Copenhagen, Denmark: New findings presented today (Tuesday 23 September) at ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference, show that US prostate cancer mortality rates, which had been increasing slowly during the 1970s and 1980s, suddenly started to fall rapidly during the 1990s.   view more (2003-09-21)

OU Cancer Institute Scientists Identify New Cancer Stem Cell Marker; Developing Drug to Stop Cancer Recurrence
After years of working toward this goal, scientists at the OU Cancer Institute have found a way to isolate cancer stem cells in tumors so they can target the cells and kill them, keeping cancer from returning.    view more (2008-09-12)

University to develop new therapeutics for cancer
Dr Roger Barraclough, from the School of Biological Sciences, is working on a new protein which causes some cancer cells to spread around the body. This protein is being developed to assist in improving the management of breast cancer.   view more (2006-07-28)

European Studies Highlight Value Of Screening For Breast Cancer (PP 1405, 1411)
Two European studies published in this week's issue of THE LANCET show that the introduction of mammography screening in Sweden and The Netherlands has contributed to a decrease in deaths from breast cancer. The long-term value of mammography screening has caused considerable debate over the past few years. Laszlo Tabar from Falun Central... view more... (2003-04-23)

Weight loss decreases risk of breast cancer in susceptible women
Women with a mutation in the gene BRCA1, which predisposes women to breast cancer, are 65% less likely to develop the disease if they lose weight between 18 and 30 years of age.   view more (2005-08-22)

DEFINITIVE STUDY OF CANCER WAITING TIMES SUGGESTS MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR NHS
The paper, by Spurgeon, Barwell and Kerr at the University of Birmingham, will provide valuable baseline data which can be used to set targets for improvement in cancer services. The authors invited all English acute hospital trusts to submit data on new patients diagnosed with cancer during October 1997. They received data from 98 per cent of the... view more...

PET-CT highly accurate for detecting ovarian cancer recurrence
The accuracy of PET-CT for detecting recurrent ovarian cancer is high, more accurate even than either CT or PET alone, says a new study by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.   view more (2006-05-02)

Pre-eclampsia linked to increased cancer risk
Women with a history of pre-eclampsia are at increased risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach, breast, ovary, lung, and larynx, shows new research from Israel. This study will be available on bmj.com on Friday 5 March 2004. Previous studies have shown either no association or have suggested a protective association between... view more... (2004-03-03)

Sentinel lymph node biopsy is associated with breast cancer rates
The incidence of some early stage metastatic breast cancers is increasing, but this finding is likely explained by changes in clinical practice, according to a study published online June 26 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.   view more (2007-06-27)

Early warning: PSA testing can predict advanced prostate cancer
Researchers who showed that a single prostate specific antigen (PSA) test at age 50 or under could predict the presence of prostate cancer up to 25 years later, (regardless of clinical significance) have now found that a single PSA can be used to predict advanced prostate cancer.   view more (2008-02-15)

Stem cells as cancer therapy
It is widely hoped that neural stem cells will eventually be useful for replacing nerves damaged by degenerative diseases like Alzheimer disease and multiple sclerosis. But there may also be another use for such stem cells-delivering anti-cancer drugs to cancer cells.   view more (2006-12-26)

Annual prostate cancer screening test appears to save lives
Men who have a yearly blood test to examine their prostate specific antigen levels are nearly three times less likely to die from prostate cancer than those who don't have annual screenings.   view more (2005-10-20)
