LSUHSC research describes function of key protein in cancer spread
Research led by David Worthylake, PhD, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, may help lay the groundwork for the development of a compound to prevent the spread of cancer. view more (2009-05-22)
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)
Study points toward relationship between cancer stem cells and prognosis in primary breast cancer
Breast cancer patients who received chemotherapy prior to surgery had heightened levels of cancer-initiating stem cells in their bone marrow, and the level of such cells correlated to a tumor's lymph node involvement, according to research from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2009-05-15)
New method separates cancer cells from normal cells
The vast majority of cancer deaths are due to metastasis, the spread of cancer cells from its primary site to other parts of the body. view more (2009-06-16)
Researchers urge monitoring of bone health during chemotherapy
In laboratory tests on mice, researchers found that a medication often used to reduce toxic side effects of chemotherapy induced bone loss and helped tumors grow in bone. So the researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are recommending increased awareness of bone health during cancer treatments. view more (2007-01-15)
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)
Core needle biopsy gives an accurate picture of gene expression in whole tumor
The gene expression profile detected in the core needle biopsy of a breast tumour is representative of gene expression in the whole tumour. view more (2006-08-21)
A gene for metastasis
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the Western world. The tumor starts off as a polyp but then turns into an invasive and violent cancer, which often spreads to the liver. view more (2007-08-28)
What induce local recurrence of rectal carcinoma?
It is well known that local recurrence is the most important prognostic factor of rectal carcinoma. However, even after undergoing radical resection of primary tumors and lymph nodes, about 4%-50% of patients with rectal carcinoma were reportedly with local recurrence. view more (2008-09-22)
Researchers identify potential therapeutic target in osteosarcoma
A receptor known to be active in bone metastases, but previously unexplored in primary bone tumors, is a potential therapeutic target in osteosarcoma, investigators from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report in the March 1 issue of Cancer Research. view more (2009-03-02)
Test can predict spread of eye cancer to liver
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a method to predict whether melanoma of the eye will spread to the liver, where it quickly turns deadly. view more (2006-09-14)
Tumor size related to lung cancer spread
Smaller tumors in the lungs appear to be less likely to have spread than larger tumors among patients with asymptomatic lung cancer, suggesting that early screening may be useful in detecting cancers that are still curable. view more (2006-02-14)
OHSU researchers discover protein fragment that helps predict breast cancer outcome
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have identified a protein fragment in some human breast cancers that may help predict a patient's chances of survival. view more (2006-01-16)
Obesity at time of prostate-cancer diagnosis dramatically increases risk of dying from the disease
Obese men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer have more than two-and-a-half times the risk of dying from the disease as compared to men of normal weight at the time of diagnosis, according to a study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. view more (2007-03-15)
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)
Combination scanner may increase accuracy in detecting spread, recurrence of head, neck cancer
A highly powerful scanner combining two state-of-the-art technologies - computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) - may detect the spread of head and neck cancer more accurately than other widely used imaging examinations. view more (2005-07-28)
Curacyte scientists discover new anti-tumour agents
Curacyte AG, a Munich-based drug development company focused on novel treatments of inflammatory diseases, thrombotic disorders and cancer has announced today that its scientists have discovered a series of novel small molecule inhibitors of matriptase, a trypsin-like serine protease. Matriptase is an important mediator in the degradation of the... view more... (2003-06-17)
An obstacle to cancer cells
The circulation of cancer cells through the blood vessels is often the cause of metastasis. These cancer cells contaminate normal cells and the pathology spreads throughout the body. view more (2005-12-19)
Chicago team uses artificial intelligence to diagnose metastatic cancer
When doctors are managing care for women with breast cancer, the information available to them profoundly influences the type of care they recommend. view more (2009-07-28)
PET/CT May Improve Prognosis for Patients With Inflammatory Breast Cancer
In the largest study to date to evaluate fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in the initial staging of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), researchers were able to identify the precise location and extent of metastasis (spread of disease), offering the potential for a better prognosis for... view more...
