Experimental agents may prevent radiation-induced leukemia
Treatment with biphosphonates could prevent radiation-induced leukemia, according to data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 100th Annual Meeting 2009. view more (2009-04-20)
Angiogenesis linked to poor survival in patients with rare type of ovarian cancer
Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that increased angiogenesis, or blood vessel formation, and vascular endothelial growth factor expression are associated with poor survival in women with sex cord-stromal ovarian tumors. view more (2009-02-06)
Circulating blood cells are important predictors of cancer spread in children
Endothelial progenitor cells may play a role in the start and progression of metastatic disease in children with cancer. view more (2009-07-15)
Can pathological techniques help identify primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma?
Primary colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare but distinctive malignancy of the large bowel. More than 96% of signet ring cell carcinomas arise in the stomach, with the rest arising from other primary organs. view more (2008-05-21)
NEDD9 Protein Supports Growth of Aggressive Breast Cancer
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have demonstrated that a protein called NEDD9 may be required for some of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer to grow. Their findings, based on the study of a mouse model of breast cancer, are presented in a recent issue of Cancer Research, available on-line now. view more (2009-10-05)
Brain irradiation in lung cancer
A national Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) study led by a Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center physician at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee has found that a course of radiation therapy to the brain after treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer reduced the risk of metastases to the brain within the first year after... view more...

Yes-associated protein: Early diagnosis of gastric carcinoma
Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a type of cellular adaptor protein and transcriptional co-activator. view more (2009-09-16)
Scientists isolate protein that may be 'boon' to medicine
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have isolated a unique protein that appears to have a dual function and could lead to a "boon in medicine." view more (2009-08-05)
Tumors stopped from spreading to new sites
For several types of cancer, persistently high levels of the soluble factor TGF-beta in the blood after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy correlate with increased risk of early metastasis and a poor prognosis. view more (2007-04-06)
A diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer doesn't always mean cancer spread
Triple-negative breast cancers are a heterogeneous group and may not always be associated with lymph node spread, a new study shows. view more (2008-04-14)
Breast Cancer, Prognostic Factors, Mortality, Recurrence
Tumor Grade, Age at Diagnosis of First Tumor, and Duration Without Cancer Predict the Risk of Death After a Local Recurrence of Breast Cancer view more (2002-05-16)
Novel marker of colon cancer
Colon cancer ranks second of all gastrointestinal malignant tumors, it is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. view more (2008-10-24)
Study sheds light on angiogenesis inhibitors, points to limitations, solutions
A new generation of cancer drugs designed to starve tumors of their blood supply - called "angiogenesis inhibitors"-succeeds at first, but then promotes more invasive cancer growth-sometimes with a higher incidence of metastases, according to a new study in animals. view more (2009-03-03)
Prophylactic cranial irradiation in small cell lung cancer significantly increases survival
Prophylactic cranial irradiation after chemotherapy significantly reduces the risk of brain metastasis and doubles one-year survival in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). view more (2007-08-17)
Reversing cancer cells to normal cells
In earlier work, Northwestern University scientist Mary J.C. Hendrix and colleagues discovered that aggressive melanoma cells (but not normal skin cells nor less aggressive melanoma cells) contain specific proteins similar to those found in embryonic stem cells. view more (2007-04-30)
Clinical study shows biological and clinical activity in relapsed leukemia patients
Finbarr Cotter, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of the Institute of Cell and Molecular Science at Barts and The London School of Medicine, today presented in an oral session "Clinical Caspase Activation in CLL by GCS-100: a Phase 2 Study" at the 10th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (10-ICML). view more (2008-06-05)
Tissue Geometry Plays Crucial Role in Breast Cell Invasion
Apropos of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a first-of-its-kind model for studying how breast tissue is shaped and structured during development. view more (2006-10-13)
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News reports on advances in miRNA

Study of concurrent radiotherapy, chemotherapy shows promise in small cell lung cancer
Treating limited stage small cell lung cancer(LSCL) with a combination of accelerated high-dose radiotherapy and chemotherapy has shown encouraging results. view more (2009-11-04)
Molecular imaging technology used in gastric cancer
Modern cancer care is critically dependent on imaging technologies, which are used to detect early tumors and guide their therapy or surgery. Molecular imaging technologies provide information about the functional or metabolic characteristics of malignancies, tumor stage and therapeutical response, and tumor recurrence; whereas conventional... view more...
