When Cancer Runs in the Family
Almost all tumor types have a genetically based form Most cancers occur sporadically. At least 5.5 percent of cancer cases are based on a genetic predisposition. These are usually identified because first-degree relatives develop the same type of tumor. So far, scientists have presumed that only a few types of tumor have such a familial form.... view more...

Heat therapy for cancer may be key to 'Lance Armstrong Effect'
Experts at Johns Hopkins have linked scientific evidence spanning more than 30 years to suggest an explanation for why testicular cancer patients like seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong survive far better than patients with other advanced cancers. view more (2006-07-26)
Cancer could return unless stored ovarian tissue undergoes adequate testing before re-implantation
Cancer patients who have been successfully treated for their disease face the prospect of its return if stored ovarian (or testicular) tissue is transplanted back into their bodies without adequate checks, according to researchers at two university hospitals in Israel. view more (2008-04-22)
