Why men don’t talk about cancer
Men don’t talk to their sons about cancer, nor do they talk to siblings. This is not about being inhibited or unable to talk about sensitive issues as the stereotype might suggest. Recent evidence suggests that men are ‘silent’ as a result of a respect for the need for... view more (2001-03-26)

Bladder problems increase in men as they age, Mayo Clinic study reports
Mayo Clinic researchers studying prostate problems in men report in the current issue of the Journal of Urology that as men grow older their bladder function can worsen and the prostate gland may be responsible.   view more (2005-10-26)

New human retrovirus originated in mice
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers and their colleagues have discovered a new retrovirus in humans that is closely related to a cancer-causing virus found in mice.   view more (2006-03-31)

Model for cancer cure
The outcome for some cancer patients can now be predicted much earlier by making the right choice of treatment based on a mathematical model rather than the current life-table method, which has been in use for over 20 years, according to research published today in the Institute of Physics Journal... view more (2002-10-23)

Mayo clinic finds aspirin, other NSAIDs, may prevent or delay enlarged prostate
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen may prevent or delay benign prostatic hyperplasia, an enlarged prostate which can cause urinary symptoms in men as they age such as frequent urination, trouble starting... view more (2006-08-30)

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)

Variation in CHEK2 gene may triple breast cancer risk
A study of more than 9,000 Danish residents shows that a specific variation in the CHEK2 gene may triple a woman's risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime.   view more (2006-08-01)

New Cancer Gene Discovered
Researchers at the OU Cancer Institute have identified a new gene that causes cancer. The ground-breaking research appears Monday in Nature's cancer journal Oncogene.   view more (2008-05-09)

Promising advance in breast cancer research
Two new drugs, when combined, killed up to 75 percent of breast cancer tumor cells in mice and suppressed the regrowth of tumors, according to researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center.   view more (2005-11-15)

Researchers identify gene as protector of DNA, enemy of tumors
A single gene plays a pivotal role launching two DNA damage detection and repair pathways in the human genome, suggesting that it functions as a previously unidentified tumor suppressor gene.   view more (2006-08-07)

Cancer treatment is first to directly target tumor blood vessels in patients
A clinical trial has for the first time proven that an antibody called J591 specifically targets an antigen found in high amounts on both prostate tumors and on blood vessels of all solid tumors, according to a study by medical researchers at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical... view more (2007-03-05)

Cancer support cells may evolve, fuel tumor growth, study shows
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill scientists have demonstrated in a living organism that cancers may cause surrounding supportive cells to evolve and ultimately promote cancer growth.   view more (2005-12-19)

Cancer Survival Rates Higher Than Previously Assumed
Conventional estimates for life expectancy after cancer diagnosis have been too pessimistic, suggests a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There are two main ways of quantifying survival estimates after cancer diagnosis. The conventional method, known as the cohort method, is based on the... view more (2002-10-09)

Firefighters face increased risk for certain cancers
University of Cincinnati (UC) environmental health researchers have determined that firefighters are significantly more likely to develop four different types of cancer than workers in other fields.   view more (2006-11-10)

New study suggests mechanism of action for botox in the treatment of enlarged prostate
Botox appears to alter specific cellular processes that contribute to prostate enlargement according to new study results presented by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan at the International Continence Society annual meeting in Montreal.   view more (2005-09-01)

Largest study to date reveals baseline findings for flexible sigmoidoscopy
The largest study to date on the early detection of colorectal cancer offers benchmark data for what could be expected from large-scale use of flexible sigmoidoscopy as a screening tool for colorectal cancer.   view more (2005-07-06)

Racial disparities decline for cancer in Missouri
Cancer death rates in the United States are highest among African Americans, but a new report shows that in Missouri the disparity in cancer incidence and death between African Americans and whites is declining.   view more (2008-09-24)

When couples face the diagnosis of cancer, women carry a larger emotional burden than men
In a couple where one of the partners is diagnosed with cancer, women are more consistently and severely distressed than men, regardless of whether they are the person with the disease or the healthy partner.   view more (2008-03-03)

Obesity, inactivity as common among cancer survivors as rest of Canadians, study shows
New research supported by the Canadian Cancer Society shows that many cancer survivors in Canada are overweight and inactive, which could put them at risk for health problems, including their cancer returning.   view more (2008-04-21)

Urologic diseases cost Americans $11B a year
Bladder, prostate and other urinary tract diseases cost Americans nearly $11 billion a year, according to a new report from the National Institutes of Health. Medicare's share exceeded $5.4 billion.   view more (2007-05-01)

Novel mechanism of taxane resistance
Research Associate Chih-Jian Lih and others working in the laboratory of Dr. Stanley N. Cohen at Stanford University have pinpointed a gene that affects human cancer cells' sensitivity to chemotherapy-an important finding in the effort to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy.   view more (2006-07-17)

Scientists find one reason why bladder cancer hits more men
Scientists have discovered one of the reasons why bladder cancer is so much more prevalent in men than women: A molecular receptor or protein that is much more active in men than women plays a role in the development of the disease. The finding could open the door to new types of treatment with the... view more (2007-04-23)

UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH LEADS MAJOR RESEARCH PROJECT
The University of Plymouth is co-ordinating a two-year, £500,000 European research project that could lead to significant improvements in food safety standards and ensure healthier citizens. The project will investigate the use of selenium and the presence of arsenic in our diet. Involving 20... view more (2001-11-21)

Synthetic molecules hold promise for new family of anti-cancer drugs
