Ovarian function and fertility preserved in women with severe systemic lupus erythematosus
Ovarian function can be preserved and disease activity controlled in women with severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) when treated with a 6-month course of cyclophosphamide (CYC), a chemotherapy drug, followed by the immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). view more (2008-06-13)
UBC discovery may lead to 'smart' therapies for breast, ovarian cancer
New non-toxic and targeted therapies for metastatic breast and ovarian cancers may now be possible, thanks to a discovery by a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia. view more (2007-03-19)
Varying prevalence among ethnic groups of gene mutation that increases risk of breast cancer
Among several U.S. racial/ethnic groups examined, Hispanic women were found to have the highest prevalence of the cancer-associated gene mutation BRCA1 at 3.5 percent, with Asian Americans having the lowest prevalence (0.5 percent), according to a study in the December 26 issue of JAMA. view more (2007-12-26)
Dopamine agonist can prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in IVF patients
A class of drug widely used in a number of gynaecological conditions can prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), an infrequent but serious complication of assisted reproduction treatments. view more (2006-06-22)
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)
Fatty spheres loaded with siRNA shrink ovarian cancer tumors in preclinical trial
A molecular "off" switch packaged in a tiny sphere penetrates deeply into ovarian cancer tumor cells, stifling a troublesome protein and drastically reducing the size of tumors. view more (2006-08-15)
Why Do Patients Choose Not To Donate Tissue?
When patients have adequate information, donating surgically removed human tissue to commercial research is not a contentious issue, finds a study in this week's BMJ. At Peterborough District Hospital, a trained nurse interviews patients before their operation and, with consent, surplus tissue is collected and supplied for commercial research.... view more...

Cancer survivors at greater risk of birth complications; special monitoring needed
Survivors of childhood cancer run particular risks when pregnant and should be closely monitored. view more (2009-07-01)
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)
Imperial College London Press Invitation - The future of research into Parkinson’s disease and tissue banking
Leading scientists from across the world will join academics and researchers from Imperial College London to discuss the future of research into Parkinson’s disease and tissue banking. view more (2002-07-04)
Flow technique could simplify targeting cancer therapy
A quick and simple technique to characterize breast cancer cells may expedite and improve treatment decisions, researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago report in the journal of Experimental and Molecular Pathology. view more (2006-02-02)
New treatment shows promise against recurrent gynecologic cancers
Recurrent and metastatic endometrial and ovarian cancers can be notoriously difficult to treat: They have spread to other organs and typically have developed resistance to chemotherapy; and patients already heavily treated with chemotherapy may not be able to endure more chemo. view more (2009-04-22)
Genetic factors implicated in survival gap for breast, ovarian or prostate cancer
A new finding reveals that African-American patients with breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer tend to die earlier than patients of other races with these cancers, even when they receive identical medical treatment and when socioeconomic factors are controlled for. view more (2009-07-09)
OHSU is part of national effort to preserve, restore fertility in women with cancer
The Oregon National Primate Research Center and the Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine have been named to a national team of institutions hoping to preserve or restore fertility in women battling cancer. view more (2007-09-12)
Researchers identify and shut down protein that fuels ovarian cancer
A protein that stimulates blood vessel growth worsens ovarian cancer, but its production can be stifled by a tiny bit of RNA wrapped in a fatty nanoparticle, a research team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2008-02-27)
MRI Superior to Mammography for Screening Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is significantly more sensitive than mammography and ultrasound for diagnosing familial breast cancer, according to researchers at Germany's University of Bonn. view more (2003-06-12)
New role for tamoxifen as fertility drug for breast cancer patients?
US fertility experts have discovered a potential new role for the wonder drug tamoxifen - helping breast cancer patients to have babies by IVF. In a study published today (Wednesday 8 January) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction [1], researchers from New York's Cornell University report the first IVF pregnancy to... view more...

Eggs from embryonic stem cells could benefit sterile women
Monash researchers have developed a process that causes embryonic stem (ES) cells to develop into ovarian structures containing eggs. view more (2005-06-20)
MIT works toward safer gene therapy
In work that could lead to safe and effective techniques for gene therapy, MIT researchers have found a way to fine-tune the ability of biodegradable polymers to deliver genes. view more (2007-09-10)
Heterotopic gastric tissue simulating acute appendicitis
It is not uncommon to find tissue that normally lines the stomach in locations outside of the digestive tract. This "heterotopic" gastric tissue has been identified in such diverse locations as the scrotum, the gall bladder, and the spinal cord. view more (2008-05-21)
