A new significance of LVD and angiogenic MVD is identified in human primary SCRC
Lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis are critical processes for tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. Angiogenesis has established its role in the development and progression of a variety of malignancies, playing a crucial role in the dissemination of the tumor cells. view more (2008-01-17)
U-M researchers identify stem cells in pancreatic cancer
University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have discovered the small number of cells in pancreatic cancer that are capable of fueling the tumor's growth. The finding is the first identification of cancer stem cells in pancreatic tumors. view more (2007-02-01)
Prodrug could help curb skin toxicity related to EGFR-inhibiting cancer drugs
There may be a way around the harsh skin toxicity associated with a widely used cancer drug, according to a study published online this week in Cancer Biology and Therapy by researchers from City of Hope and the Kimmel Cancer at Jefferson. view more (2009-09-02)
Protein found to control tumor growth in certain breast cancers
This protein was previously thought to play a role solely in the innate immune system's response to bacterial infection. view more (2006-02-01)
Dangerous skin cancer
The German Cancer Society has worked out new guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma-a disease with unfavorable prognosis. view more (2008-12-19)
How to enhance non-thermal effects of ultrasound
In recent years HIFU has been widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, such as liver tumor, bone tumor, and breast cancer. The mechanism for therapeutic actions of HIFU includes thermal effects and non-thermal effects with the latter dominated by cavitational effects. view more (2008-12-29)
Study shows drug effective in treating, preventing breast cancer
A new study of an estrogen-derived drug shows promise as a treatment for breast cancer and breast cancer metastases to bone. view more (2007-11-01)
Penn State College of Medicine research isolates liver cancer stem cells prior to tumor formation
Penn State College of Medicine researchers, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Southern California, have taken an important step in understanding the role of stem cells in development of liver cancer. view more (2009-09-18)
Possible birthplace of malignant brain tumors identified
Researchers have found that abnormal stimulation of a cellular trigger that normally regulates replenishment of brain cells in adults causes invasive tumor-like growths in mice. view more (2006-07-20)
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)
Circulating blood cells are important predictors of cancer spread in children
Endothelial progenitor cells may play a role in the start and progression of metastatic disease in children with cancer. view more (2009-07-15)
Two suppressor molecules affect 70 genes in leukemia
By restoring two small molecules that are often lost in chronic leukemia, researchers were able to block tumor growth in an animal model. view more (2008-04-25)
Killing Cancer Like a Vampire Slayer
Like vampires, cancer tumors require an ample supply of blood to stay alive. Without fresh blood for sustenance, cancer cells shrivel up like raisins and die. view more (2009-09-18)
A chemotherapy drug packs a one-two punch
Cancer can be wily, and those who treat the disease have amassed a wide array of weapons with which to fight it and kill tumors. view more (2007-02-21)
Statins can protect against Alzheimer's disease, according to new study
High cholesterol levels are considered to be a risk factor not only for cardiovascular disease including stroke, but also for the development of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2009-06-22)
Common molecule notifies immune system of prostate cancer
In experiments with mice, researchers have found that the body's immune system can use a surprisingly common molecule to recognize prostate tumors. The molecule comes from a protein found in all cells of the body; however, immune cells appear to respond to it only when it is present on the surface of cells within a tumor. view more (2008-01-11)
Possible cause and potential treatment found for aggressive head and neck cancer
Researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center report that they have found a potential molecular cause for the aggressive growth and spread of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, a highly malignant form of cancer with a very high death rate. view more (2006-04-24)
New approach to gene therapy may shrink brain tumors, prevent their spread
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers are investigating a new approach to gene therapy for brain tumors - delivering a cancer-fighting gene to normal brain tissue around the tumor to keep it from spreading. view more (2008-09-26)
Fugitive cancer cells can be blocked by stopping blood cells that aid them
Cancer cells get a helping hand from platelets, specialized blood cells involved in clotting. Platelets shelter and feed tumor cells that stray into the bloodstream, making it easier for cancer to spread, or metastasize. view more (2008-03-10)
Resistance to chemotherapy in lung cancer, optimizing flu vaccination strategies
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, in part because these tumors often are or become resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2006-10-03)
