Injection may prevent infertility in men receiving cancer chemotherapy
It may be possible to protect the testes of cancer patients against the loss of fertility caused by chemotherapy, a scientist told the 22nd annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Prague, Czech Republic.   view more (2006-06-21)

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... view more (2004-02-09)

Fatherhood possible for many testicular cancer survivors, study finds
The overall rate of fatherhood after treatment for testicular cancer is high, but the ability to conceive and the time to conception are influenced by the type and intensity of treatment.   view more (2005-11-02)

First step towards a non-invasive screening test for early signs of testicular cancer
Researchers in Denmark have discovered a way to detect early signs of testicular cancer before it has started to spread. Their findings are the first step towards developing a simple screening test for men at risk of the disease.   view more (2005-02-28)

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)

Why men don’t talk about cancer
Men don’t talk to their sons about cancer, nor do they talk to siblings. This is not about being inhibited or unable to talk about sensitive issues as the stereotype might suggest. Recent evidence suggests that men are ‘silent’ as a result of a respect for the need for... view more (2001-03-26)

New platinum-phosphate compounds kill ovarian cancer cells
A new class of compounds called phosphaplatins can effectively kill ovarian, testicular, head and neck cancer cells with potentially less toxicity than conventional drugs, according to a new study published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.    view more (2008-11-20)

Cancer Survival Rates Higher Than Previously Assumed
Conventional estimates for life expectancy after cancer diagnosis have been too pessimistic, suggests a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There are two main ways of quantifying survival estimates after cancer diagnosis. The conventional method, known as the cohort method, is based on the... view more (2002-10-09)

Jefferson scientists find protein potential drug target for treatment-resistant prostate cancer
