Fighting cancer with aspirin?
When looking for new weapons in the war on cancer, scientists should turn to their medicine cabinets for an age-old remedy-aspirin. According to scientists at the University of Newcastle (UK), aspirin has cancer-fighting effects that extend beyond already understood Cox inhibitors.   view more (2006-10-02)

Low-dose chemotherapy plus antiangiogenesis drug has activity in advanced breast cancer
Chemotherapy given in low, frequent doses - a novel strategy called "metronomic" delivery - achieved partial shrinkage of disease in some advanced breast cancer patients when given concurrently with an angiogenesis inhibitor.   view more (2005-12-09)

How can identical twins be genetically different?
They sleep together, eat together, and most people find it impossible to tell them apart. Identical twins who grow up together share just about everything, including their genes. But sometimes only one twin will have health problems when genetics predicts both of them should.   view more (2006-07-26)

Scientists Uncover Mechanism of Response to Targeted Therapy in Kidney Cancer
UCLA researchers knew-based on two clinical trials-that a subset of kidney cancer patients responded well to an experimental targeted therapy, but they didn't know why.   view more (2006-01-13)

MIT engineers an anti-cancer smart bomb
Imagine a cancer drug that can burrow into a tumor, seal the exits and detonate a lethal dose of anti-cancer toxins, all while leaving healthy cells unscathed.   view more (2005-07-28)

Systemic treatment before surgery for kidney cancer prolongs patients' survival
Preliminary results from a phase II clinical trial have provided the first evidence that treating people with kidney cancer with bevacizumab and erlotinib before surgery is safe, effective and may prolong patients' survival.   view more (2006-11-09)

New technique appears to stop abnormal blood vessel growth
A manmade protein with a tail of amino acids delivered to target cells can dramatically reduce blood vessel growth that obstructs vision or feeds a tumor, researchers have found.   view more (2005-06-01)

Cancer stem cells spur glioma Angiogenesis, could hold key to brain tumor therapy
Stem cell-like glioma cancer cells that share many characteristics with normal stem cells propel the lethal growth of brain cancers by promoting tumor blood vessel formation, and may hold the key to treating these deadly cancers.   view more (2006-08-15)

Study first: Over-expression of Cox-2 can predict prostate cancer outcome
Researchers say an over-expression of COX-2 in men with prostate cancer is associated with an increase in PSA after radiation treatment and the spread of the cancer outside of the prostate.   view more (2006-11-09)

Humble yeast sheds light on promising anti-cancer drug
The humble yeast has revealed the molecular workings of an anti-cancer drug that stops the growth and spread of tumours in humans by starving their blood supply.   view more (2005-10-19)

Biomarkers of response to VEGF pathway-targeted therapy discovered for renal cell carcinoma
Angiogenesis inhibitors can be far more effective in treating metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer (RCC)-an aggressive form of the most common kind of kidney cancer that is also rich in blood supply-than traditional treatments, according to accumulating evidence.   view more (2006-09-14)

Schepens scientists are first to discover angiogenesis switch inside blood vessel cells
Scientists at Schepens Eye Research Institute, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, are the first to discover a switch inside blood vessel cells that controls angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth).   view more (2006-05-19)

New angiogenesis finding may help fight cancer growth
A researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health has discovered a new part of the complicated mechanism that governs the formation of blood vessels, or angiogenesis.   view more (2006-09-29)

Study identifies new tumor suppressor
A protein called HLJ1 may work as a novel tumor suppressor in non-small-cell lung carcinoma.   view more (2006-06-21)

Blood pressure drugs could help halt pancreatic cancer spread, Jefferson researchers find
Common blood pressure medications might help block the spread of pancreatic cancer, researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found.   view more (2006-12-08)

Study broadens understanding of enzymes linked to tumor promoting molecule
Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have found that two enzymes that catalyze the same reaction and produce the same product have opposite effects on cell growth and death.   view more (2005-11-07)

UK researcher finds 'switching' compound for angiogenesis
For the second time in a week Dr. Jayakrishna Ambati, UK HealthCare physician and associate professor and vice chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, announced a discovery from his lab that will affect the future of macular degeneration treatment and research.   view more (2006-02-03)

Compound reveals new link between signaling protein and cell migration
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers report that a protein that regulates key signaling pathways in cells also plays a role in controlling the active movement or migration of cells.   view more (2005-09-26)

Researchers announce new predictor for lung cancer treatment and survival
Research from the Ireland Cancer Center of University Hospitals of Cleveland has found a promising, novel biomarker that may be used to predict the survival of patients with advanced lung cancer and their response to treatment.   view more (2006-06-06)

Anti-fungal drug stops blood vessel growth
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered to their surprise that a drug commonly used to treat toenail fungus can also block angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels commonly seen in cancers.   view more (2007-04-30)
