A tumor suppressor that promotes cancer cell growth?
Researchers have shown that the tumor suppressor gene H-REV107-1 may actually stimulate tumor progression in some non-small cell lung carcinomas. view more (2006-10-09)
Children's National researchers develop novel anti-tumor vaccine
A novel anti-tumor vaccine for neuroblastoma and melanoma developed by scientists and clinicians at Children's National Medical Center in collaboration with investigators from the University of Iowa is showing significant impact on tumor growth in mice. view more (2008-10-03)
A new theoretical model of tumor growth and metastasis based on differences in tissue pressure
The HFSP Journal, the interdisciplinary journal for scientists conducting high quality, innovative research at the interface between biology and the physical sciences is pleased to announce that the latest article modelling of tumor growth and metastasis. view more (2009-03-24)
A low-carb diet may stunt prostate tumor growth
A diet low in carbohydrates may help stunt the growth of prostate tumors, according to a new study led by Duke Prostate Center researchers. view more (2007-11-14)
Lowering your cholesterol may decrease your risk of cancer
Current research suggests that lowering cholesterol may block the growth of prostate tumors. The related report by Solomon et al, "Ezetimibe Is an Inhibitor of Tumor Angiogenesis," appears in the March 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2009-02-24)
May supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid suppress colon tumor cell growth?
Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of death in Western countries. The role of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs in colorectal carcinoma cell growth has not been well studied. It is known that PGE2, generated from AA, is an important factor in the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer. view more (2009-03-09)
Mathematics reveals genetic pattern of tumor growth
Using mathematical theory, UC Irvine scientists have shed light on one of cancer's most troubling puzzles - how cancer cells can alter their own genetic makeup to accelerate tumor growth. view more (2007-06-25)
Tiny tool to control growing blood vessels opens new potential in tumor research
Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new tool that makes it possible to study the signals in the body that control the generation of blood vessels. view more (2009-02-23)
Researchers identify new drug targets for cancer
Solving a 100-year-old genetic puzzle, researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have determined that the same genetic mechanism that drives tumor growth can also act as a tumor suppressor. view more (2007-01-02)
Experimental anti-cancer synthetic molecule targets tumor cell growth and angiogenesis
A recent study conducted by three French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) laboratories describes a new candidate anti-cancer drug, named HB-19. view more (2008-06-18)
A longer lasting tumor blocker
On the heels of dismaying reports that a promising antitumor drug could, in theory, shorten patients' long-term survival, comes a promising study by a Japanese team of researchers that suggests a potentially better option. view more (2009-04-28)
New insights about what GIST tumors can be treated with medication
The fatal soft-part tumor GIST has only recently become treatable by medication. In further studies, a research team at The Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University has now been able to determine what factors steer the prognosis and have therefore been able to show which patients should be considered for this new and effective, but also... view more...

Effective pain treatment for cancer patients?
Cancer patients often suffer from severe pain that cannot be effectively treated with conventional medication. view more (2009-06-26)
Mayo researchers discover mechanism of cell type-specific signaling in tumor development
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered the mechanisms behind two key checkpoints in cell growth and development - factors that may ultimately allow investigators to benchmark progression of tumor cells or stop them from further development. The findings appear in the current online issue of Developmental Cell. view more (2009-04-08)
Tumor suppressor gene in flies may provide insights for human brain tumors
In the fruit fly's developing brain, stem cells called neuroblasts normally divide to create one self-renewing neuroblast and one cell that has a different fate. But neuroblast growth can sometimes spin out of control and become a brain tumor. view more (2009-06-23)
Carbohydrate restriction may slow prostate tumor growth
Restricting carbohydrates, regardless of weight loss, appears to slow the growth of prostate tumors, according to an animal study being published this week by researchers in the Duke Prostate Center. view more (2009-05-27)
Colorful spy tactics track live cells supporting cancerous tumors
A new advance in cellular imaging is allowing scientists to better understand the movement of cells in the area around tumors, also known as the tumor microenvironment. view more (2008-09-17)
New method to inhibit growth of tumor cells
A new and promising way to inhibit the growth of tumor cells is the result of a collaborative effort between researchers Lars-Ã"¦ke Fransson and Mattias Belting at Lund University and a team in La Jolla, USA, led by cancer researcher Jeffrey Esko. Their work involves hampering the production of two substances that help tumor cells to grow... view more... (2001-12-21)
Tumor cells evade death through autophagy
Autophagy is a cellular process that enables cells to turnover their contents, something that they do frequently. Autophagy is initiated in tumor cells by chemotherapy and radiation, but it is not known if this contributes to tumor cell death or helps tumor cells survive the anti-cancer therapy. view more (2007-01-19)
CSHL scientists successfully target tumor microenvironment to stop cancer growth
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) researchers led by Daniel Nolan and Assistant Professor Vivek Mittal have found that bone marrow (BM) derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play a critical role in the early stages of tumor progression and that eliminating EPCs stops cancer growth. view more (2007-06-18)
