New study reveals big disparity between countries in breast conservation rates
Hamburg, Germany: The rates of conservation surgery for breast cancer vary hugely between countries, delegates at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference heard today (Friday 19 March). In France 72% of patients had breast conservation surgery but in Poland it was only 2%. The figures come from an analysis of surgical techniques used in an... view more... (2004-03-17)
Mutation of the COX2 gene can double or treble a woman's risk of ovarian cancer
Researchers in Portugal have discovered that a specific mutation of the COX2 gene seems to play a role in the onset of ovarian cancer, increasing women's susceptibility to developing the disease. view more (2007-09-26)
Reducing p38MAPK levels delays aging of multiple tissues in lab mice
In the new issue of the Developmental Cell journal, a team of scientists at Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and the University of North Carolina School of Medicine at Chapel Hill, report research findings about the molecular mechanisms behind the aging process, which has up till now been poorly understood, that... view more...

How chemo kills tumours: research to reduce side effects
Dr Stephen Taylor and Karen Gascoigne at the University's Faculty of Life Sciences have taken a new systematic approach to studying anti-mitotic drugs, which are used extensively for breast or ovarian cancer in the UK. view more (2008-08-07)
Cancer cells in blood can identify risk of recurrence in breast cancer
Cancer cells circulating in the blood, or circulating tumour cells (CTCs), are known to be associated with a bad prognosis in women with metastatic breast cancer. view more (2007-09-25)
How IVF could be causing genetic errors in embryos
The conditions in which embryos are cultured in the laboratory during in vitro fertilisation could be causing genetic errors that are associated with certain developmental syndromes and other abnormalities in growth and development, such as low birth weight. view more (2006-06-19)

Targeted heat therapy offers new standard treatment option for soft tissue sarcoma
Patients with soft-tissue sarcomas at high risk of spreading were 30% more likely to be alive and cancer free almost three years after starting treatment if their tumours were heated at the time they received chemotherapy, according to new research. view more (2009-09-22)
Trial of new treatment for advanced melanoma shows rapid shrinking of tumors

New chemotherapy regimen prolongs survival in difficult-to-treat childhood brainstem gliomas
Childhood brainstem gliomas (BSGs) are rare but can be very difficult to treat successfully and they tend to have poor survival rates. view more (2007-09-26)
Survival after melanoma not affected by surgical background
Survival of melanoma patients does not depend on the surgical background of the person removing the primary tumour, concludes a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-11-27)
'Arimidex' (anastrozole) significantly reduces the risk of contralateral breast tumours compared to gold-standard tamoxifen
Latest results from the ATAC (Arimidex, Tamoxifen Alone or in Combination) study in early breast cancer, presented today at the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC), show that treatment with 'Arimidex' more than halved the risk of post-menopausal women developing new tumours in the other previously healthy (contralateral) breast compared... view more...

Patients with throat cancer should have endoscopic ultrasound examination
Research News from British Journal of Surgery The surgery needed to remove throat tumours is severe and often involves drawing the stomach higher into the chest cavity. Before surgeons embark on this risky procedure they need to believe that the patient has a good chance of benefiting from the operation. Endoscopic ultrasonography is a fairly new... view more...

Finding of a new molecular marker of resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer
A collaborative study between the IDIBAPS—Hospital Clínic of Barcelona and the Hospital del Mar de Barcelona permits to establish a predictive factor in the resistance to chemotherapy in breast cancer and to establish possible therapeutic targets for the improvement of this treatment. view more (2006-06-29)
US researchers show cottonseed drug is cancer treatment booster - patient trials now planned
New research has opened up the prospect that gossypol - a drug refined from cottonseed oil and previously tried and abandoned as a male contraceptive - could boost the effectiveness of treatment for prostate tumours and possibly other common cancers as well. view more (2004-09-29)
No increased risk of brain cancer from electromagnetic fields
Exposure to electromagnetic fields does not increase the risk of developing a brain tumour, finds a study of electricity industry workers, reported in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Researchers from the Institute of Occupational Health at the University of Birmingham assessed causes of death among just under 84,000 workers employed in... view more... (2001-09-07)
