (PET) and computer tomography (CT) technology. The scan came back negative, but the patient then complained of a problem with his leg. view more (2005-06-15)
Fugitive cancer cells can be blocked by stopping blood cells that aid them
Cancer cells get a helping hand from platelets, specialized blood cells involved in clotting. Platelets shelter and feed tumor cells that stray into the bloodstream, making it easier for cancer to spread, or metastasize. view more (2008-03-10)
Studying cancer in pet dogs to find new treatments for human patients
A team of scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, USA, says that studying pet dogs with cancer could yield valuable information on how to diagnose and treat human cancers. view more (2009-10-13)
Statins have neutral effect on risk of cancer
The cholesterol-lowering medications called statins do not appear to reduce the incidence of cancer or cancer deaths. view more (2006-01-04)
