Early results using therapeutic pancreatic cancer vaccine show promise
Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center researchers are encouraged by early results of a treatment vaccine for pancreatic cancer, a disease with few options and low odds for long-term survival. view more (2005-11-15)
Study finds stool testing novel technique for detecting colon cancer
Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that an improved version of the non-invasive fecal DNA (fDNA) test to screen for colon cancer (CRC) demonstrates a higher sensitivity for detecting cancers of the colon. view more (2006-05-22)
Jefferson scientists show protein key to bladder cancer spread, potential drug target
By demonstrating that a protein - a growth factor called proepithelin - plays a crucial role in the spread of bladder cancer, scientists at Jefferson Medical College and Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center may have identified a potential target for drugs. view more (2006-07-17)
Vegetables inhibit growth of prostate cancer in mice with human tumors
Chemicals in cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, watercress, cabbage and cauliflower, appear to stop human prostate cancer cells from growing in mice by affecting the expression of proteins. view more (2006-04-05)
Air pollution may increase lung cancer risk
Chronic air pollution may increase the risk of lung cancer, suggests a Norwegian study of over 16,000 men in Thorax. Researchers monitored the health of 16, 209 men from 1972 until 1998. The men, all of whom lived in Oslo, were taking part in long term research on risk factors for heart disease and stroke. They were aged between 40 and 49 at the... view more... (2003-12-03)
Journal of the National Cancer Institute
Women with a relatively rare and aggressive form of breast cancer tend to be younger, have larger tumors, and have a poorer survival rate compared with women with the most common forms of the disease, reports a new study in the July 6 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2005-07-06)
Researchers find better prostate cancer indicators
Researchers at Mayo Clinic have narrowed the search for effective prostate cancer biomarkers (genetic variations that point to a specific disease or condition), identifying changes in the expression of genes of the whole genome closely correlated to prostate cancer development and progression. view more (2006-03-28)
UCL study shows beans beat cancer
Scientists have discovered a new and potent anti-cancer compound in everyday food. The collaborative study led by UCL (University College London) shows that the compound-inositol pentakisphosphate-found in beans, nuts and cereals inhibits a key enzyme (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) involved in tumour growth. view more (2005-09-16)
Largest PSA bounce study eases worry of prostate cancer returning
Prostate cancer patients who have a temporary rise in their prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiation therapy-called a PSA bounce-are not at an increased risk of their cancer coming back any more than those who don't have a temporary rise. view more (2006-11-09)
p53, tumor suppression and aging
In the January 1 issue of Genes & Development, Dr. Mary Ellen Perry and colleagues validate the p53 inhibitor, Mdm2, as a promising target for cancer therapies. view more (2006-01-03)
New research finds direct link between high cholesterol and prostate cancer
Researchers from Italy have found what they believe to be the first direct link between high cholesterol levels and prostate cancer. view more (2006-04-12)
Flavonoids may inhibit prostate cancer
Previous studies have suggested that increased intake of flavonoids which are common in fruits and vegetables may be associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. view more (2005-10-21)
Link found between periodontal disease and pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.; more than 30,000 Americans are expected to die from the disease this year. view more (2007-01-17)
Japanese adults with diabetes have increased cancer risk
Japanese adults with diabetes may have a higher risk of cancer overall and in several specific organs, including the liver, pancreas and kidney. view more (2006-09-26)
Researcher invents lethal 'lint brush' to capture and kill cancer cells in the bloodstream
In a new tactic in the fight against cancer, Cornell researcher Michael King has developed what he calls a lethal "lint brush" for the blood -- a tiny, implantable device that captures and kills cancer cells in the bloodstream before they spread through the body. view more (2008-12-12)
Prevent prostate cancer with antioxidants? Gene pathway may reveal more clues
Scientists from Maryland and New Jersey have identified a molecular pathway in mice that makes prostate cells vulnerable to cancer-causing oxygen damage. The pathway, which is also involved in human prostate cancer, may help determine how and whether antioxidants, such as certain vitamins or their products that reverse the damage, can prevent... view more...

Protein expression holds promise for head and neck cancer detection
The blood of patients with head and neck cancer appears to have unique patterns of protein expression that one day could serve as a screening test for the highly aggressive cancer that is often diagnosed too late, researchers say. view more (2006-05-11)
US cancer mortality continues decline but incidence rises slightly for women
Overall rates of cancer death for both men and women have declined in the United States, and cancer incidence has remained stable among men. view more (2005-10-05)
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)
New study shows women more vulnerable to risk of colorectal cancer from tobacco
A new study of gender and risk factors for colorectal cancer reveals that while both tobacco and alcohol increase risk for colorectal cancer, women who smoke are at higher risk. view more (2005-10-31)
