A gene radiotherapy system that detects and treats cancer cells that are resistant to traditional forms of chemotherapy and radiation showed success in the laboratory and could eventually prove beneficial for cancer patients, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting.   view more (2008-06-17)

Study demonstrates that lung cancer susceptibility runs in families
Studying thousands of people, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have documented a 25 percent increased risk of developing one of a number of cancers in first-degree relatives of lung cancer patients who have never smoked compared to families of people who neither... view more (2006-04-03)

Inhibitor of novel cancer target, LPAAT-beta, demonstrates selective anti-cancer effects in animal cancer models
Frankfurt, Germany: In a plenary session at the Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics, Dr Jack W. Singer, M.D. and Research Program Chairman of Cell Therapeutics, Inc.

Increase in thyroid cancer in US attributed to improved early detection
Although the incidence of thyroid cancer has more than doubled in the past 30 years, the rise is being attributed to improved diagnostic techniques of previously undetected disease, rather than a true increase in the occurrence of thyroid cancer.   view more (2006-05-10)

Scientists develop new, molecular approach to early cancer detection
Scientists have pioneered a new approach to detecting cancer cells, one that could eventually allow doctors to discover many malignancies earlier than currently possible.   view more (2006-07-28)

New Evidence Linking High-fibre Diet With Reduced Risk Of Colon Cancer (pp 1487, 1491, 1496)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence that a high-fibre diet contributes to a substantial lowering in the risk of colon cancer. This has previously been a controversial area of research, as some recent studies have suggested no association between increased fibre intake... view more (2003-04-30)

Targeted drug delivery achieved with nanoparticle-aptamer bioconjugates
Ground-breaking results from researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, disclosed at the 13th European Cancer Conference (ECCO) have shown for the first time that targeted drug delivery is possible using nanoparticle-apatamer conjugates.   view more (2005-11-02)

New Understanding Of Role Of Breast Cancer Gene In Normal Function And Disease
Researchers at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cancer Cell Unit, Cambridge have gained an important new insight into the role of the breast cancer gene known as BRCA2. It appears to have a key function in cell division which needs to happen accurately for normal cell reproduction and repair,... view more (2004-10-28)

When Cancer Runs in the Family
Almost all tumor types have a genetically based form Most cancers occur sporadically. At least 5.5 percent of cancer cases are based on a genetic predisposition. These are usually identified because first-degree relatives develop the same type of tumor. So far, scientists have presumed that only a... view more (2004-02-09)
