Modeling head and neck cancers
In a report to be published in the May 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Xiao-Jing Wang and colleagues at Oregon Health & Science University present a novel model of head and neck cancer, which is expected to become an invaluable tool in the evaluation of biomarkers and therapies to treat this devastating... view more (2006-05-15)

A new therapeutic option for human hepatocyte cancer
p53-impaired tumors may be particularly suitable to parvovirus H-1-induced therapy. Although the p53 deficiency in tumors may induce resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, this will not affect the tumor cell susceptibility to H-1 PV-induced oncolytic infections.   view more (2008-09-24)

Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells.   view more (2006-04-03)

Interleukin-8, key marker for colorectal cancer treatment
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is currently one of the three most frequent malignancies in Western industrial nations.   view more (2007-10-10)

Are tumors causing stricture of bile duct always malignant?
The benign biliary tract tumor is rarely found in clinical practice. One case of bile duct adenomyoma was recently reported in the January 28 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology.   view more (2008-02-22)

Mayo researchers discover immune system blocker at work in kidney cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a new and deadly player in the most common form of kidney cancer. They've shown that the molecule B7-H4 helps renal cell carcinoma (RCC) grow and spread by blocking the immune system.   view more (2006-06-30)

U of T researchers reveal Epstein-Barr virus protein contributes to cancer
Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that the EBNA1 protein of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) disrupts structures in the nucleus of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, thereby interfering with cellular processes that normally prevent cancer development.   view more (2008-10-07)

Fatty fish consumption associated with lower risk of kidney cancer in women
Preliminary research suggests that higher consumption of fatty fish in women is linked with a lower risk of renal cell carcinoma, a common form of kidney cancer.   view more (2006-09-20)

Cost of waiting for gall bladder surgery is high
A significant amount of NHS money is being used to treat patients with recurrent gallstone problems while they await surgery, warn researchers in Postgraduate Medical Journal.   view more (2002-12-13)

Gender linked to development of skin cancer
Inherent gender differences - instead of more sun exposure - may be one reason why men are three times more likely than women to develop certain kinds of skin cancer, say researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center.   view more (2007-04-02)

Liver cancer marker could yield blood test for early detection
In the face of an emerging liver cancer crisis in Asia, researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a test that could help millions.   view more (2007-09-18)

Combined stenting and photodynamic therapy improves survival in late stage liver cancer patients
A combined therapeutic approach of stenting and photodynamic therapy may improve survival rates for patients suffering from advanced liver bile duct cancer, according to a study published this month in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the official journal of the American... view more (2008-03-12)

Common bacteria activating natural killer T cells may cause autoimmune liver disease
A bacteria commonly found in soil and water triggered autoimmune symptoms in mice similar to those found in an incurable liver disease called Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC).   view more (2008-05-15)

How to differentiate macro-regenerative nodules from hepato-carcinoma?
BA, the congenital absence or destruction of intra- or extra-hepatic biliary system, affects about 5 - 10/100 000 live births. End stage liver cirrhosis developed in some BA patients later in life.   view more (2008-10-13)

MRI finds breast cancer before it becomes dangerous
A study in the Lancet (vol. 370, 11 August 2007) could lead to a change of paradigm in the early diagnosis of breast cancer. It states that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is substantially more accurate than mammography in diagnosing very early stages of breast cancer.   view more (2007-08-13)

New study reports increased response to therapy with no added toxicity in treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer
In a study released today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists 37th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, researchers found the addition of thalidomide to topotecan for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer significantly increases the response to therapy and the duration of progression free... view more (2006-03-27)

Inflammatory biomarker helps identify progressive precancerous lesions in the lung
C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker for inflammation in the blood, can help to identify individuals whose abnormal precancerous lesions will advance closer to invasive lung cancer.   view more (2006-03-01)

Multicenter study nets new lung tumor-suppressor gene
Collaborating scientists in Boston and North Carolina have found that a particular gene can block key steps of the lung cancer process in mice.   view more (2007-08-06)

New study shows potential to treat or prevent viral cancers
A new study, presented at the SNM 55th Annual Meeting, shows that radioimmunotherapy (RIT) targeting viral antigens offers a novel option to treat-or even prevent-many viral cancers by targeting cancer cells expressing viral antigens or infected cells before they convert into malignancy.   view more (2008-06-17)

Rate of secondary cancers increases over years after treatment for childhood leukemia
Survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia have a significantly increased risk of secondary cancers developing over 30 years after leukemia treatment when compared to the general population.   view more (2007-03-21)

PET/CT planning beneficial for head and neck cancer patients
Using a combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography for radiation therapy treatment planning in head and neck carcinoma patients provides for excellent, local and regional disease control when compared to CT alone.   view more (2008-03-05)

Combining liver cancer treatments doubles survival rates, UVA researchers find
By combining the use of stents and photodynamic therapy, also called SpyGlass, physicians at the University of Virginia have been able to significantly increase survival rates for patients suffering from advanced cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of the liver bile duct.   view more (2008-04-16)

Pregnancy is possible after cancer treatment
It has been reported for the first time in Germany that healthy ovarian tissue has been taken from a non-pregnant woman with cancer and then re-implanted after cancer therapy.   view more (2008-04-24)

An analysis of the surgical and perioperative complications in right hepatectomies
Adult living related liver donors play an essential role in filling the gap of transplants needed due to a heavy shortage of cadaveric donations.   view more (2008-09-18)

Abnormal overexpression of p53 is a predictive molecular biomarker
A common laboratory test that predicted poor outcome from traditional radiation and chemotherapy treatment for head and neck cancers now has been found to predict a good prognosis with treatment of p53 tumor suppressor gene therapy-making it potentially the first predictive biomarker test for a... view more (2006-09-15)
