Mounting evidence shows red wine antioxidant kills cancer
Rochester researchers showed for the first time that a natural antioxidant found in grape skins and red wine can help destroy pancreatic cancer cells by reaching to the cell's core energy source, or mitochondria, and crippling its function. The study is published in the March edition of the... view more (2008-03-26)

Gene therapy eradicates pancreatic cancer in preclinical trial
A molecularly engineered therapy selectively embeds a gene in pancreatic cancer that shrinks or eradicates tumors, inhibits metastasis, and prolongs survival with virtually no toxicity.   view more (2007-07-10)

The new source of islet cells
The shortage of islet cells limits the development of islet transplantation. One new approach was reported in the October 21 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology because of its great significance in enhancing the output of islet cells. This article will undoubtedly bring benefit to... view more (2007-10-25)

A long-term survival offered by resection of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas?
The article published in volume 14 issue 6 of World Journal of Gastroenterology reports on one patient who presented to Dr Cosimo Sperti of University of Padua, Padova, Italy, in 2001 after an exploratory laparotomy performed in another hospital for an unresectable pancreatic cystic mass that had... view more (2008-03-13)

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... view more (2008-08-05)

Coming soon: Cell therapies for diabetes, cancer?
Therapies using stem cell transplants are advancing promising treatments for such conditions as Alzheimer's Disease, neurological diseases and spinal cord injury, and heart disease.   view more (2008-03-20)

Shining light on pancreatic cancer
Using novel light-scattering techniques, researchers have found the first evidence that early stage pancreatic cancer causes subtle changes in part of the small intestine.   view more (2007-08-01)

Fat cells send message that aids insulin secretion
The body's fat cells help the pancreas do its job of secreting insulin, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.   view more (2007-11-07)

Japanese adults with diabetes have increased cancer risk
Japanese adults with diabetes may have a higher risk of cancer overall and in several specific organs, including the liver, pancreas and kidney.   view more (2006-09-26)

Tracing agent, ultrasound combo helps test cancer therapy's effectiveness
An inexpensive tracing agent used in combination with ultrasound can pinpoint how effectively drugs targeting pancreatic cancer work, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have demonstrated for the first time.   view more (2007-01-10)

Circulating fats kill transplanted pancreas cells, study shows
Dietary restrictions or other strategies that limit fat formation might make pancreatic cell transplants more effective, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers report.   view more (2007-08-28)

Antegrade bowel intussusception can cause recurrent, chronic postoperative intestinal obstruction
Several complications can be seen after pancreatic surgery, most notably bleeding, infections and anastomotic dehiscence. Bowel obstruction can also be seen due to internal hernias or anastomotic strictures. A more unusual etiology for bowel obstruction in this setting is intussusception.   view more (2007-11-14)

Synthetic molecules hold promise for new family of anti-cancer drugs
Synthetic molecules designed by two Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers have succeeded in reducing and even eliminating the growth of human malignant tissues in mice, while having no toxic effects on normal tissue.   view more (2008-06-05)

In 'Spontaneous' Liver Cancer, Researcher Sees a Cure
Adding more good news to last week's announcement that Nexavar® (sorafenib) may be the first effective treatment for advanced liver cancer, researchers at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University have uncovered a new molecular mechanism that may... view more (2007-06-20)

Increased sensitivity to nerve signals keeps diabetes at bay
Nerve signals relayed directly to the pancreas after eating a meal play a critical role in normal blood sugar control.   view more (2006-06-07)

Cancer stem cells: know thine enemy
Stem cells -- popularly known as a source of biological rejuvenation -- may play harmful roles in the body, specifically in the growth and spread of cancer.   view more (2007-12-26)

Weight-loss surgery can cut cancer risk
Successful bariatric surgery allows morbidly obese patients to lose up to 70 percent of their excess weight and to maintain weight loss.   view more (2008-06-20)

Minimally invasive pancreas surgery leads to fewer complications, study finds
When surgeons need to remove part of the pancreas, performing the operation with minimally invasive techniques offers patients a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications, researchers have concluded.   view more (2008-04-25)

Potential new target for cancer found
By bypassing a well-known gene implicated in almost one-third of all cancers and instead focusing on the protein activated by the gene, Duke University Medical Center researchers believe they may have found a new target for anti-cancer drugs.   view more (2007-07-16)

The role of hormones in ovarian and endometrial cancers
High levels of the growth factor IGF-I can indicate increased risk of ovarian cancer before the age of 55. This is a finding put forward in a dissertation from Annekatrin Lukanova, Ume'å University, Sweden. The main objective of her thesis was to examine the relationship of pre-diagnostic... view more (2004-04-15)

Mouse model developed at UT Southwestern mimics hyperglycemia, aids in diabetes research
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have genetically engineered a laboratory mouse in which pancreatic beta cells can regenerate after being induced to die. The new animal model's regenerative ability may provide future insights into improved treatments of diabetes, which affects millions of... view more (2008-06-02)

Johns Hopkins develops pancreas cancer risk model
People with a family history of pancreas cancer now have a way to accurately predict their chance of carrying a gene for hereditary pancreas cancer and their lifetime risk of developing the disease.   view more (2007-04-17)

Overweight and obesity cause 6,000 cancers a year in UK women
The study shows that overweight and obese women in the UK are at a higher risk of developing and dying from cancer. In fact, the researchers estimate that 5% of all cancers (about 6,000 annually) are attributable to being overweight or obese.   view more (2007-11-07)

The miseries of allergies just may help prevent some cancers, study finds
There may be a silver -- and healthy -- lining to the miserable cloud of allergy symptoms: Sneezing, coughing, tearing and itching just may help prevent cancer -- particularly colon, skin, bladder, mouth, throat, uterus and cervix, lung and gastrointestinal tract cancer, according to a new Cornell... view more (2008-11-12)

Salivary diagnostics, the 'magic mirror' to your health ... at your personal computer
Accuracy, convenience, and non-invasiveness are the most critical characteristics for any diagnostic tool. A new concept, Salivaomics Knowledge Base (SKB), an in silico (i.e., performed on computer or via computer simulation) saliva diagnostic atlas, is launching today during the 37th Annual... view more (2008-04-07)
