Genetic predictors of esophageal cancer identified
Researchers have identified 11 genotypes that may increase esophageal cancer risk, according to research published in the November issue of Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.   view more (2008-11-05)

PET-CT highly accurate for detecting ovarian cancer recurrence
The accuracy of PET-CT for detecting recurrent ovarian cancer is high, more accurate even than either CT or PET alone, says a new study by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.   view more (2006-05-02)

Pre-eclampsia linked to increased cancer risk
Women with a history of pre-eclampsia are at increased risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach, breast, ovary, lung, and larynx, shows new research from Israel. This study will be available on bmj.com on Friday 5 March 2004. Previous studies have shown either no association or have... view more (2004-03-03)

Sentinel lymph node biopsy is associated with breast cancer rates
The incidence of some early stage metastatic breast cancers is increasing, but this finding is likely explained by changes in clinical practice, according to a study published online June 26 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.   view more (2007-06-27)

New data from NIH lab confirms protocol to reverse type 1 diabetes in mice
New data published in the Nov. 24 issue of Science provide further support for a protocol to reverse type 1 diabetes in mice and new evidence that adult precursor cells from the spleen can contribute to the regeneration of beta cells.   view more (2006-11-27)

Early warning: PSA testing can predict advanced prostate cancer
Researchers who showed that a single prostate specific antigen (PSA) test at age 50 or under could predict the presence of prostate cancer up to 25 years later, (regardless of clinical significance) have now found that a single PSA can be used to predict advanced prostate cancer.   view more (2008-02-15)

Stem cells as cancer therapy
It is widely hoped that neural stem cells will eventually be useful for replacing nerves damaged by degenerative diseases like Alzheimer disease and multiple sclerosis. But there may also be another use for such stem cells-delivering anti-cancer drugs to cancer cells.   view more (2006-12-26)

Annual prostate cancer screening test appears to save lives
Men who have a yearly blood test to examine their prostate specific antigen levels are nearly three times less likely to die from prostate cancer than those who don't have annual screenings.   view more (2005-10-20)

Newly Identified Gene Activated In 80% Of Breast Cancer Patients
New research, published this week in Breast Cancer Research, could provide a genetic explanation for breast cancer. A George Washington University Medical Center team, led by Patricia Berg, has discovered that the gene BP1 is activated in 80% of breast cancer patients. The researchers believe that... view more (2003-04-25)

Screening for bowel cancer must include general population, not just those at risk
If screening for bowel cancer is to get the go-ahead, it must include everyone, not just those with a family history, who are known to be at increased risk, reports research in the Journal of Medical Screening. The government is known to be considering setting up a nationwide screening programme... view more (2001-06-29)
