How less can be more when treating some kidney cancers
A new Mayo Clinic study suggests that removing the entire kidney from younger patients with small kidney tumors may lead to decreased overall survival compared with an operation that removes the tumor but leaves the kidney intact. The study will be published in the February issue of the Journal of Urology. view more (2008-01-09)
Early disclosure: post-operative radiotherapy improves progression-free survival in prostate cancer
Immediate post-operative radiotherapy following surgery to remove the prostate results in improved progression-free survival for prostate cancer patients, according to the results of a study presented here today (Tuesday 26th October 2004) by Prof Michel Bolla of CHU de Grenoble, Grenoble, France, at the 23rd Meeting of the European Society for... view more...

Journal of the National Cancer Institute
Women with a relatively rare and aggressive form of breast cancer tend to be younger, have larger tumors, and have a poorer survival rate compared with women with the most common forms of the disease, reports a new study in the July 6 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2005-07-06)
Radiation preferred over surgery for patients with some stages of lung cancer
After an initial chemotherapy treatment, radiation may be a better choice than surgery for patients with stage IIIA non-small-cell lung cancer, according to a randomized controlled trial published in the March 21 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-03-21)
Older liver donors not associated with negative outcomes in transplant recipients with hepatitis C
Receiving a liver from a donor older than age 60 does not appear to be associated with transplant failure, death or recurrent disease in the next five years among transplant patients with the hepatitis C virus. view more (2008-07-22)
Survival of patients with lung failure depends on health of other organs
Doctors treating lung failure need to focus on the whole patient to improve the chance of patient survival. Research published on 9th July in Critical Care shows that the survival rate of patients admitted to hospital with lung failure alone is good, but diminishes if other vital organs fail. Hans Flaatten and colleagues carried out the 30-month... view more... (2003-07-07)
A mutation that causes resistence to chemotherapy treatment of lung cancer has been discovered
Lung cancer, mainly caused by tobacco and inhaling radon gas, is the most lethal cancer in the western world. In Spain alone this disease causes around 15,000 deaths each year. view more (1999-09-27)
Benefits Outweigh Burden Of Chemotherapy After Breast Cancer (P 277)
The benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer outweigh its side-effects, especially for younger women, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Previous randomised trials have shown that prolonged chemotherapy for breast cancer substantially reduces the risk of disease relapse and death compared with no... view more... (2001-07-25)
Standard treatment for lung cancer should be changed, say scientists
Embargoed: 09.00 hrs CET Tuesday 23 September 2003 Copenhagen, Denmark: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are more likely to survive if they have chemotherapy after surgery than if they have surgery alone, said a scientist at ECCO 12 The European Cancer Conference in Copenhagen today (Tuesday 23 September). Dr. Bengt Bergman, of the... view more... (2003-09-21)

From a health insurer's perspective, the most effective cancer treatment may also be the most cost-effective. view more (2006-11-08)
Study compares treatment options for patients with brain metastases
Adding whole-brain radiation therapy to highly-focused radiation therapy does not improve survival for patients with cancer and brain metastases, but it may reduce the likelihood of the recurrence of brain metastases. view more (2006-06-07)
Few young competitive athletes survive sudden cardiac arrest
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AED's) had surprisingly little effect on the survival rates for young athletes who experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). view more (2006-06-21)
Penn researchers find emotional well-being has no influence on cancer survival
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found that emotional well-being is not an independent factor affecting the prognosis of patients with head and neck cancers. view more (2007-10-22)
Caucasians are at higher risk of developing Ewing's sarcoma than other races
The largest analysis of its kind has found that Caucasians are much more likely than people in other racial/ethnic groups to develop a rare bone and soft tissue cancer called Ewing's sarcoma. view more (2009-06-22)
Detection of melanoma by dermatologists linked with earlier tumor stage, higher survival rates
Individuals whose melanoma is diagnosed by a dermatologist may be more likely to have early-stage cancer and to survive five years than those with melanoma diagnosed by a non-dermatologist, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-04-17)
Cancer patients' quality of life directly relates to their survival
Patients who feel better live longer, say Mayo Clinic researchers, working with the North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG), in study results released May 15 as part of the 44th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). view more (2008-05-16)
Survival rates appear lower for scalp and neck melanoma than for other sites
Individuals with melanoma on their scalp or neck appear less likely to survive for five or 10 years than those with melanoma at other sites, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Dermatology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-04-22)
Herceptin plus chemotherapy significantly increases disease-free survival in breast cancer
Combining the molecularly targeted therapy Herceptin with chemotherapy in women with early stage breast cancer significantly improves disease-free survival for patients with a specific genetic mutation that results in very aggressive disease. view more (2006-12-18)
Honey-bee products in cancer treatment and prevention
Natural honey-bee products such as propolis, royal jelly, caffeic acid, honey and venom may have applications in cancer treatment and prevention, say Croatian researchers in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture this month. view more (2004-12-02)
