Increase in thyroid cancer in US attributed to improved early detection
Although the incidence of thyroid cancer has more than doubled in the past 30 years, the rise is being attributed to improved diagnostic techniques of previously undetected disease, rather than a true increase in the occurrence of thyroid cancer. view more (2006-05-10)
UC Davis researchers discover genetic switch involved in cells' response to radiation therapy
UC Davis Cancer Center researchers have discovered a genetic switch that causes cancer cells to become more sensitive to a drug administered to enhance radiation therapy effectiveness. view more (2005-11-17)

Study reveals mechanism for cancer-drug resistance
Using the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered a mechanism by which cancer cells become resistant to a specific class of drugs. view more (2006-10-11)
HtrA1 and resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian and gastric cancers
While many cancer patients initially have a favorable response to chemotherapy for the treatment of solid tumors, resistance to treatment often develops. view more (2006-06-09)
Molecular studies in cancer of the colon
According to Dr. Jesús García-Foncillas, Director of the Department of Oncology at the University Hospital (University of Navarra), molecular studies in cancer of the colon will contribute to the establishment of more efficient and less toxic treatments. view more (2005-10-24)
Low-risk prostate cancer patients face overtreatment
Many low-risk prostate cancer patients are being overtreated and might fare better if doctors monitored the cancer until treatment was necessary. view more (2006-08-16)
Study highlights the ramifications of medical misdiagnosis
A new research study shows how common a medical misdiagnosis can be and how severely it can exacerbate a disease. view more (2005-11-07)
Doctors able to predict chance of breast cancer returning
Doctors have created a first-ever computer tool to predict the risk of breast cancer returning in the same breast over a 10-year period in women who have had breast conserving surgery to remove only the cancer (lumpectomy). view more (2006-11-07)

Faults in newly discovered breast stem cells may lead to tumours
Victorian Breast Cancer Research Consortium scientists from The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, using a mouse model, have discovered the rare stem cell that drives the formation of all breast tissue. view more (2006-01-05)
Obesity, history of weight gain could help predict prostate cancer progression
How heavy a man is at the time he is diagnosed with prostate cancer, as well as his history of weight gain, appear to play significant roles in how aggressive his cancer may become, say researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2005-10-03)
Decrease in progression of prostate cancer
Statistics say that one out of six American men will develop prostate cancer and more than a third of them will experience a recurrence after undergoing treatment, putting them at high risk to die of the disease. view more (2006-08-16)
Keeping cancer at bay: Long-term therapy in the fight against multiple myeloma
There is no known cure for multiple myeloma, so its diagnosis means high-dose chemotherapy followed by repeated treatments with each relapse of the cancer - a watch and wait approach. view more (2006-11-06)
Alcohol and cancer: is drinking the new smoking?
Researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have clarified the link between alcohol consumption and the risk of head and neck cancers, showing that people who stop drinking can significantly reduce their cancer risk. view more (2007-09-26)

Researchers have uncovered a significant contributing factor to interferon resistance of malignant melanoma cells. view more (2005-09-22)
Molecular pathway linked to breast cancer recurrence
A study published in the September issue of Cancer Cell provides new evidence for a genetic pathway that is involved in the recurrence of breast cancer and identifies a potential target for development of new anticancer therapeutics. view more (2005-09-20)
Breast stem cells have features similar to 'basal' tumors
The most aggressive form of breast cancer may originate from breast stem cells that have undergone genetic mishaps. view more (2006-07-20)
Potential prostate cancer treatment improvements discovered by researchers at Cedars-Sinai
In a study to be published in the April, 2006 issue of the British Journal of Urology International, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have shown that Raloxifene, a drug commonly used to treat osteoporosis, has a potential clinical benefit in treating men with prostate cancer. view more (2006-03-22)
Mathematics reveals genetic pattern of tumor growth
Using mathematical theory, UC Irvine scientists have shed light on one of cancer's most troubling puzzles - how cancer cells can alter their own genetic makeup to accelerate tumor growth. view more (2007-06-25)
