Testicular cancer gauge often not used
A standard part of testicular cancer care isn't used in more than half of all patients who have the condition, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found. view more (2008-03-18)
Curacyte scientists discover new anti-tumour agents
Curacyte AG, a Munich-based drug development company focused on novel treatments of inflammatory diseases, thrombotic disorders and cancer has announced today that its scientists have discovered a series of novel small molecule inhibitors of matriptase, a trypsin-like serine protease. Matriptase is an important mediator in the degradation of the... view more... (2003-06-17)
Blocking one protein helps cancer cells die of natural causes
Researchers have identified a protein fragment that keeps at least one major tumor suppressor gene from preventing cancer like it should. The fragment belongs to a class of proteins known as apoptotic enhancers (ASPP), named for their ability to stimulate programmed cell death, or apoptosis, by the p53 gene. But a study published in Nature... view more... (2003-01-08)
Angiogenesis linked to poor survival in patients with rare type of ovarian cancer
Researchers from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that increased angiogenesis, or blood vessel formation, and vascular endothelial growth factor expression are associated with poor survival in women with sex cord-stromal ovarian tumors. view more (2009-02-06)
Light reveals breast tumor oxygen status
Light directed at a breast tumor through a needle can provide pathologists with biological specifics of the tumor and help oncologists choose treatment options that would be most effective for that individual patient. view more (2009-04-01)
Researchers identify ovarian cancer biomarkers
Researchers have identified markers unique to the cells of blood vessels running through ovarian tumors. The finding, while preliminary, could one day improve screening, diagnosis and treatment for this disease. view more (2007-03-08)

Mutations common to cancer and developmental disorder examined in a novel disease model
New research sheds light on a common link between tumor formation and Costello Syndrome, an inherited developmental disorder in which patients have cardiac defects, mild mental retardation, and face-shape abnormalities. view more (2008-12-22)
Fluorescent cancer cells to guide brain surgeons
Gliomas are malignant brain tumors that arise from glial (supporting) cells of the brain. Gliomas are often resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2009-04-06)
Mayo Clinic Researchers Find That Protein Believed to Protect Against Cancer Has a Mr. Hyde Side
In a biological rendition of fiction's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, researchers from the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida and Harvard Medical School have found that a protein thought to protect against cancer development can actually spur the spread of tumors. view more (2009-09-04)
Gene therapy technique thwarts cancer by cutting off tumor blood supply
University of Florida researchers have come up with a new gene therapy method to disrupt cancer growth by using a synthetic protein to induce blood clotting that cuts off a tumor's blood and nutrient supply. view more (2009-06-12)
Study provides documentation that tumor 'stem-like cells' exist in benign tumors
Cancer stem-like cells have been implicated in the genesis of a variety of malignant cancers. Research scientists at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute have isolated stem-like cells in benign (pituitary) tumors and used these "mother" cells to generate new tumors in laboratory mice. view more (2009-07-23)
Waste disposal protein is mechanism behind cancer tumor suppression
"Taking out the trash" takes on a whole new meaning, as investigators at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have discovered that a waste disposal protein is the key to cancer tumor suppression in a process known as autophagy. view more (2009-06-12)
Botox could help target resistant tumors for treatment
The cosmetic treatment Botox may have a new use as an adjuvant to cancer therapy, providing an open door for chemotherapy and radiation treatments. view more (2006-02-15)
Penn researchers study the use of ultrasound for treatment of cancer
For the first time, ultrasound is being used in animal models - to treat cancer by disrupting tumor blood vessels. view more (2005-11-07)
Math model predicts cancer behavior
Vito Quaranta clicks on a small black dot on his computer screen. The dot - which represents about a thousand cancer cells - begins to "grow," morphing into a mass with finger-like projections that looks like an invasive tumor. view more (2006-12-04)
Antibody Extends Life of Mice with Breast Cancer
A monoclonal antibody developed by researchers at the University at Buffalo has been shown to extend significantly the survival of mice with human breast-cancer tumors and to inhibit the cancer's spread to the lungs in the animals by more than 50 percent. view more (2006-12-12)
Why don't brain tumors respond to medication?
Malignant brain tumors often fail to respond to promising new medication. Researchers in Heidelberg have discovered a mechanism and a tumor marker for the development of this resistance. view more (2009-09-01)
New method monitors early sign of oxidative stress in cancer
The growth of cancerous tumors is fueled, at least in part, by the buildup of free radicals-highly reactive oxygen-containing molecules. view more (2009-09-14)
Homing nanoparticles pack multiple assault on tumors
A collaborative team led by Erkki Ruoslahti, M.D., Ph.D., of the Burnham Institute for Medical Research at UC Santa Barbara (Burnham) has developed nanoparticles that seek out tumors and bind to their blood vessels, and then attract more nanoparticles to the tumor target. view more (2007-01-09)
