A long-term survival offered by resection of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas?
The article published in volume 14 issue 6 of World Journal of Gastroenterology reports on one patient who presented to Dr Cosimo Sperti of University of Padua, Padova, Italy, in 2001 after an exploratory laparotomy performed in another hospital for an unresectable pancreatic cystic mass that had... view more (2008-03-13)

U of M researchers discover compounds to shrink tumors
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have developed novel anti-cancer drugs to treat solid tumors. These "small molecules" belong to a class of pharmaceutical agents called anti-angiogenics.   view more (2006-07-06)

Tumor size related to lung cancer spread
Smaller tumors in the lungs appear to be less likely to have spread than larger tumors among patients with asymptomatic lung cancer, suggesting that early screening may be useful in detecting cancers that are still curable.   view more (2006-02-14)

VEGF Trap shows activity in patients with advanced ovarian cancer
Preliminary results of a randomized, international Phase II trial of VEGF Trap (aflibercept) show activity in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who had received three or four prior chemotherapy regimens and had become resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy agents.   view more (2007-06-04)

Received Truth Turned On End In Cancer Research
It has long been the accepted view of cancer researchers that there is a difference between the mechanism behind the development of leukemias, on the one hand, and solid tumors like breast cancer, prostate cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, etc, on the other. A research team at the Section for... view more (2004-04-06)

Tumor cells evade death through autophagy
Autophagy is a cellular process that enables cells to turnover their contents, something that they do frequently. Autophagy is initiated in tumor cells by chemotherapy and radiation, but it is not known if this contributes to tumor cell death or helps tumor cells survive the anti-cancer therapy.   view more (2007-01-19)

Beijing Genomics Institute adds AB SOLiD system to its next generation sequencing technologies
The Beijing Genomics Institute announced today that BGI has added Applied Biosystems SOLiD System to BGI's rapidly expanding next-generation sequencing technologies.   view more (2008-04-21)

Study examines association between type of genetic characteristics and cancer
Persons with a certain type of homozygosity (having two identical copies of the same gene, one inherited from each parent), may have a greater predisposition to cancer, according to a study in the March 26 issue of JAMA.   view more (2008-03-26)

Tumor-targeting viral therapy slows neuroblastoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors
Researchers in a multi-institutional study led by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center slowed the growth of two particularly stubborn solid tumor cancers - neuroblastoma and peripheral nerve sheath tumors -without harming healthy tissues by inserting instructions to inhibit tissue growth... view more (2008-02-15)

Combination therapy reduces tumor resistance to radiation
Radiation is used to treat a variety of tumors and the response of tumors to radiation is dependent on endothelial cell death, which in turn limits oxygen delivery to the tumor, causing hypoxia and tumor cell death.   view more (2007-06-08)

Oncoproteins double-team and destroy vital tumor-suppressor
Two previously unconnected cancer-promoting proteins team up to ambush a critical tumor suppressor by evicting it from the cell's nucleus and then marking it for death by a protein-shredding mechanism, a team led by scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports in the... view more (2008-02-15)

Researchers find stem-cell therapy effective in targeting metastatic cancer
Patients with advanced cancer that has spread to many different sites often do not have many treatment options, since they would be unable to tolerate the doses of treatment they would need to kill the tumors.   view more (2006-12-21)

Minimally invasive solid tumor biopsy may replace surgery to get diagnostic specimens
Inserting biopsy needles through the skin appears to be a safe and reliable alternative to surgery for obtaining diagnostic samples of a suspected solid tumor in children, according to results of a study by investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.   view more (2005-07-25)

New insights about what GIST tumors can be treated with medication
The fatal soft-part tumor GIST has only recently become treatable by medication. In further studies, a research team at The Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University has now been able to determine what factors steer the prognosis and have therefore been able to show which patients should be... view more (2003-05-28)

New materials for high efficiency organic solid state lighting
A new organic molecule developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists may significantly improve the efficiency of organic solid state lighting. Direct conversion of electricity to light in "solid state" thin films of organic molecules occurs in organic light emitting... view more (2006-03-30)

WT1, male fertility and tumorigenesis
Detailed in an upcoming report in G&D, Dr. Miles Wilkinson and colleagues use a new tissue-specific RNAi approach they developed to identify a novel postnatal role for the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) tumor suppressor in spermatogenesis.   view more (2006-01-16)

A novel mechanism of action for anti-tumor agent, CA4P
Anti-angiogenic agents have been successful in the clinic for blocking the growth of solid tumors. However, these agents used in combination with chemotherapy have improved the survival of patients with cancers by only several months.   view more (2005-10-07)

Bird fall-out measures radioactive fall-out
Jim Clapp (University of Ulster) will reveal how bird droppings can be used to measure radioactive fall-out in the environment. Solid urate spheres found in bird excretions can be screened for man-made pollutants such as radioactive caesium, providing a new non-invasive way to monitor the... view more (2004-03-30)

A genetic factor predicts prognosis in brain tumor patients
PLoS ONE has just published a study which defines a gene locus on chromosome 1 that predicts prognosis of brain tumor patients and may even set the basis for the development of more efficient drugs to combat brain cancer.   view more (2007-06-28)

New target for cancer therapy may improve treatment for solid tumors
Targeting and killing the non-malignant cells that surround and support a cancer can stop tumor growth in mice, reports a research team based at the University of Chicago Medical Center in the March 1, 2008, issue of the journal Cancer Research. The discovery offers a new approach to treating... view more (2008-03-04)

Green light for two new programmes : Vega Small Launcher and P80 Advanced Solid Booster
The Vega Small Launcher Development programme and the P80 Advanced Solid Propulsion Stage Demonstrator programme were formally approved on 15 December by the participating States. Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland (Spain~s decision still pending) have decided to proceed with... view more (2000-12-19)

The dance of crystal structures
The word "crystal" is a technical term; iron and steel, for example, are crystals whereas glass is not. In fact, "crystal" means materials of a crystalline structure.   view more (2004-11-10)

Role of autophagy in tumorigenesis
In the June 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Eileen White and colleagues at Rutgers University/University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Cancer Institute of New Jersey, report, for the first time, that the cellular self-digesting process of autophagy can protect genome integrity - lending new... view more (2007-05-18)

Therapeutic peptide frees the protein p73 to kill tumor cells
The protein p53 suppresses tumor development by potently inducing tumor cell death, making it an obvious target for anticancer therapeutics.   view more (2007-03-09)

St. Jude study offers new hope for children with kidney tumors deemed inoperable
Physicians at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have demonstrated that children with bilateral Wilms tumor, a cancer of the kidneys, can retain normal function in both kidneys by undergoing a procedure called bilateral nephron-sparing surgery, even when preoperative scans suggest that the... view more (2008-03-25)
