First step towards a non-invasive screening test for early signs of testicular cancer
Researchers in Denmark have discovered a way to detect early signs of testicular cancer before it has started to spread. Their findings are the first step towards developing a simple screening test for men at risk of the disease. view more (2005-02-28)
Women with breast cancer five times as likely to have pesticide (DDT) residues in their blood
Women with breast cancer are five times as likely to have pesticide residues in their blood of organochlorines (DDT), which contain oestrogens, reveals a study of 159 women in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The possibility of such a link has attracted controversy, admit the authors, but say that their new study adds to the growing body... view more... (2003-04-23)
Many cancer patients receive insufficient pain management therapy
Pain is one of the most common symptoms of cancer patients, yet many of them do not receive adequate therapy for the pain caused by their disease or treatments, according to a study in the September 1 issue of the International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, the official journal of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and... view more...

Imaging technology points to small molecules that can fight treatment-resistant tumors
Using a newly developed drug screen, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered small molecule compounds that are able to perform the functions of a gene commonly mutated in many types of cancer. view more (2006-07-12)
An excellent response to BNCT treatment in head and neck cancer
A Finnish research group has been the first in the world to publish an article in which BNCT treatment has had an excellent response in a patient with head and neck cancer for whom there was no other treatment available. The case report has been published in the June issue of the prestigious Radiotherapy and Oncology no. 72 (2004) pp. 83 - 84. view more (2004-09-14)
Vaccine shows promise for kidney cancer (pp 583, 594)
Results of a phase III study from Germany in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a tumour-based vaccine could reduce disease recurrence and increase survival of patients who have had surgery for kidney cancer. 3% of cancer occurs in the kidney, with around 12,000 renal-cancer deaths a year in the USA. Removal of part or all of the kidney... view more... (2004-02-18)

Scientists report the first live births in large mammals after using frozen ovarian tissue
Lausanne, Switzerland: French scientists have succeeded in using previously frozen ovarian tissue to produce live offspring in large mammals for the first time. The team, led by Professor Bruno Salle and Dr Jacqueline Lornage of the Departement de Médecine de la Reproduction at the Hôpital Edouard Herriot in Lyon, reported that from... view more...

Presentation of the "Document on the Freezing of Oocytes for Human Reproduction"
The Observatory of Bioethics and Law has made public its latest "Document on the Freezing of Oocytes for Human Reproduction", which upholds the authorisation of the cryopreservation of oocytes for use in assisted reproduction. The Document was drawn up by the Opinion Group of the Observatory of Bioethics and Law of the University of... view more... (2002-05-07)
Integrated approach to IMRT provides quality care for head and neck cancer patients
Results from a University of Pittsburgh study demonstrate that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer can be uniformly delivered in a large health care system of academic and community cancer centers through a centralized planning and treatment process. view more (2007-10-29)
Diamond detectors - The Physics Congress 2002
Diamond has an extremely high resilience to radiation - three orders of magnitude higher than silicon - making it an ideal material for detectors that monitor radioactive emissions inside the hostile environments found in nuclear energy plants. But because of the high price of real diamond, synthetic diamond is needed. The latest developments in... view more... (2002-04-02)
Laparoscopy For Colon Cancer Could Offer Long-term Survival Benefit Over Conventional Surgery
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that laparoscopy-assisted surgery to treat colon cancer could be more favourable than conventional open surgery, with the potential to reduce operative complications, hospital stay, and increase cancer-related survival in the longer term. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of... view more... (2002-06-26)
New treatment in sight for ovarian cancer
In the future, women with metastatic ovarian cancer could be treated with a radioactive substance that can seek and destroy tumour cells. view more (2009-08-31)
New study shows way to avoid overtreatment in breast cancer
The numbers of women who receive adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer could be reduced by 30 to 40% if the results of a new molecular study are put into practice. Dr Laura van 't Veer from the Netherlands Cancer Institute told the news briefing that micro array technology* can help predict which breast cancers will metastasise (spread) and... view more...
