Small molecule offers big hope against cancer
DCA is an odourless, colourless, inexpensive, relatively non-toxic, small molecule. And researchers at the University of Alberta believe it may soon be used as an effective treatment for many forms of cancer.   view more (2007-01-17)

Study shines more light on benefit of vitamin D in fighting cancer
A new study looking at the relationship between vitamin D serum levels and the risk of colon and breast cancer across the globe has estimated the number of cases of cancer that could be prevented each year if vitamin D3 levels met the target proposed by researchers.   view more (2007-08-22)

Scientists helping to develop the next generation of cancer-beating drugs say they have had a major breakthrough with their latest results.   view more (2006-10-27)

Can dogs smell cancer?
In a new scientific study, researchers present astonishing new evidence that man's best friend, the dog, may have the capacity to contribute to the process of early cancer detection.   view more (2006-01-06)

Role of microRNA Identified in Thyroid Cancer
The presence of only five tiny strands of RNA is enough to clearly distinguish cancerous thyroid tissue from otherwise normal tissue, scientists say.   view more (2005-12-23)

Johns Hopkins Researchers Study Nearly 2,000 Cancer Patients and Detect Unexpected, Additional Malignancies
A team of researchers at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, Md., reports that whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans may help physicians identify new, unexpected malignant cancerous tumors in patients, according to an article in the May issue of the... view more (2005-05-27)

Fizzy drinks increase risk of pancreatic cancer

Lung cancer survival better in women
Women with lung cancer are living longer than men, even when the disease is untreated.   view more (2005-11-02)

Genes involved in cell growth and cell division identified
A recent study shows that hundreds of genes contribute to cell growth and cell division. For the first time these genes, many of which are potential contributors to cancer, have been mapped in a single systematic study.   view more (2006-02-23)

High-vegetable diet linked to protection against pancreatic cancer
In one of the largest studies of its kind, UCSF researchers have found that eating lots of fruits and vegetables - particularly vegetables - is associated with about a 50 percent reduction in the risk of developing pancreatic cancer.   view more (2005-09-16)

Gene therapy may protect normal tissues during radiation retreatment for lung cancer
Gene therapy could be used as an agent to protect normal tissues, including the esophagus and lung, from damage during a second administration of radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer.   view more (2005-10-17)

New radiation technique helps brain cancer patients keep their hair
Patients whose cancer has spread to the brain can avoid typical hair loss (alopecia) when treated with newer radiation techniques, thereby improving their quality of life while still controlling their cancer.   view more (2005-10-17)

Should older men be screened for prostate cancer?
Screening for prostate cancer in older men has been problematic. While this form of cancer can be fatal, it often progresses so slowly that men are more likely to die from some other disease. Aggressive treatments such as radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy may eradicate the cancer but have... view more (2006-05-02)

Researchers zero in on estrogen's role in breast-cancer cell growth
Why do estrogen-dependent breast-cancer cells grow and spread rapidly? Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say it may be because estrogen virtually eliminates levels of a vitally important regulatory protein.   view more (2005-09-12)

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)

Man-made prostate created by women
In a giant step towards understanding prostate disease, Melbourne scientists have grown a human prostate from embryonic stem cells.   view more (2006-02-23)

Yale procedure cuts recurrence of aggressive uterine cancer
A state-of-the-art treatment program developed at Yale School of Medicine increases survival from the aggressive uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) and spares some patients the need for additional therapy.   view more (2005-09-22)

Canine cancer vaccine program shows early promise
It wasn't publicized, other than by word of mouth, and still the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine was overwhelmed with requests.   view more (2006-01-27)

Dragons of hope: Boat racing improves lives of breast cancer survivors
The best long-term therapy for breast cancer survivors might have nothing to do with doctors or self-help books, a health researcher at McGill University says. Her prescription? Dragon boat racing.   view more (2008-02-04)

Rewind, please: Nature paper shows that cell division is reversible
Gary J. Gorbsky, Ph.D., a scientist with the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, has found a way to reverse the process of cell division.   view more (2006-04-13)

Measuring certain enzyme activity in urine shows promise for detection of bladder cancer
Measurement of an enzyme level (telomerase activity) in urine appears useful for detection of bladder cancer in men.   view more (2005-10-26)

Less extensive biopsy method helps diagnose cancer progression of large breast tumors
New breast cancer research shows for the first time that even women with large breast tumors can benefit from a less invasive biopsy method that has been reserved until now for women with small breast cancers.   view more (2005-08-23)

Scientists one step closer to cancer vaccine
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have helped to identify a molecule that can be used as a vaccination agent against growing cancer tumours.   view more (2006-03-22)

UF, Columbia scientists closer to new cancer detection method
University of Florida researchers say they are a step closer to a technique to easily detect a wide variety of cancers before symptoms become apparent.   view more (2005-11-30)

Almost 1/3 of colon cancer patients stop chemotherapy, leading to double the death rate
New research from Columbia University Medical Center has found that as many as 30 percent of patients with stage III colon cancer who were prescribed six months of chemotherapy with a combination of 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin stopped their treatment prematurely.   view more (2006-05-01)
