tNOX serves as a serum marker for detection and monitoring of disease progression in prostate cancer
A team of researchers at Purdue University has found a protein in the blood that may prove to be more reliable than the standard prostate specific antigen (PSA) test in measuring the extent of prostate cancer. view more (2006-09-14)
Therapeutic peptide frees the protein p73 to kill tumor cells
The protein p53 suppresses tumor development by potently inducing tumor cell death, making it an obvious target for anticancer therapeutics. view more (2007-03-09)
Stealthy gene network makes brain tumors flourish
The brain tumor afflicting Sen. Edward Kennedy - a glioblastoma - is the most aggressive and wily form of brain cancer. view more (2009-07-15)
New Discovery Brings Hope to Treatment of Lymphatic Diseases
Researchers in the laboratory of Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati at the University of Kentucky have discovered the first naturally occurring molecule that selectively blocks lymphatic vessel growth. view more (2009-08-11)
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)
A stem cell type supposed to be crucial for angiogenesis and cancer growth does not exist?
Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is a central process in diverse physiological and pathological situations such as healing of wounds and traumas, cardiovascular disorders, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and in cancer growth. view more (2008-04-23)
New targeted treatment for brain tumors shows promise in pre-clinical models
Monoclonal antibody targets key tumor growth factor; Successfully causes brain tumor regression and improves animal survival. view more (2006-02-15)
Gliomas exploit immune cells of the brain for rapid expansion
Gliomas are among the most common and most malignant brain tumors. These tumors infiltrate normal brain tissue and grow very rapidly. As a result, surgery can never completely remove the tumor. view more (2009-07-17)
FDG-PET accurate for evaluating lung tumor destruction from radiofrequency ablation
FDG-PET can be used to assess the amount of tumor destruction after radiofrequency ablation (RFA)-the use of heat to destroy tumors-for the treatment of lung tumors and may provide more valuable information than CT alone, according to a new study. view more (2006-05-01)
Researchers identify new cell targets for preventing growth of breast and other tumors
Researchers at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered new targets for cancer treatment aimed at blocking a key step in tumor progression. view more (2008-04-24)
Researchers identify new cell targets for preventing growth of breast and other tumors
Researchers at the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered new targets for cancer treatment aimed at blocking a key step in tumor progression. view more (2008-04-24)
Does natural selection drive the evolution of cancer?
The dynamics of evolution are fully in play within the environment of a tumor, just as they are in forests and meadows, oceans and streams. This is the view of researchers in an emerging cross-disciplinary field that brings the thinking of ecologists and evolutionary biologists to bear on cancer biology. view more (2006-11-20)
Cancer-causing protein may heal damaged spinal cord and brain cells
Cancer researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have found that a protein known for driving the growth of cancer also plays a surprising role in restoring the ability of neurons to regenerate, making it an important target for addressing spinal cord damage or neurological diseases like Alzheimer's. view more (2006-06-29)
Stanford study prevents pancreatic tumor growth in mice by inhibiting key protein
Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a protein critical for the growth of pancreatic cancer. view more (2009-02-02)
New animal study may explain why alcohol consumption increases breast cancer risk
For the first time, scientists have used a laboratory mouse model to mimic the development of human alcohol-induced breast cancer. view more (2007-04-30)
Tulane pioneers novel ovarian cancer treatment
The Tulane University Section of Hematology and Medical Oncology is investigating a novel treatment for ovarian cancer by using intravenous Ontak to deplete harmful cells that inhibit the body's natural immune response to fight cancer. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cancer killer of women in the United States. view more (2005-07-18)
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)
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)
Newly found enzymes may play early role in cancer
Researchers have discovered two enzymes that, when combined, could be involved in the earliest stages of cancer. Manipulating these enzymes genetically might lead to targeted therapies aimed at slowing or preventing the onset of tumors. view more (2008-12-29)
Small peptide found to stop lung cancer tumor growth in mice
In new animal research done by investigators at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, scientists have discovered a treatment effective in mice at blocking the growth and shrinking the size of lung cancer tumors, one of the leading causes of cancer death in the world. view more (2009-08-27)
