Scientists are developing markers capable of spotting minute numbers of cancer cells in blood
Scientists have identified three molecular markers which, when used together, are capable of detecting minute amounts of metastatic cancer cells in the blood of patients. Although this research is in its early days, they hope it will lead to the development of a simple and easy test to spot cancer... view more (2002-03-21)

Review examines breast cancer prevention strategies in the United States
A new review outlines potential pharmaceutical, dietary, surgical, and other approaches to reducing the risk of breast cancer among women in the United States, and examines the evidence for specific recommendations.    view more (2008-11-05)

NHS breast screening targets need to be reviewed
Women who attend the NHS breast screening programme have a higher risk of breast cancer than women who decline to participate, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This "self selection" for screening has important implications for NHS breast cancer detection targets. Researchers at the... view more (2001-07-18)

Pregancies ending in abortion do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer (p 1007)
Results of a major international collaboration investigating the relationship between abortion and breast cancer are published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Authors of the study conclude that the totality of the worldwide evidence does not suggest any increase in the risk of developing breast... view more (2004-03-24)

Statins have neutral effect on risk of cancer
The cholesterol-lowering medications called statins do not appear to reduce the incidence of cancer or cancer deaths.   view more (2006-01-04)

American Cancer Society study finds high use of complementary methods among cancer survivors
A new study from researchers at the American Cancer Society finds many cancer patients use complementary and alternative methods, most often prayer, relaxation, supplements, meditation, and massage.   view more (2008-08-04)

Early trigger for type-1 diabetes found in mice, Stanford scientists report
Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine are shedding light on how type-1 diabetes begins.   view more (2008-08-27)

Cancer drugs my build and not tear down blood vessels
Scientists have thought that one way to foil a tumor from generating blood vessels to feed its growth - a process called angiogenesis - was by creating drugs aimed at stopping a key vessel growth-promoting protein. But now the opposite seems to be true.   view more (2008-11-10)

Jefferson scientists show gene reverts cancer genes to normal, predicts breast cancer prognosis
Scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have shown that the activity of a gene that commandeers other cancer-causing genes, returning them to normal, can predict the prognosis of an individual with breast cancer.   view more (2006-11-01)

Gene linked to lower breast cancer risk
Dr. Uwe Langsenlehner and colleagues from Medical University Graz in Austria showed that a specific genetic variation in a cytokine gene is associated with lower breast cancer risk.   view more (2005-06-06)

Parents need help to talk to their children about cancer
Cancer is relatively common among women of childbearing age. Although the importance of communication with patients and their families has been recognised, relatively little has been published about communication with children when their parent is newly diagnosed as having cancer.   view more (2006-04-14)

Genes set scene for metastasis
Biologists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have identified a set of genes expressed in human breast cancer cells that work together to remodel the network of blood vessels at the site of the primary tumor.   view more (2007-04-12)

Breast cancer conference calls for support for elderly patients and for independent academic research
Safeguarding academic research, improving individual risk assessment, greater attention to elderly cancer breast cancer patients, and a rethink on care after breast cancer were the four areas highlighted by participants at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-4) in Hamburg today (20... view more (2004-03-20)

Burnham Researchers Turn Cancer Friend into Cancer Foe
Burnham Institute for Medical Research today announced that scientists have created a peptide that binds to Bcl-2, a protein that protects cancer cells from programmed cell death, and converts it into a cancer cell killer.   view more (2008-10-08)

Cancer survivors have low levels of physical activity and high levels of obesity
A new study reveals that many cancer survivors are inactive and obese, which may negatively affect the control of their disease. The findings, which come from a study of cancer survivors in Canada, show that a cancer diagnosis does not appear to prompt significant behavior change and that... view more (2008-04-21)

MIT researchers offer glimpse of rare mutant cells
MIT biological engineers have developed a new imaging system that allows them to see cells that have undergone a specific mutation.   view more (2008-07-22)

Researchers ID gene linked to lung cancer
Researchers at Johns Hopkins, as part of a large, multi-institutional study, have found one gene variant that is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer. The study will be published in the April 3 issue of Nature Genetics.   view more (2008-04-03)

Small changes in hospital practice bring significant benefits to rectal cancer patients
Copenhagen, Denmark: Small but important changes in hospital practice during the treatment of rectal cancer can produce significant benefits to patients, according to research from Sweden. Professor Lars P'åhlman, a professor and consultant surgeon at the Department of Surgery at University... view more (2003-09-22)

Physical activity more likely to prevent breast cancer in certain groups
Physically active women are 25 per cent less likely to get breast cancer, but certain groups are more likely to see these benefits than others, finds a review of research published online ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.   view more (2008-05-13)

Bacteria increase risk of lower stomach cancer, decreases risk of upper
The bacteria Helicobacter pylori substantially increase the risk of cancer in the lower stomach, but it may decrease the risk of cancer near the junction between the esophagus and the stomach.   view more (2006-10-18)

Drug compound leads to death of ovarian cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy
In a discovery that may be useful for maintaining remission in chemo-resistant ovarian cancer, Yale scientists report that pre-clinical studies have shown the drug compound NV-128 can induce the death of ovarian cancer cells by halting the activation of a protein pathway called mTOR.   view more (2008-04-18)

University of Kent Study Aims To Improve Information And Support Needs For Older Men With Prostate Cancer
The Centre for Health Services Studies (CHSS) at the University of Kent is currently engaged in an exploratory study of the information and support needs for men aged 75+ with prostate cancer.   view more (2004-11-03)

Immune deficiency linked to a type of eye cancer
The incidence of squamous cell eye cancer is greater among kidney transplant patients and people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than the general public, which suggests the disease is associated with immune deficiency.   view more (2007-08-15)
