Comparision of overall survival for non-small cell lung cancer patients
There's debate about the best treatment approach for patients with certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for about 80 percent of all lung cancers. View More (2010-06-01)
SUVmax provides valuable indicator of progression-free survival in stage I non-small cell lung cancer patients
SUVmax (Maximum Standardized Uptake Value) may be a significant and clinically independent marker to indicate progression-free survival in stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), according to research being presented at the 2013 Cancer Imaging and Radiation Therapy Symposium.

Survival matching should be used to allocate donated kidneys to transplant recipients
Providing kidney transplants to patients with the best probability of longer survival would reduce repeat transplant operations and improve life span after kidney transplant. View More (2011-03-18)
Letrozole following tamoxifen may benefit women with breast cancer
Switching to the drug letrozole following 5 years of treatment with tamoxifen reduces the risk of hormone-dependent breast cancer recurrence, but not overall survival, among postmenopausal women. View More (2005-09-07)

Other Illnesses, Body Weight Do Not Explain Racial Disparities in Colon Cancer Survival, UAB Researchers Say
A new study by University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) researchers shows that body-mass index (BMI) and co-existing medical conditions (co-morbidity) do not explain the decreased survival observed among African-Americans compared to Caucasians who also have colon cancer. View More (2009-11-24)
Study raises doubts about value of heart ultrasound before elective surgery
A new study has found no evidence that patients who had a heart ultrasound known as an echocardiogram before major surgery had improved survival rates one month or one year after their operation. View More (2011-08-19)
Low rainfall and extreme temperatures doubles risk of baby elephant deaths
Extremes of temperature and rainfall are affecting the survival of elephants working in timber camps in Myanmar and can double the risk of death in calves aged up to five, new research from the University of Sheffield has found. View More (2013-02-04)
Doctors conclude temsirolimus is effective new treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma
The results of a phase III, randomized clinical study involving patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma and poor prognostic features show temsirolimus improved overall survival when compared to the current treatment for this stage of disease. View More (2007-05-31)
Decreased survival for Puerto Rican women with 'triple-negative' breast cancer subtype
Puerto Rican women who had breast cancer that lacked estrogen and progesterone receptors and did not overexpress the HER2neu protein (triple-negative) had worse survival than those with other types of invasive breast cancer. View More (2010-10-04)
Associations linking weight to breast cancer survival vary by race/ethnicity
An extreme body mass index or high waist-to-hip ratio, both measures of body fat, increased risk for mortality among patients with breast cancer, but this association varied by race/ethnicity, according to recently presented data. View More (2012-10-29)
Small changes in hospital practice bring significant benefits to rectal cancer patients
Copenhagen, Denmark: Small but important changes in hospital practice during the treatment of rectal cancer can produce significant benefits to patients, according to research from Sweden. Professor Lars P'åhlman, a professor and consultant surgeon at the Department of Surgery at University Hospital Uppsala, Sweden, told delegates at ECCO12 - the European Cancer Conference, that five-year...

Poor prognosis linked to BRCA1 mutations - but may be improved by chemotherapy
Breast cancer patients have a lower chance of long-term survival if they carry an inherited mutation in the BRCA1 gene, according to research published in Breast Cancer Research this week. However, the poor prognosis associated with the mutated gene is mitigated by chemotherapy. The breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, were identified over eight years ago, but the best way of... View More (2003-10-20)
