Doctors conclude temsirolimus is effective new treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma
The results of a phase III, randomized clinical study involving patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma and poor prognostic features show temsirolimus improved overall survival when compared to the current treatment for this stage of disease.   view more (2007-05-31)

A new significance of LVD and angiogenic MVD is identified in human primary SCRC

Breast cancer information network
Mammary carcinoma is a direct and brutal affront to the feminine identity - especially when the diagnosis is made in the later stages of development, which can require a mastectomy. "We estimate that one in ten women in Germany will be confronted with this disease," says Dr. Dieter Alt,... view more (2002-11-27)

Removal of superficial tumours in oesophagus by endoscopy can avoid complete extirpation of this part of the digestive tract
The removal through endoscopy of tumours that affect only the superficial layers of the oesophagus can avoid complete extirpation of this part of the digestive tract.   view more (2008-04-11)

Recurrent low-grade carcinoma of the ovary less responsive to chemo than more common ovarian cancers
Recurrent low-grade serous carcinoma, a rare type of ovarian cancer, is less sensitive to chemotherapy and therefore more difficult to treat than more common high-grade ovarian cancers, according to researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.   view more (2008-03-11)

Melanoma risk only partially associated vith exposure to UVB from sunlight
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that the risk of developing melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, is only partially associated with exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, the rays in sunlight that increase in summer and cause sunburn.   view more (2005-12-21)

How does Fu-Zheng-Jie-Du-Decoction act on PTEN expression in hepatocellular carcinoma?
Many hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients in China may be treated with Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Some say it works, others doubt its effectiveness. These stated that a research group in China had found TCM can down-regulate the expression of PTEN in HCC, which may suppress tumor cell... view more (2008-01-17)
