New technique kills cancer virus without harming healthy cells
Major breakthrough could lead to successful treatment of viral cancers, without side-effects. Yorkshire Cancer Research funded researchers at the University of York have made a major cancer breakthrough. Using a new technique called RNA interference, they have successfully killed human cervical cancer cells grown in culture without causing damage... view more... (2002-09-03)
New criteria for measuring tumor size and progression will help ease workloads in clinical trials
The first, formal revision of specific guidelines, known as RECIST, used by clinicians to measure tumour size and response to treatment, has been published today (Tuesday 20 January) in a special issue of the European Journal of Cancer. view more (2009-01-20)

New diagnostic tool brings effective treatment closer to cancer patients
Significant progress towards identifying the genetic make-up of individual tumours, hence allowing treatment choices to be made based on personalised information, was announced at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference today. Dr. Alane Koki, Chief Scientific Officer of Ipsogen, a French biotechnology company, told a news briefing that, subject... view more... (2004-03-15)
`Monte Carlo` simulations - the future for effective radiotherapy
Giving a patient the right dose during radiotherapy is essential if you are going to eradicate a tumour without creating excess damage in the surrounding healthy tissue. The Monte Carlo model is a specialised computer program that accurately simulates the passage of every particle that passes through the radiotherapy accelerator and into the... view more...

New chemotherapy combo produces side effects, but no extra efficacy, in early breast cancer patients
Adding capecitabine, a drug that inhibits DNA synthesis and slows the growth of tumour tissue, to docetaxel, in patients with early breast cancer, leads to more toxicities and does not improve the efficacy of treatment. view more (2008-04-17)

First step towards a non-invasive screening test for early signs of testicular cancer
Researchers in Denmark have discovered a way to detect early signs of testicular cancer before it has started to spread. Their findings are the first step towards developing a simple screening test for men at risk of the disease. view more (2005-02-28)
How to enhance non-thermal effects of ultrasound
In recent years HIFU has been widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, such as liver tumor, bone tumor, and breast cancer. The mechanism for therapeutic actions of HIFU includes thermal effects and non-thermal effects with the latter dominated by cavitational effects. view more (2008-12-29)

A study performed by researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), in collaboration with researchers at the Instituto de Biología Molecular of the CSIC, reveal a mechanism that controls the movement of cells in a tissue by regulating cell adhesion. view more (2008-07-21)
UK faces asbestos epidemic
The United Kingdom is facing an epidemic of mesothelioma (a malignant tumour of the lung lining) among workers exposed to asbestos, warn senior doctors in this week's BMJ. There are now over 1800 mesothelioma deaths per year in Britain (more than one in 200 of all deaths in men and almost one in 1000 in women) and the number is still increasing.... view more...
