BITIA, new software for the investigation of cancer
NorayBio, a bioinformatics company located at the Bizkaia Technological Park (Basque Country) and specialising in developing software for the biosciences, has launched a new software for cancer research on to the market - BITIA, primarily aimed at research centres and cancer wards in hospitals. view more (2004-11-15)
Unexplained liver hemorrhage after metastasis radiofrequency ablation
Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most common cancers in the world. Approximately one in four of these patients have metastases at diagnosis, liver being the most common site involved. view more (2009-11-18)
Team finds breast cancer gene linked to disease spread
A team of researchers at Princeton University and The Cancer Institute of New Jersey has identified a long-sought gene that is fatefully switched on in 30 to 40 percent of all breast cancer patients, spreading the disease, resisting traditional chemotherapies and eventually leading to death. view more (2009-01-06)
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)
Bowel cancer sufferers at risk of developing other unrelated cancers faster than expected
Bowel cancer sufferers are at increased risk of developing other completely different cancers at a higher rate than would be expected, finds a study in Gut. And this excludes recurrence of, or spread (metastasis) from, the original tumour. view more (2002-04-09)
New role for sugars: Research shows connections between sugar modifications in cells and cancer
In a ground-breaking study published in the top journal, Cell, Dr. James Dennis, senior investigator at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital, has discovered a new role for sugars on proteins. view more (2007-04-06)
Translational derepression & oncogene expression in breast cancer cells
Drs. Anuradha Mehta, Christopher Trotta and Stuart Peltz (PTC Therapeutics) have uncovered a novel mechanism whereby the translation efficiency of oncogenes is increased in cancer cells. view more (2006-03-31)
A new pharmaceutical drug that halts progress of metastatic kidney cancer
Research has shown the efficacy of a pharmaceutical drug known as sunitinib which halts progress of metastatic kidney cancer. view more (2007-03-02)
Tracking the spread of cancer cells - Photon02
Not much is known about how clustered cancer cells move, but it is important to understand how individual cancer cells break off from a cluster and spread throughout the human body. A research collaboration between the University of Wales College of Medicine and Kingston University * has lead to the development of a computational imaging technique... view more... (2002-08-28)
MDCT, virtual gastroscopy and MPR images differentiate malignant and benign gastric ulcers
Multidetector CT using virtual gastroscopy and post contrast enhanced multiplanar reformation images can be useful in differentiating between malignant and benign gastric ulcers, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. view more (2008-07-17)
Cancer cell communication exposed
The discovery, by scientists at Monash University and the Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, of how communication between cancer cells is controlled has promised new treatment options for malignant tumours. view more (2005-10-31)
Study identifies new tumor suppressor
A protein called HLJ1 may work as a novel tumor suppressor in non-small-cell lung carcinoma. view more (2006-06-21)
New universal breast cancer marker predicts recurrence and clinical outcome
Reporting online in the American Journal of Pathology, researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have implicated the loss of a stromal protein called caveolin-1 as a major new prognostic factor in patients with breast cancer, predicting early disease recurrence, metastasis and breast cancer patient survival. view more (2009-05-07)
Novel Discoveries Leading To Targeted Treatment Of Lymphatic Diseases
A gene responsible for lymphatic vessel formation Novel discoveries at the University of Helsinki, Finland, about the development of the lymphatic network may help researchers to better understand the mechanisms of cancer and its metastasis, and also diseases such as lymphedema, wound healing and inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. Lymphatic... view more... (2003-11-20)
New classification better identifies prostate cancer patients to benefit from hormone therapy
A new classification system for evaluating men after radiation treatment for prostate cancer better determines which men may recur and thus may benefit from hormone therapy. view more (2006-11-09)
Cancer stem cells similar to normal stem cells can thwart anti-cancer agents
Current cancer therapies often succeed at initially eliminating the bulk of the disease, including all rapidly proliferating cells, but are eventually thwarted because they cannot eliminate a small reservoir of multiple-drug-resistant tumor cells, called cancer stem cells, which ultimately become the source of disease recurrence and eventual... view more...

Physics at a Cellular Scale : A Recipe for Producing Cellular Movement from Hopping Microbeads
In a body, cells are capable of moving about, thanks to their actin "skeleton." This mobility, essential to certain cellular functions, can pose a danger when it becomes erratic. Such is the case, for example, when cancerous cells leave the initial tumor site and metastasize. To better understand cellular displacement, CNRS (1)... view more... (2002-06-05)
M. D. Anderson study finds dramatic increase in metastatic colon cancer survival
Novel chemotherapy and biological agents for metastatic colorectal cancer, combined with surgical advances in liver resection, have resulted in a dramatic increase in survival for patients with advanced disease. view more (2009-05-27)
Honey-bee products in cancer treatment and prevention
Natural honey-bee products such as propolis, royal jelly, caffeic acid, honey and venom may have applications in cancer treatment and prevention, say Croatian researchers in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture this month. view more (2004-12-02)
Smoking increases potential for metastatic pancreatic cancer
Smoking has once again been implicated in the development of advanced cancer. Exposure to nicotine by way of cigarette smoking may increase the likelihood that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma will become metastatic. view more (2009-07-28)
