Another piece of the puzzle that is breast cancer has been found by University of Queensland researchers.   view more (2008-04-09)

MRC Scientists Find Better Way to Predict the Outcome of Breast Cancer Following Surgery
MRC Scientists have found a better way to predict the outcome of breast cancer following surgery which might lead to the improved management of the disease. The discovery, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, complements the methods doctors currently use to predict the outcome of breast... view more (2003-12-03)

Doctors able to predict chance of breast cancer returning
Doctors have created a first-ever computer tool to predict the risk of breast cancer returning in the same breast over a 10-year period in women who have had breast conserving surgery to remove only the cancer (lumpectomy).   view more (2006-11-07)

Men need to know more about cancer
Clare Moynihan and colleagues at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton, Surrey reported their research today, Thursday 2 September, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Health Psychology Annual Conference, in Leeds.

Triple Risk For Smokers With Faulty Gene
Smokers who inherit a particular genetic trait could triple their chances of getting lung cancer according to a report in the British Journal of Cancer.* While tobacco is the biggest cause of lung cancer. the risk of developing it varies. This has led scientists to believe that genetics may have a... view more (2002-07-09)

Anaemia Treatment Could Worsen Cancer Prognosis (p1255)
Results of a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET cast doubt over the value of treating anaemia with erythropoietin (epoetin beta) among patients who have cancer. Results of the study show that anaemic patients fare better in terms of reduced cancer progression and increased survival... view more (2003-10-15)

Women overestimate effectiveness of breast screening
Women either overestimate or are poorly informed about the effectiveness of breast screening, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. But these are the very women who attend for screening. To give them the facts might deter them from being screened, so creating a... view more (2001-10-12)

Using nanotechnology, UCLA researchers discover cancer cells 'feel' much softer than normal cells
A multidisciplinary team of UCLA scientists were able to differentiate metastatic cancer cells from normal cells in patient samples using leading-edge nanotechnology that measures the softness of the cells.   view more (2007-12-03)

Researchers develop new method to test for lung cancer
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have developed a new "clinicogenomic model" to accurately test for lung cancer.   view more (2008-04-02)

NO INCREASED CANCER RISK FOR SIBLINGS OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER (P 711)
Results of a population-based study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET suggest that siblings of children with common, non-inheritable cancer are not at an increased risk of malignant disease. In some rare inherited disorders such as retinoblastoma and Li-Fraumeni syndrome,... view more (2001-08-29)

Families cope better after euthanasia than natural death
The bereaved family and friends of cancer patients who die by euthanasia have less grief symptoms and post-traumatic stress reactions than the bereaved of comparable cancer patients who die a natural death, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers from the Netherlands assessed 189 bereaved... view more (2003-07-23)

Model for cancer cure
The outcome for some cancer patients can now be predicted much earlier by making the right choice of treatment based on a mathematical model rather than the current life-table method, which has been in use for over 20 years, according to research published today in the Institute of Physics Journal... view more (2002-10-23)

DO POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN REALLY NEED CERVICAL SMEAR TESTS ?
