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)
Approved lymphoma drug shows promise in early tests against bone cancer
A drug already approved for the treatment of lymphoma may also slow the growth of the most deadly bone cancer in children and teens, according to an early-stage study published online today in the International Journal of Cancer. view more (2009-11-06)
Adolescent survival rates for osteosarcoma have not improved for 20 years
More research is urgently needed says cancer surgeon London, UK: New treatments and more research are urgently needed in order to increase the numbers of adolescents who survive bone cancer, according to a leading cancer surgeon. Osteosarcoma is the third most common cancer in young people*, yet during the past 20 years little research has been... view more... (2004-02-28)
No benefit to increasing dose intensity of chemotherapy in osteosarcoma, study finds
A dose-intensive regimen of the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin offered no clinical benefit over standard doses of the chemotherapy drugs in patients with a bone cancer called osteosarcoma, according to results from a randomized trial in the January 17 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-01-17)
Insights into osteosarcoma in cats and dogs may improve palliative care
Researchers at the University of Illinois have found that a molecular pathway known to have a role in the progression of bone cancer in humans is also critical to the pathology of skeletal tumors in dogs and cats. view more (2007-03-02)
Childhood cancer survivors at increased risk of sarcoma
Survivors of childhood cancers have a ninefold increased risk of developing a secondary sarcoma—a cancer of connective or supportive tissue such as bone, fat, or muscle—compared with the general population. view more (2007-02-21)
Specific treatments for each type of sarcoma
The new molecular techniques allow designing specific treatments for a great number of sarcomas, according to Dr. Enrique de Alava, expert of the department of Pathologic Anatomy of the University Clinic of the University of Navarre. The molecular knowledge has become a very useful tool to study several diseases. In particular, it provides... view more... (2002-11-29)
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)
Nuclear reactor as a cancer cure
Despite the millions of dollars that have been invested into research to improve methods of treatments for various types of cancer, oncological diseases continue to have a high mortality rate, remaining one of the main causes of death globally. Traditional cancer treatment methods, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy are... view more... (2005-03-03)
A longer lasting tumor blocker
On the heels of dismaying reports that a promising antitumor drug could, in theory, shorten patients' long-term survival, comes a promising study by a Japanese team of researchers that suggests a potentially better option. view more (2009-04-28)

A new study of an estrogen-derived drug shows promise as a treatment for breast cancer and breast cancer metastases to bone. view more (2007-11-01)
Same process discovered to both form skeleton and protect it for life
A protein signaling pathway recently discovered to guide the formation of the skeleton in the fetus also keeps bones strong through adult life, according to two papers published recently in the journal Nature Medicine. view more (2008-03-13)
MU Veterinary Oncologists Advance Cancer Drugs for Humans and Pets
As more pet owners are choosing to treat their pets' cancers through advanced medicine, veterinarians gain valuable knowledge about the progression and treatment of cancers in humans through pet trials of new drugs. view more (2009-04-16)
Researchers find that childhood sarcoma increases risk of blood clots
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, have determined that children and young adults with a form of cancer called sarcoma are at increased risk of having a thromboembolic event (TE) in their veins. view more (2007-04-19)
