Scientists discover that metastases share a similar genetic profile to their primary tumour
Hamburg, Germany: Work by scientists in The Netherlands has contradicted the notion that breast cancer metastases behave differently to their primary tumours. PhD student, Britta Weigelt told the meeting of the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference today (Thursday 18 March) that, contrary to what had been thought previously, any primary breast... view more...

Better MRI scans of cancers made possible by TU Delft
Researcher Kristina Djanashvili has developed a substance that enables doctors to get better MRI scans of tumours. On Tuesday 13 January, Djanashvili will be awarded a doctorate by TU Delft for her work in this field. view more (2009-01-13)
Specific treatments for each type of sarcoma
The new molecular techniques allow designing specific treatments for a great number of sarcomas, according to Dr. Enrique de Alava, expert of the department of Pathologic Anatomy of the University Clinic of the University of Navarre. The molecular knowledge has become a very useful tool to study several diseases. In particular, it provides... view more... (2002-11-29)

International study findings link acne-like rash to effectiveness of new targeted cancer treatment
Acne is not a condition that anyone would welcome under normal circumstances, but an international study of a new targeted cancer treatment - cetuximab - has shown that patients who developed an acne-like rash responded better to the treatment than those who did not. view more (2004-09-28)
Researchers Discover New Method to Treat Cancer
Research at Oxford University's Institute of Molecular Medicine has identified a novel therapeutic regimen for the treatment of cancer that provides significant advantages over the existing methods of cancer treatment. There are already a number of regimens available for treatment of cancer, including chemotherapy, which is commonly used to treat... view more... (2003-03-20)
Improving quality of life for brain tumour patients
A new neuroimaging study at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital at McGill University aims to ensure the highest quality of life for patients by assessing their cognitive skills before, during, and after brain tumour surgery. view more (2008-04-22)
New insights into how the oncogenic protein c-Myc regulates cell growth
New findings by Swedish and German scientists on the regulation of cellular growth are published in the March issue of Nature Cell Biology. view more (2005-02-20)
Tumour development actors ERK1 and ERK2 found to play opposite roles
The proteins ERK1 and ERK2 may play opposite roles during tumour development. A study published today in the open access journal Journal of Biology shows that the phosphorylating enzyme, or 'kinase', ERK1 can inhibit cell proliferation by interfering with the action of the related kinase ERK2. ERK1 and ERK2 are crucial components of the signalling... view more... (2006-06-28)
Endothelin-1 inhibitors in chronic pancreatitis
Fibrosis is a key feature of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. The extensive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins fosters the development of an exocrine and endocrine organ insufficiency, and accelerates progression of the tumour. view more (2009-09-17)
Health: Improving the recognition of brain tumours
Researchers at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry in Jülich have developed a short-lived, radioactive amino acid that delivers much more precise information on brain tumours and their structure than was possible in the past. By combining positron emission tomography (PET), a process that visualises the spread of radioactive substances in the... view more... (2005-05-04)

It takes two to fight cancer
New research at the Institute of Food Research shows that two food components recognised for their ability to fight cancer are up to 13 times more powerful when put to work together. The results are published in the latest issue of international journal Carcinogenesis. The study focuses on genes that play an important role in tumour formation,... view more... (2003-03-31)
Predicting breast cancer patient outcome: MUHC researchers identify new genes
Not a day goes by without a new story about the environment. Although we often consider the environment on a global scale, cells in our body also have to contend with environmental factors. view more (2008-04-29)
Nanoballs deliver drugs
Dutch researcher Cristianne Rijcken has developed a new type of biodegradable nanoparticle. The spherical structures can encapsulate various fat-soluble medicines, which makes it easier to target tumour tissue. view more (2007-10-25)
Chemoradioimmunotherapy for advanced breast cancer: hope for the future?
Innsbruck, Austria: A successful, and novel, technique to kill metastatic breast cancer cells by circumventing their chemo- and radioresistant mechanisms was by presented by Dr John Giannios, Head of Radiotherapeutic Cancer Research at the IASO Hospital, Athens, Greece at the 18th Meeting of the European Association for Cancer Research today... view more...

Markers that can predict cancer spread could save women from unnecessary chemotherapy
Women with early breast cancer could avoid needless chemotherapy thanks to work carried out in Chicago on identifying biochemical markers which indicate whether or not cancer is likely to spread to other parts of the body, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona heard today (Saturday 23 March). Ruth Heimann, Associate Professor in... view more... (2002-03-21)
