CERN launches new cancer therapy initiative
The first meeting of a new European network for research in cancer therapy will be held at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on 12 and 13 February 2002. ENLIGHT* - the European Network for Research in Light Ion Therapy - aims to coordinate the development of a variety of projects at European facilities for "light ion... view more... (2002-02-08)
New radiotherapy regime benefits young women with breast cancer
Women under 35 years of age with breast cancer can have an almost 20% lower risk of their disease recurring if they are treated using a new radiotherapy regime. These were some of the results presented here today (Tuesday 26th October) by Prof Harry Bartelink and his colleagues at the 23rd Meeting of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology... view more...

Could vitamin D save us from radiation?
Radiological health expert Daniel Hayes, Ph.D., of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene suggests that a form of vitamin D could be one of our body's main protections against damage from low levels of radiation. view more (2008-11-10)
Miracle leaves that may help protect against liver damage
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berries are well known for their cholesterol busting properties, but scientists in India say that its leaves are also rich in anti-oxidants and may help ward off liver disease, according to new research due to be published in the Society of Chemical Industry's (SCI) Journal of the Science of Food and... view more...

Ultra-low-dose aspirin might decrease bleeding severity in portal hypertension
In rats with portal hypertension, ultra-low-dose aspirin has shown a normalizing effect of platelet-endothelial cell alterations and bleeding time. Further, this effect is mediated by Cyclooxygenase 2 inhibition. view more (2007-10-10)
Intravenous chemoradiation effective for inoperable head, neck cancer; easier for patients, doctors
Chemoradiation (radiation and chemotherapy given at the same time) given through a needle or tube inserted into a vein (intravenous) is as effective as treatment given directly to the tumor through a tube inserted into an artery (intra-arterial) for patients with inoperable head and neck cancer. view more (2006-11-07)
Long-term study shows low oxygen levels in prostate tumors can predict recurrence
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers have discovered that low-oxygen regions in prostate tumors can be used to predict a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, a marker of tumor recurrence in prostate cancer. view more (2009-05-18)
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)

Antioxidants could provide all-purpose radiation protection
Two common dietary molecules found in legumes and bran could protect DNA from the harmful effects of radiation, researchers from the University of Maryland report. Inositol and inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) protected both human skin cells and a skin cancer-prone mouse from exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, the damaging radiation found in... view more...

Coronary CTA costs less than standard of care for triaging women with acute chest pain
Non-invasive coronary CT angiography (CTA) is more cost-effective than current tests for diagnosing women with low risk of a heart attack who come to the emergency room with acute chest pain, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA. view more (2008-08-11)

Speed of PSA rise helps predict survival for prostate cancer patients
The clinical outcome for prostate cancer patients who have been treated with hormone therapy and radiation therapy can usually be determined by how rapidly their prostate specific antigen level rises following treatment. view more (2005-10-03)
Doctors investigating 'one stop shop' radiotherapy at time of surgery
A new radiotherapy technique that can be carried out at the time of surgery and avoids long drawn out sessions of treatment may prove better at preventing the cancer returning in the breast and also bring breast conservation surgery within the reach of women in developing countries. But, although intraoperative radiotherapy appears promising... view more... (2002-03-19)
Patients with lung cancer in Scotland continue to miss out on treatment
Patients with lung cancer in Scotland are not getting the treatment they need, shows a study in Thorax. Only around four out of 10 people eligible for curative treatment received it, and those under 60 were five times more likely to be aggressively treated than patients in their seventies. Over 4500 people are diagnosed with the disease every year... view more... (2001-02-14)

Treating four or more brain tumors in a single radiosurgery session resulted in improved survival compared to whole brain radiation therapy alone. view more (2005-10-19)
Twice daily imatinib could improve outcome for people with specific form of gastro-intestinal cancer (pp 1101, 1127)
Results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a single daily 400 mg dose of imatinib-known to be a first-choice treatment for gastro-intestinal stromal tumours (GIST)-is sufficient to induce a therapeutic response; a doubling of a daily dose can slightly improve progression-free survival for patients. view more (2004-09-22)
