Cranberries may improve chemotherapy for ovarian cancer
Compounds in cranberries may help improve the effectiveness of platinum drugs that are used in chemotherapy to fight ovarian cancer, researchers have found in a laboratory study that will be reported today at the 234th national meeting of the American Chemical Society. view more (2007-08-22)
Grape-seed extract kills laboratory leukemia cells, proving value of natural compounds
An extract from grape seeds forces laboratory leukemia cells to commit cell suicide, according to researchers from the University of Kentucky. They found that within 24 hours, 76 percent of leukemia cells had died after being exposed to the extract. view more (2009-01-05)

Food With The Guts To Stand Up To Cancer
Cancers of the gut are one of the major causes of death from cancer, but a review published this week[1] shows that they are also amongst the most preventable through changes in diet. Of the 10 million new cases of cancer diagnosed in 2000, around 2.3 million were cancers of the digestive organs - pharynx, oesophagus, stomach or colorectum.... view more... (2004-07-22)

Giant tubeworms found near hydrothermal vents more than a mile below the ocean surface do not bother to eat: lacking mouth and stomach, they stand rooted to one spot. view more (2006-05-22)
Optimal band imaging with endoscopy facilitates the diagnosis of depressed-type early gastric cancer
A study from the Jichi Medical University in Japan shows that optimal band imaging used with an endoscope provided images that clearly identified depressed-type early gastric cancer without magnification in 96 percent of study participants. view more (2008-02-19)
PROSTATE CANCER SERIES (p 859)
A four-week series about prostate cancer-the third most common cancer in men worldwide, and the leading male cancer in Europe and North America-begins in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The first article, by Henrik Grönberg of Umea University, Sweden, assesses the epidemiology of prostate cancer, and examines the impact of genetic and... view more... (2003-03-05)
Researchers identify mechanism used by gene to promote metastasis in human cancer cells
Virginia Commonwealth University Institute of Molecular Medicine and VCU Massey Cancer Center researchers have discovered how a gene, melanoma differentiation associated gene-9/syntenin (mda-9/syntenin), interacts with an important signaling protein to promote metastasis in human melanoma cells, a discovery that could one day lead to the... view more...

UCLA researchers develop new nanomaterials to deliver anti-cancer drugs to cells
Researchers at UCLA have successfully manipulated nanomaterials to create a new drug-delivery system that promises to solve the challenge of the poor water solubility of today's most promising anticancer drugs and thereby increase their effectiveness. view more (2007-06-08)
Smoking reduces alcohol's effects, likely encouraging more drinking
It's no mystery that many drinkers smoke, and many smokers drink. What is novel is a recent finding among rodents that nicotine can reduce blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) at dosage levels that could be achieved by human smokers. This may lead to more drinking. view more (2006-07-25)
Prostate cancer: Watchful wait or vaccinate?
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a prostate cancer vaccine that prevented the development of cancer in 90 percent of young mice genetically predestined to develop the disease. view more (2008-02-04)

An over-the-counter medication used to treat heartburn and acid reflux also appears to help decrease the debilitating effects of chronic heart failure, preliminary research shows. view more (2006-09-26)
Major clinical study rejects cancer safety fears of most common heartburn treatment
Fears about the cancer causing effects of the second most prescribed group of drugs in the Western world have been put to rest, following the largest ever study into their use. view more (2009-09-10)
Photodynamic Therapy Is an Alternative to Removal of Esophagus
When you think of heartburn, you probably think of greasy food, not cancer. You may not know that chronic heartburn is linked to esophageal cancer. view more (2006-04-06)
Family history of breast cancer does not increase risk of womb cancer
A family history of breast cancer does not increase a woman`s chances of developing womb cancer, finds a 20-year study in the Journal of Medical Genetics. Cancers of the lining of the womb (endometrium) and breast share some of the same reproductive, hormonal, and lifestyle risk factors. The evidence for a genetic link between the two types of... view more... (2002-11-01)
Breast cancer drug receives FDA approval

Alcohol consumption habits may threaten GI health
Many studies have evaluated the risks and benefits of alcohol intake, with some concentrating on potential benefits while others focus on the risks of abuse. view more (2006-05-23)
Molecules might identify high-risk acute-leukemia patients
New research suggests that certain small molecules used by cells to control the proteins they make might also help doctors identify adult acute-leukemia patients who are likely to respond poorly to therapy. view more (2008-01-16)
PET accurately identifies esophageal cancer patients' positive responses to chemotherapy
Early metabolic imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) accurately identifies patients responding to chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, noted German researchers at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. view more (2007-06-04)
