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... (2000-03-13)

Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how two molecules fight in the blood to control the spread of cancer cells. view more (2007-01-09)
Genetic predictors of esophageal cancer identified
Researchers have identified 11 genotypes that may increase esophageal cancer risk, according to research published in the November issue of Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2008-11-05)
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)
Queen's expert challenges "corporatization" of breast cancer research
New research by a Queen's University researcher questions the effectiveness of privately funded efforts to stop the epidemic of breast cancer among North American women. view more (2006-08-24)
New drug achieves pancreatic cancer tumor remission and prevents recurrence
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers, but researchers may have found a combination therapy to reduce cancer stem cells and stop pancreatic cancer growth. Results will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 100th Annual Meeting 2009. view more (2009-04-20)
Cholesterol levels and use of lipid-lowering drugs are not associated with breast cancer risk
Cholesterol levels and use of statins or other lipid-lowering drugs are not associated with breast cancer risk, according to a study in the October 24 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-10-25)
History of nonmelanoma skin cancer is associated with increased risk for subsequent malignancies
Individuals with a history of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) are at increased risk for other cancers, according to a study published in the August 26 online issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2008-08-27)
Newly Identified Gene Activated In 80% Of Breast Cancer Patients
New research, published this week in Breast Cancer Research, could provide a genetic explanation for breast cancer. A George Washington University Medical Center team, led by Patricia Berg, has discovered that the gene BP1 is activated in 80% of breast cancer patients. The researchers believe that this gene may offer a useful new target for early... view more... (2003-04-25)
Ovarian cancer stem cells identified, characterized
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have identified, characterized and cloned ovarian cancer stem cells and have shown that these stem cells may be the source of ovarian cancer's recurrence and its resistance to chemotherapy. view more (2008-04-18)
Enhancement of pancreatic cancer on dynamic CT: Does it correlate with angiogenesis and fibrosis?
Prognosis of pancreatic cancer is poor. Recently, it has been clarified that the grade of tumor angiogenesis is a useful prognostic marker in human cancer, including pancreatic cancer. view more (2009-07-16)
Search for cancer genes unlikely to succeed, say experts
The hunt to find common genes that are associated with cancer is unlikely to be successful, say experts in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-05-12)
Pregnancy has no impact on breast cancer, but can delay diagnosis and treatment
A new study finds women who develop breast cancer while pregnant or soon afterwards do not experience any differences in disease severity or likelihood of survival compared to other women with breast cancer. view more (2009-02-09)
African-Americans with prostate cancer more likely to have family history of prostate, breast cancer
African-American men with prostate cancer were more likely to report a family history of prostate cancer and breast cancer among siblings than men who did not have prostate cancer, according to researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2006-12-04)
How to increase the efficacy of local excision of rectal cancer
With the advancement of imaging techniques, the accuracy of preoperative rectal cancer staging has increased dramatically, and the preservation of physical function in rectal cancer patients has become a very important aim of research. view more (2009-03-20)
