Can pomegranates prevent prostate cancer? A new study offers promise
The juice of the pomegranate, say researchers at University of Wisconsin Medical School, shows major promise to combat prostate cancer-the most common invasive cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men. view more (2005-09-27)
Cell-regulating gene may predict survival outcomes for breast cancer patients
A study led by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine has shown that a cell-regulating gene overexpressed in about 30 to 50 percent of all breast cancers is associated with a better chance of survival and increased sensitivity to a cancer-fighting drug. view more (2006-09-06)
New evidence supports century-old theory of cancer spread
A Yale School of Medicine study in the December issue of Lancet Oncology challenges mainstream oncology researchers to consider tumor cell hybridization with white blood cells as a major reason that cancer metastasizes or spreads to other parts of the body. view more (2005-12-13)
