Cancer stem cells linked to radiation resistance
Certain types of brain cancer cells, called cancer stem cells, help brain tumors to buffer themselves against radiation treatment by activating a "repair switch" that enables them to continue to grow unchecked. view more (2006-10-19)
Chemo-radiation before prostate removal may prevent cancer recurrence
Researchers in the Oregon Health & Science University Knight Cancer Institute and the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center have found a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy given before prostate removal is safe and may have the potential to reduce cancer recurrence and improve patient survival. view more (2009-11-05)
Fox Chase researchers identify differences in treatments and outcomes of patients with second primary lung cancers versus those with one primary lung cancer
Patients with second primary lung cancers (SPLC), when compared to those with one primary lung cancer (OPLC), are more likely to have localized disease at the time of diagnosis and are more likely to receive surgical treatment rather than radiation treatment. view more (2009-08-03)
OHSU researchers: Surgery, radiation gives early survival advantage in bile duct cancer
Oregon Health & Science University researchers are reporting the discovery of an early survival advantage when a combination of surgery and radiation therapy is used for patients with a rare but deadly bile duct cancer. view more (2007-10-29)
Model predicts risk of breast cancer for young women treated for Hodgkin lymphoma
Young women who are treated for Hodgkin lymphoma with chest radiation therapy have a high cumulative absolute risk of developing breast cancer later in life. view more (2005-10-05)
Treatment for early prostate cancer associated with type of specialist seen
A new study analyzing men with localized prostate cancer shows that the specialty of the physician they see can influence the type of therapy they ultimately receive. view more (2007-06-04)
Doctors able to predict chance of breast cancer returning
Doctors have created a first-ever computer tool to predict the risk of breast cancer returning in the same breast over a 10-year period in women who have had breast conserving surgery to remove only the cancer (lumpectomy). view more (2006-11-07)
Breast cancer patients may benefit from new accelerated treatment
Women with early-stage breast cancer may benefit from a new, accelerated approach to radiation therapy making their course of treatment shorter. view more (2006-11-01)
Breast conservation a good option for non-invasive, 'early' breast cancer, U-M study shows
For women diagnosed with a type of non-invasive breast cancer, removing the breast is not the only treatment option. view more (2006-05-08)
Delays in Radiation Therapy Lead to Increased Breast Cancer Recurrence
A new analysis of the National Cancer Institute's cancer registry has found that as many as one in five older women experience delayed or incomplete radiation treatment following breast-conserving surgery, and that this suboptimal care can lead to worse outcomes. view more (2008-12-02)
Walking prevents bone loss caused from prostate cancer treatment
Exercise may reduce, and even reverse, bone loss caused by hormone and radiation therapies used in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, thereby decreasing the potential risk of bone fractures and improving quality of life for these men. view more (2007-10-29)
Henry Ford Hospital expands research on gene and radiation therapy for prostate cancer
Henry Ford Hospital is embarking on an expanded major clinical trial involving the use of gene therapy in combination with radiation therapy, to determine if the combined treatment is more effective than radiation therapy alone for patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer. view more (2008-02-07)
Should older men be screened for prostate cancer?
Screening for prostate cancer in older men has been problematic. While this form of cancer can be fatal, it often progresses so slowly that men are more likely to die from some other disease. Aggressive treatments such as radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy may eradicate the cancer but have negativ view more (2006-05-02)
University Scientists Will Not See the Eclipse...At Least, Not With Their Eyes!
The sun constantly radiates energy across the spectrum of frequencies from radio, through heat, to visible light and beyond. During the period of totality, only radiation present in the sun's annular corona will be detectable, with energy directly radiated from the sun being masked by the moon. view more (1999-08-06)
Patients regain cognitive function after radiation for brain tumors
Patients who suffer from low-grade brain tumors are able to regain normal cognitive function after receiving radiation therapy to shrink their tumor. view more (2005-11-16)
Doctors able to predict recurrence of high-risk breast cancers
International researchers have developed a prediction model to assist doctors in determining the chance of recurrence of cancer in high-risk breast cancer patients who have undergone a mastectomy followed by radiation therapy. view more (2006-04-03)
Lithium may help radiation target cancer, spare healthy tissue
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators have uncovered a mechanism that helps explain how lithium, a drug widely used to treat bipolar mood disorder, also protects the brain from damage that occurs during radiation treatments. view more (2009-05-05)
OHSU Cancer Institute researchers study breathing during radiation
Oregon Health & Science University researchers have determined exactly how much breathing affects prostate movement during radiation treatment. view more (2008-09-24)
Perform non-radiation ERCP during pregnancy: Is it safe?
Hormonal changes during pregnancy increase the lithogenicity of bile and impair gallbladder emptying, which create a favorable environment for gallstone formation. view more (2009-08-12)
Hormone therapy before radiation seed implants for prostate cancer
Men over 70 years of age with early-stage prostate cancer have 20 percent higher mortality if they are treated first with hormone therapy before being treated with radiation seed implants (brachytherapy), compared to men who are treated with brachytherapy alone. view more (2008-09-23)
