Combined effect of proteins saves lives in cases of pneumonia
An effective host defence to the most prevalent form of pneumonia is only obtained if two proteins combine their forces. Dutch researcher Anita Rijneveld made this discovery during her PhD research at the Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam. Using mice infected with the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the bacterium which causes... view more... (2003-05-16)

Adolescent survival rates for osteosarcoma have not improved for 20 years
More research is urgently needed says cancer surgeon London, UK: New treatments and more research are urgently needed in order to increase the numbers of adolescents who survive bone cancer, according to a leading cancer surgeon. Osteosarcoma is the third most common cancer in young people*, yet during the past 20 years little research has been... view more... (2004-02-28)
High calorie diet seems to increase chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer
A high calorie diet seems to increase the chances of surviving bowel cancer for longer, suggests research in Gut. Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the West, and is strongly linked to dietary factors, especially high intakes of red meat, fat, and refined sugars. Survival rates are generally poor, with less than half of those... view more... (2003-05-09)
Early Promise Of Blood Marker To Detect Mesothelioma (p 1612)
Preliminary results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a blood test could be used in the future to identify people with mesothelioma-the usually deadly malignant tumor of mesothelial tissue surrounding the lungs, often caused by exposure to asbestos. Bruce Robinson from Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Perth, Australia, and... view more... (2003-11-12)
Substance tackles skin cancer from 2 sides
By playing it safe and using a two-pronged attack, a novel designer molecule fights malignant melanoma. It was created and tested by an international team of researchers led by the University of Bonn. view more (2008-11-03)
Breast cancers behave differently before and after the age of 70
Researchers in Belgium have discovered that increasing age affects the way breast cancer behaves. As women approach the age of 70, they become less likely to be diagnosed with aggressive tumours that have spread to the lymph nodes. But after 70, the cancer is increasingly likely to spread, particularly if the tumours are small. view more (2008-04-21)
Bowel cancer sufferers at risk of developing other unrelated cancers faster than expected
Bowel cancer sufferers are at increased risk of developing other completely different cancers at a higher rate than would be expected, finds a study in Gut. And this excludes recurrence of, or spread (metastasis) from, the original tumour. view more (2002-04-09)
MRC Scientists Find Better Way to Predict the Outcome of Breast Cancer Following Surgery
MRC Scientists have found a better way to predict the outcome of breast cancer following surgery which might lead to the improved management of the disease. The discovery, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, complements the methods doctors currently use to predict the outcome of breast cancer following surgery in order to choose the... view more...

A black and white look at breast cancer mortality
African and African American women are more likely to die of breast cancer than their white counterparts because they tend to get the disease before the menopause. view more (2007-02-21)
Genetic Imbalance Could Help Predict Colorectal Cancer Prognosis (pp 183, 219)
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that an imbalance in specific genetic material on chromosomes 8 and 18 could be a better predictor of colorectal cancer prognosis than conventional histopathological assessment. Chromosome imbalances occur in many cancers and represent important biological properties of tumours.... view more... (2002-01-17)
EUROCARE-3 publishes new childhood cancer survival figures
The Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland, represent a gold standard for the treatment of children's cancer. They have survival rates to which all European countries that devote similar resources and have comparable health systems can aspire, according to research published today (18 December 2003) in Annals of Oncology[1]. The... view more... (2003-12-16)
Basis created for directing and filming blood vessels
A new method of filming blood-vessel cells that move in accordance with targeted signals has been developed by researchers at Uppsala University in collaboration with researchers at the University of California. The method can also be used to study how migration of cancer cells and nerves can be controlled. view more (2008-03-27)

Scientists from the University of Navarra find 5 genes involved in the metastasis of breast tumours to the lung
The identification of five genes involve in the metastasis of breast tumours to the lung is the principal finding of a scientific team made up of two bodies from the University of Navarra, the Applied Medical Research Centre (CIMA) and the University Hospital of the University of Navarra. view more (2008-06-23)
New target for cancer therapy identified
A new target for cancer therapy has been identified by Monash University scientists investigating the cell signalling pathways that turn on a gene involved in cancer development. view more (2006-09-22)
EU funding helping to find ocean remedies for cancer
European Union funding is helping to find cancer treatments for certain deadly tumours using small marine animals. European researchers are using chemical agents extracted from a type of Caribbean sea squirt, named Ecteinascidia turbinata, to treat some tumours. The breakthrough findings will soon be published in the Marine Drugs journal. The... view more... (2004-06-11)
Stem cells give clues to understanding cancer and make breakthrough in childhood leukaemia
Scientists in Switzerland are uncovering new clues about how cancer cells grow - and how they can be killed - by studying stem cells, 'blank' cells that have the potential to develop into fully mature or 'differentiated' cells and other scientists in UK have made a breakthrough in understanding the cause of the most common form of childhood... view more...
