TGen researchers discover possible way to block the spread of deadly brain tumors
Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) may have found a way to stop the often-rapid spread of deadly brain tumors. view more (2009-04-20)
Gene first linked to rare disease may trigger skin cancer, other tumors
A gene first identified in connection with a rare disease in which patients develop multiple, benign skin tumors may be a more general player in cancers found throughout the body. view more (2006-05-19)
First of its kind report on how children with brain tumors perform at school
While children who have had brain tumors perform worse in school than healthy kids, grades in foreign language are the most affected and girls have a harder time than boys in getting good grades. view more (2007-07-17)
Tumor-killing virus selectively targets diseased brain cells
New findings show that a specialized virus with the ability to reproduce its tumor-killing genes can selectively target tumors in the brains of mice and eliminate them. view more (2008-02-20)
Common Virus May Help Doctors Treat Deadly Brain Tumors
A common human virus may prove useful in attacking the deadliest form of brain tumors, according to study conducted by researchers at Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. view more (2007-10-23)
Protein shines light on cancer response
A technique that specifically "tags" tumors responding to chemotherapy may offer a new strategy for determining a cancer treatment's effectiveness within days of starting treatment, according to a new study by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators. view more (2008-02-25)
A potential route for human tumor gene therapy
The type 1 Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE1) is a transmembrane protein found in all eukaryotic cells. One of its functions is to evacuate excessive H+ in the cytoplasm by means of Na+-H+ exchange, resulting in stable intracellular pH value. view more (2008-05-21)
Low-dose estrogen shown safe and effective for metastatic breast cancer
When estrogen-lowering drugs no longer control metastatic breast cancer, the opposite strategy might work. Raising estrogen levels benefited 30 percent of women whose metastatic breast cancer no longer responded to standard anti-estrogen treatment. view more (2009-08-19)
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 strategy in tumor treatment
A new strategy proposed by researchers at Dartmouth Medical School and Amtek, Hanover, NH may treat tumors that do not respond to conventional treatment. view more (2009-07-20)
Enhanced DNA-repair mechanism can cause breast cancer
Although defects in the "breast cancer gene," BRCA1, have been known for years to increase the risk for breast cancer, exactly how it can lead to tumor growth has remained a mystery. view more (2007-10-15)
New Cancer Treatment Targets Both Tumor Cells and Blood Vessels
It takes more than one punch to fight tumors. Often, tumors have more than one way of surviving, and attacking the tumor alone is not enough. view more (2008-06-19)
High-energy ultrasound sharpens view of liver tumors
A high-energy form of ultrasound imaging developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering produces pictures of liver tumors that are better than those made with traditional ultrasound, according to results of a clinical study. view more (2008-01-08)
New treatment for pancreatic cancer allows life-saving surgery
A new treatment for pancreatic cancer developed by clinical researchers of Norris Cotton Cancer Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center substantially reduces the size of tumors and lowers the risk of local recurrence of the disease. view more (2005-12-07)
Hopkins scientists find cells responsible for bladder cancer's spread
Johns Hopkins scientists have tracked down a powerful set of cells in bladder tumors that seem to be primarily responsible for the cancer's growth and spread using a technique that takes advantage of similarities between tumor and organ growth. view more (2009-08-07)
Animal Study Identifies Promising New Target for Brain Tumor Therapy
A drug that targets the body's immune cells may be effective in treating malignant brain tumors, according to a new study led by researchers at Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center. In animal models, the drug re-engaged the body's cancer-damaged immune system. view more (2007-05-09)
U-M study finds voice box can be preserved, even with the largest cancers
Some patients with large tumors on their larynx can preserve their speech by opting for chemotherapy and radiation over surgery to remove the voice box. view more (2009-06-26)
REG1A and its receptor EXTL3 are prognostic markers for colorectal cancer recurrence
Two genes, known as REG1A and EXTL3, are overexpressed in colorectal tumors of patients who are at high risk of recurrence, according to a new study from the Max Delbrueck Center in Berlin, Germany. view more (2006-09-14)
New treatment finds success treating tiniest lung tumors
Patients with metastatic cancer tumors in their lungs are much more likely to live disease-free if they have an experimental treatment involving shaped-beam radiosurgery rather that conventional treatment. view more (2006-11-09)
Tumors stopped from spreading to new sites
For several types of cancer, persistently high levels of the soluble factor TGF-beta in the blood after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy correlate with increased risk of early metastasis and a poor prognosis. view more (2007-04-06)
