Suicide Gene Combination Targets Breast Cancer
A new 'mix and match' cancer therapy is being unveiled at the British Endocrine Societies meeting in Birmingham today. view more (2000-03-07)
3-D radiation treatment planning reduces feeding-tube use
Although current surgical techniques and multi-modality treatment regimens allow organ preservation for a growing number of patients with head and neck cancers, remaining dependent on a feeding tube after treatment is a major problem for these patients. view more (2006-11-06)
Why prostate cancer patients fail hormone deprivation therapy
The hormone deprivation therapy that prostate cancer patients often take gives them only a temporary fix, with tumors usually regaining their hold within a couple of years. view more (2009-01-05)
Cholesterol-lowering drugs may help prevent stroke recurrence
People who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins after a stroke may be less likely to have another stroke later. view more (2009-05-26)
MRC Research Offers Hope of Treatment for People with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
A new approach which effectively patches over genetic defects offers hope of treatment to people with the terminal illness, Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This is the conclusion of research led by Dr Qi Long Lu and Professor Terence Partridge at the Medical Research Council's Clinical Sciences Centre. Most cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy are... view more... (2003-07-04)
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)
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)
"Suicide gene" injection shrinks cancer growth
Injectable "suicide gene" therapy may be a highly effective way of preventing colon cancer from spreading (metastasising), finds research in Gut. Human colon cancer carries a high risk of death because it is often not found in the early stages and readily spreads to the liver, but also the lungs and throughout the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). view more (2002-02-08)
Top anti-arthritis drugs cause skin disease (embargo changed)
Members of the second most important family of drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis can cause serious dermatological conditions in a quarter of patients under treatment, reveals a study published today in the journal Arthritis Research and Therapy. view more (2005-03-31)
Gene therapy 'turns off' mutation linked to Parkinson's disease
A group of Northwestern University researchers is developing a novel gene therapy aimed at selectively turning off one of the genes involved in the development of Parkinson's disease. view more (2006-01-19)
First gene therapy for heart failure offered at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia
Could injecting a gene into a patient with severe heart failure reverse their disabling and life-threatening condition? Physician-scientists are setting out to answer that question in a first-ever clinical trial of gene therapy to treat severe heart failure. view more (2008-06-19)
Statins, beta-blockers lessen heart attack risk, says Stanford-Kaiser study
or patients with undiagnosed heart disease, taking medications known as statins and beta-blockers may mean the difference between suffering a heart attack as a first symptom versus experiencing mild chest pain. view more (2006-02-21)
An effective target of biological therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma
It has been shown that constitutively activated STAT3 is detected in many HCC cell lines and tissues. This suggests that STAT3 is a promising molecular target for HCC gene therapy. view more (2009-06-15)
Best use of drug-eluting stents
Compared with bare metal stents, drug-eluting stents substantially reduce the risk of angiographic and clinical recurrence but do not affect mortality or the short term or long term risk of myocardial infarction. view more (2008-09-02)
Precision radiation therapy yields rare success for liver tumors
Shaped-beam radiation therapy is a promising treatment for life-threatening metastatic liver tumors, according to researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center who report an 88 percent success rate for controlling the lesions. view more (2005-10-20)
Intravenous gene therapy protects normal tissue of mice during whole-body radiation
Gene therapy administered intravenously could be used as an agent to protect vital organs and tissues from the effects of ionizing radiation in the event of large-scale exposure from a radiological or nuclear bomb. view more (2006-11-08)
Calculating gene and protein connections in a Parkinson's disease model
Researchers have created an algorithm that meshes existing data to produce a clearer step-by-step flow chart of how cells respond to stimuli. Using this new method, Whitehead Institute and Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists have analyzed alpha-synuclein toxicity to identify genes and pathways that can affect cell survival. Misfolded... view more... (2009-02-23)
PENTOXIFYLLINE BENEFICIAL FOR TREATING LEG ULCERS (p 1550)
Results of a systematic review in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the drug pentoxifylline could be effective in the treatment of leg ulcers, either in addition to compression therapy, or as sole treatment when compression therapy is not effective. Venous leg ulcers are associated with circulatory disorders and are common among people... view more... (2002-05-01)
Self-monitoring of blood glucose
Diabetes patients should always control their own blood sugar values if this leads to improvements in their treatment. view more (2009-09-29)
New image analysis techniques to monitor how breast tumours respond to drugs
New techniques that might allow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to be used to give doctors subtle information about a tumour’s physiology and how it reacts to drug therapy are being developed. view more (2001-12-18)
