New genetic marker characterizes aggressiveness of cancer cells
Levels of a small non-coding RNA molecule called let-7 appear to define different stages of cancer better than some of the "classical" markers for tumor progression. view more (2007-06-26)
Recurrent low-grade carcinoma of the ovary less responsive to chemo than more common ovarian cancers
Recurrent low-grade serous carcinoma, a rare type of ovarian cancer, is less sensitive to chemotherapy and therefore more difficult to treat than more common high-grade ovarian cancers, according to researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2008-03-11)
Taking the contraceptive pill may reduce the risk of developing cancer
Taking the contraceptive pill does not increase a woman's chances of developing cancer and may even reduce the risk for most women, according to a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-09-12)
UCSD researchers state vitamin D needed to cut cancer risk
Taking 1,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D3 daily appears to lower an individual's risk of developing certain cancers - including colon, breast, and ovarian cancer - by up to 50 percent. view more (2005-12-29)
New device could cut chemotherapy deaths
A new method of delivering chemotherapy to cancer patients without incurring side effects such as hair loss and vomiting is being developed. view more (2006-03-31)
Gene thought to assist chemo may help cancer thrive
A gene thought to be essential in helping chemotherapy kill cancer cells, may actually help them thrive. view more (2007-05-16)
New pathway provides more clues about BRCA1 role in breast cancer
A breast cancer gene's newly discovered role in repairing damaged DNA may help explain why women who inherit a mutated copy of the gene are at increased risk for developing both breast and ovarian cancer. view more (2008-01-16)
Discovery of follicles offers hope of babies for Turner's syndrome girls
Lausanne, Switzerland: Swedish researchers have found that teenage girls with Turner's syndrome still have follicles in their ovaries which may be capable of producing eggs. This discovery offers hope that Turner's syndrome girls may be able to have babies in the future. Mr Julius Hreinsson, an embryologist in the Fertility Unit at Huddinge... view more... (2001-07-03)
Researchers determine predicting factors of positive lung cancer diagnoses in chest radiographs
A study published in the June 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology determined several predictors of a positive lung cancer diagnosis after having an abnormal chest x-ray. view more (2009-06-02)
Risk of breast cancer mutations underestimated for Asian women, Stanford study shows
Oncologist Allison Kurian, MD, and her colleagues at the Stanford University School of Medicine were perplexed. Computer models designed to identify women who might have dangerous genetic mutations that increase their risk of breast and ovarian cancer worked well for white women. But they seemed to be less reliable for another ethnic group. view more (2008-09-12)
Vitamin C injections slow tumor growth in mice
High-dose injections of vitamin C, also known as ascorbate or ascorbic acid, reduced tumor weight and growth rate by about 50 percent in mouse models of brain, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers, researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) report in the August 5, 2008, issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-08-05)
Image Guided Treatment Helping Women with Tubo Ovarian Abscesses Avoid Unnecessary Surgery
Image guided drainage of tubo ovarian abscesses help women avoid surgery, according to a study performed at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA. Tubo ovarian abscesses (TOAs) are an infected collection of pus, involving a patient's fallopian tube(s) or ovaries. They can occur in patients with complicated cases of pelvic inflammatory... view more... (2009-04-24)
Gene expression profile helps predict chemotherapy response in ovarian cancer patients
A newly identified gene expression profile could help predict how patients with advanced ovarian cancer will respond to chemotherapy treatment. view more (2005-11-04)
Women often opt to surgically remove their breasts, ovaries to reduce cancer risk
Many women at high risk for breast or ovarian cancer are choosing to undergo surgery as a precautionary measure to decrease their cancer risk. view more (2009-08-06)
Study Confirms Value Of Family-history Knowledge For Young Women With Breast Cancer (p 1101)
A UK study published as a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights the importance of detailed family-history knowledge to help identify women with pathogenic gene mutations for breast cancer. Women who carry mutations of BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 genes have a much higher lifetime risk of breast cancer-up to 80%-compared with... view more... (2003-03-26)
Jefferson scientists deliver toxic genes to effectively kill pancreatic cancer cells
A research team, led by investigators at the Department of Surgery at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University and the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson, has achieved a substantial "kill" of pancreatic cancer cells by using nanoparticles to successfully deliver a deadly diphtheria toxin gene. view more (2008-09-24)
SCIENTISTS TAKE A STEP CLOSER TO UNDERSTANDING BREAST CANCER GENEWorld first for Imperial Cancer Research Fund
Scientists from the Imperial Cancer Research Fund are the first in the world to solve the structure of an important region of a protein molecule made by the XRCC1 gene which has a role in human DNA repair. The same region is also found in the BRCA1 gene which is involved in breast cancer. Their findings now explain why some genetic changes can... view more... (1998-11-03)
Suicide Gene Combination Targets Breast Cancer
A new 'mix and match' cancer therapy is being unveiled at the British Endocrine Societies meeting in Birmingham today. view more (2000-03-07)
Genetic testing for breast cancer could benefit minorities but is underused
Ten years after the identification of the first breast cancer susceptibility genes so few high-risk minority women have received genetic counseling or testing that the standard methods of calculating risk have not been validated in these groups and the results of genetic testing can still produce surprises. view more (2005-10-19)
Mayo Clinic researchers recommend embryo transfer delay for at-risk women
Mayo Clinic researchers have determined a method to achieve the best results for the mother's health and birth of a live baby for women who undergo in vitro fertilization who demonstrate risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. view more (2006-10-25)
