Males with elevated levels of testosterone lead shorter lives but have more success siring offspring
Comparative studies have studied testosterone levels and related them to mating systems and aggression, but very few studies have attempted to relate testosterone to fitness, that is, the combination of lifetime reproductive success and survival, in the wild or experimentally. view more (2006-04-13)
Studies Suggest HIV Subtype More Deadly Than Others
Two studies led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that people infected with HIV in Thailand die from the disease significantly sooner than those with HIV living in other parts of the world. view more (2007-11-28)
Radical surgery best option for most ovarian cancer patients with cancer in diaphragm
In a retrospective study looking back at a decade of surgeries, Mayo Clinic Cancer Center researchers have determined that surgery to remove metastatic disease from the diaphragm, in conjunction with other procedures to remove the primary diseased tissue in ovarian cancer patients, significantly increases survival rates. view more (2005-10-13)
High-dose radiation improves lung cancer survival, U-M study finds
Higher doses of radiation combined with chemotherapy improve survival in patients with stage III lung cancer, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2009-04-09)
Insects cultivate 'antibiotic-producing bacteria' in their antennae
Bacteria live in, on and around us and other organisms with sometimes very beneficial results. For the first time scientists have shown that one species of insect deliberately cultivates bacteria in its antennae in order to protect their larvae from fungal attack. view more (2007-04-02)
Avantogen and Innovate announce ASCO abstracts
Avantogen Limited ("Avantogen", ASX:ACU), Sydney, Australia and San Diego, CA, and Innovate Oncology, Inc ("Innovate"; IOVO:OTCBB), New York, today announced that 2 abstracts reporting on the evaluation of the use of RP101 in the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer. view more (2006-06-12)
Scientists identify cause of life threatening pregnancy complication
New work shows how the developing placenta may cause the potentially fatal condition pre-eclampsia to develop through attempts to take over the mother's metabolism for the survival of the foetus. Pre-eclampsia can strike up to 10% (around 75,000) of pregnancies each year. This condition strikes in the second half of pregnancy, developing rapidly... view more... (2003-10-31)
High risk of breast cancer associated with genetic variation in leptin and its receptor
Individuals with either of two genetic variations that lead to high serum levels of the cytokine leptin and to overexpression of leptin in fatty tissue, are more at risk of developing breast cancer than others. view more (2006-02-21)
Multivisceral transplant survival rates improve with new treatment, says Pittsburgh study
Data from the largest single-center experience of adult and pediatric intestinal and multivisceral transplantation show that survival rates have improved with the advent of innovative surgical techniques, novel immunosuppressive protocols and better post-operative management. view more (2009-10-06)
Heart transplant from organ donor with hepatitis C associated with decreased survival
Heart transplant patients who receive a donor heart from a person with hepatitis C have a lower rate of survival. view more (2006-10-18)
Experimental chemotherapy regimen shows promise in treating advanced lung cancer
A combination of chemotherapy agents that have been tested in other tumor types appears to be a promising alternative to standard treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, according to a report in the August 15 issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2008-08-12)
New Genetic Screening Method Predicts Behaviour Of Wilms' Tumour In Children (p 385)
Researchers in this week's issue of The Lancet have developed a new method that can accurately predict how tumours will behave by the genes they express. Dr Kathy Pritchard-Jones and her colleagues, from the Institute of Cancer Research, UK, studied children who had the commonest form of Wilms' tumour with favourable histology. Overall, these... view more... (2002-07-31)
A new molecular marker of gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world with a high incidence and death rate. TNM staging system is used worldwide to predict prognosis and direct therapeutic decisions of patients with GC. view more (2009-03-31)
OHSU researchers: Surgery, radiation gives early survival advantage in bile duct cancer
Oregon Health & Science University researchers are reporting the discovery of an early survival advantage when a combination of surgery and radiation therapy is used for patients with a rare but deadly bile duct cancer. view more (2007-10-29)
Study concludes no racial disparities in long-term outcomes in recipients of liver transplants
New research published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows long-term survival and liver rejection rates are equivalent for African-American liver transplant patients as compared with patients of other races. view more (2008-05-20)
Surgery reduces mortality in prostate cancer but does not not influence quality of life or overall survival
Two large Scandinavian studies evaluating the long-term effect of prostate cancer treatment are published in The New England Journal of Medicine this week. In the first study, 695 men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer were randomised assigned to radical prostatectomy or watchful waiting. The result shows that radical prostatectomy significantly... view more... (2002-09-11)
Two Proteins May Be Survival Markers in Some Breast Cancers
New research suggests that the presence or absence of two proteins may be important markers for long-term survival in some breast-cancer patients. view more (2007-11-14)
Chemotherapy appears to delay cancer recurrence following surgery for pancreatic cancer
Use of the drug gemcitabine for chemotherapy significantly delays the recurrence of cancer, compared to no chemotherapy, for patients following pancreatic cancer surgery. view more (2007-01-17)
Combining liver cancer treatments doubles survival rates, UVA researchers find
By combining the use of stents and photodynamic therapy, also called SpyGlass, physicians at the University of Virginia have been able to significantly increase survival rates for patients suffering from advanced cholangiocarcinoma, cancer of the liver bile duct. view more (2008-04-16)
Supplemental radiation therapy beneficial for stage I endometrial cancer
Women with stage I endometrial cancer (with grade 1 and grades 3 and 4 disease) who receive radiation therapy in addition to other treatment have improved survival rates, according to a study in the January 25 issue of JAMA. view more (2006-01-25)
