Researchers identify cell pathway in colon cancer
For the one in 18 men and women who will be diagnosed with cancer of the colon and rectum during their lifetime and over 150,000 people diagnosed on a yearly basis, today's genetic research news offers some optimism. view more (2007-02-20)
Study Examines Role of Helicobacter Pylori in Esophageal Cancer Development
Infection with bacteria that can cause peptic ulcers and distal stomach cancer may be associated with a reduced risk of a type of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma, according to a study in the March 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, that same study found that people infected with the bacteria, called... view more... (2004-03-03)
Chronic fatigue syndrome linked to stomach virus
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME (myalgic encephalitis), is linked to a stomach virus, suggests research published ahead of print in Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2007-09-14)
Early treatment of stomach infection may prevent cancer
Based on research using a new mouse model of gastritis and stomach cancer, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say that prompt treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections reverses damage to the lining of the stomach that can lead to cancer. view more (2008-05-01)
New European cancer figures for 2004 - cancer experts say major efforts needed against the big four killers
There were nearly 2.9 million new cases of cancer and more than 1.7 million cancer deaths in Europe last year, according to new estimates in a report published today (Thursday 17 February) in Annals of Oncology [1]. The authors warn that the ageing of the European population means that these figures will continue to rise, even if incidence and... view more... (2005-02-14)
Antidepressants and painkillers - a dangerous combination
Taking antidepressants together with painkillers can substantially increase the risk of bleeding from the stomach, according to new research by the University of East Anglia. view more (2007-10-09)
Stomach stem cell discovery could bring cancer insights
Scientists have identified and described stem cells specific to several tissues and organs of the body - key master cells that give rise to the specialized cell types characteristic of that organ. view more (2007-10-04)
Non-invasive diagnostic tools for assessment of function and structure of the stomach mucosa
Risks for gastric cancer or peptic ulcer diseases are low in subjects with healthy stomach mucosa but are remarkably high in those with "diseased" stomach mucosa: i.e., in those with H pylori gastritis or atrophic gastritis. view more (2009-02-23)
Stomach receptor for H. pylori discovered
Scientists have determined that decay-accelerating factor (DAF), a protein found in epithelial cells in the stomach, acts as a receptor for the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. view more (2006-05-05)
Stomach ulcer bug causes bad breath
Bacteria that cause stomach ulcers and cancer could also be giving us bad breath, according to research published in the December issue of the Journal of Medical Microbiology. view more (2008-11-24)
Testing your reflexes until you've had enough
Can't squeeze in another mouthful? Feeling full is all a question of reflexes, according to Leeds biomedical researcher Dr David Lewis. He hopes to open the way for new therapies to treat obesity, by looking at how, why and when our brain tells our stomach it's had enough. The basic reflexes controlling eating are centred in the hindbrain - the... view more... (2002-05-20)
To avoid stomach upset in arthritis patients, drug combination more effective
UCLA/VA researchers found that for arthritis patients, taking a combination of two drugs may be most effective in protecting against stomach upset called dyspepsia, which is a side effect of common pain medications. view more (2006-05-02)
Positioning pelvic cancer patients on stomachs for radiation yields better results
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that positioning pelvic cancer patients on their stomachs rather than their backs is a better method for delivering radiation therapy. view more (2007-10-29)
How to treat gastroesophageal adenocarcinom patients?
Gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas have a poor prognosis. However, numerous randomized clinical trials (RCT) have evaluated, and continue to evaluate, the survival benefit of various treatment regimens. view more (2008-09-18)
Holiday season could ring in 'heartburn season'
Making merry is often synonymous with overindulging - whether from holiday feasts or rich desserts or alcoholic beverages - ringing in the holiday season as "heartburn season." view more (2006-11-16)
New report estimates 12 million cancer cases worldwide
A new American Cancer Society report estimates that there will be over 12 million new cancer cases and 7.6 million cancer deaths (about 20,000 cancer deaths a day) worldwide in 2007. view more (2007-12-18)
Popular stomach acid reducer triples risk of developing pneumonia
A popular stomach-acid reducer used to prevent stress ulcers in critically ill patients needing breathing machine support increases the risk of those patients contracting pneumonia threefold, according to researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. view more (2009-09-14)
Salt increases ulcer-bug virulence
Scientists have identified yet another risk from a high-salt diet. High concentrations of salt in the stomach appear to induce gene activity in the ulcer-causing bacterium Helicobacter pylori, making it more virulent and increasing the likelihood of an infected person developing a severe gastric disease. view more (2007-05-23)
Bacterium that may cause cancer is identified
A University of Sheffield scientist has isolated a bacterium that may cause cancers in those with a genetic pre-disposition to the disease. Dr Milton Wainwright, of the University's Molecular Biology and Biotechnology department, researched historical literature and found that, as early as the 1890s, bacteria were believed to cause cancer.... view more...

Cancer in Sweden--three national studies show the importance of where people grow up
Scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, have compared the incidence of cancer in first- and second-generation immigrants in Sweden. The results clearly indicate that life-style factors during childhood and adolescence have a decisive impact on the risk of contracting cancer later in life. The findings are presented in three scientific... view more... (2002-04-24)
