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 survival experience of cancer patients whose... view more... (2002-10-09)
For young boys with cancer, testicular tissue banking may be option to preserve fertility
For parents of children with cancer, the hopeful news is that pediatric survival rates have steadily improved for decades. Among the bad news-treatments that enable survival often cause infertility. view more (2009-11-10)
New drug aims to 'seek and destroy' many types of cancer
A new drug designed to "seek and destroy" common cancers such as breast, prostate, endometrial, pancreatic, ovarian, skin and testicular cancers is being tested at TGen Clinical Research Services (TCRS) at Scottsdale Healthcare. view more (2009-10-06)
Testicular tumors may explain why some diseases are more common in children of older fathers
A rare form of testicular tumour has provided scientists with new insights into how genetic changes (mutations) arise in our children. view more (2009-10-26)
Jefferson scientists find protein potential drug target for treatment-resistant prostate cancer
Scientists at Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia have found that a signaling protein that is key to prostate cancer cell growth is turned on in nearly all recurrent prostate cancers that are resistant to hormone therapy. view more (2008-01-02)
Metals could forge new cancer drug
Drugs made using unusual metals could form an effective treatment against colon and ovarian cancer, including cancerous cells that have developed immunity to other drugs, according to research at the University of Warwick and the University of Leeds. view more (2009-10-19)
Two landmark fertility studies give hope to young male cancer patients
Research studies published today (Thursday 28 November) in Human Reproduction[1] bring new hope of preserving fertility for boys who face sterility after cancer treatment. In one study Japanese fertility experts report two world 'firsts' - mice born from frozen immature testicular tissue taken from one set of mice and matured in others, and a... view more...

Truly informed consent must include talking about future fertility, warn experts
Talking about sex and fertility can be just as embarrassing for medical staff as for adolescent cancer patients, the 4th International Conference on Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Medicine heard today. view more (2006-03-30)
Hormone inhibitor promising for hard-to-treat prostate cancer
For prostate cancer patients whose tumors have continued to grow despite medical or surgical castration, a new drug candidate that inhibits production of male hormones anywhere in the body is showing promise in early trials. view more (2007-07-09)
Hypospadias, a birth defect of the male urethra, is not increasing in New York state
In recent decades, there have been periodic reports of a worldwide decline in sperm count and quality. view more (2009-06-08)
UNC study supports role of circadian clock in response to chemotherapy
For years, research has hinted that the time of day that cancer patients receive chemotherapy can impact their chances of survival. But the lack of a clear scientific explanation for this finding has kept clinicians from considering timing as a factor in treatment. view more (2009-01-13)
Human testis harbors HIV-1 in resident immune cells
Researchers have demonstrated HIV replication within resident immune cells of the testis, providing an explanation for the persistence of virus in semen even after effective highly active antiretroviral therapy. view more (2006-11-27)
Baby born from sperm frozen for record 21 years
UK researchers writing in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1], today (Tuesday 25 May) report what they believe to be a world record - a baby born using sperm that had been frozen for 21 years. "We believe this is the longest period of sperm cryopreservation resulting in a live birth so far reported in the... view more... (2004-05-23)
Variation of normal protein could be key to resistance to common cancer drug
Researchers at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego (UC SD) in La Jolla have found evidence explaining why a common chemotherapy drug, cisplatin, may not always work for every cancer patient. They have shown that when a variant version of a key protein that normally causes cell death is active, patients may be... view more... (2008-08-28)
Environmental chemicals implicated in cancer, say experts
New research at the University of Liverpool suggests that environmental contaminants, such as pesticides, are more influential in causing cancer than previously thought. view more (2006-03-20)
BIOMARKERS IN ADOLESCENTS COULD PROVIDE MEASUREMENT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (p 1660)
Biological markers in adolescents could be a reliable measure of exposure to environmental pollutants, according to a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET which highlights how increased exposure among adolescents slows sexual development. Human exposure to chemicals is normally monitored by measurement of environmental pollutants externally.... view more... (2001-05-23)
Women 10 times more likely to do breast self-exams correctly with intervention, KP study finds
A brief intervention program - consisting of one counseling session and two follow-up phone calls - boosted by tenfold the number of women correctly performing breast self- exams. view more (2009-04-30)
New Breast Cancer Mannequin To Revolutionize Teaching of Breast Cancer Awareness
Researchers at the University of Warwick will mark the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the launch of a unique, highly accurate, breast cancer mannequin that, for the first time, will give women learning how to spot breast lumps a training aid that can closely mimic what a range of breast lumps actually look and feel like. The quest... view more... (2003-09-29)
Study hints at role of stem cell genes in testicular, breast cancers
UCSF scientists have discovered that the activity of several embryonic stem cell genes is elevated in testicular and breast cancers, providing some of the first molecular evidence of a link between embryonic stem cells and cancer. view more (2005-11-30)
