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)

Gemcitabine and capecitabine improved overall survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer
The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is poor but new therapies such as gemcitabine have contributed to improving the outcome for patients.   view more (2005-11-03)

Ultraviolet B light exposure associated with increased risk of skin cancer
A decreased ability to repair chromosomal damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation in test tubes may be associated with an increased risk of the common skin cancers basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but not of melanoma.   view more (2005-12-21)

Omega-3 fatty acids inhibit growth of liver cancer cells
Two new studies by a University of Pittsburgh research team suggest that omega-3 fatty acids-substances that are found in high concentrations in fish oils and certain seeds and nuts-significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells.   view more (2006-04-03)

Drinking very hot tea can increase the risk of throat cancer
People are advised to wait a few minutes before drinking a cup of freshly-boiled tea today as a new study, published on bmj.com, finds that drinking very hot tea (70°C or more) can increase the risk of cancer of the oesophagus, the muscular tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach.   view more (2009-03-27)

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)

Study details hepatitis C ability to block immune system response
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a worldwide public health problem. The World Health Organization estimates that 170 million people worldwide are chronically infected and that between 3-4 million are newly infected annually.   view more (2006-05-19)

New clues for treatment of liver cancer
By generating tumors in laboratory mice that mimic human liver cancer and by comparing the DNA of mouse and human tumors, researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified two genes that are likely to play a role in the third leading cause of human cancer deaths.   view more (2006-06-29)

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. Jes√∫s Garc√≠a-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)

Cycles of cell death, proliferation key to liver cancer
Research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine shows that liver cancer is likely caused by cycles of liver cell death and renewal.   view more (2006-06-23)

Skin cancer rare - but more deadly - in people with darker skin
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) shows that dark-skinned people-commonly thought to be "immune" to most skin cancers-are more likely than whites to die from skin cancer and its related complications.   view more (2006-07-28)

Researchers map infectious hepatitis B virus
Using electron cryomicroscopy and computer image analysis, the scientists visualized two intermediate forms of the virus that exist within infected cells. In addition, they were able to determine a three-dimensional map by analysis of infectious hepatitis B virus isolated from patient blood samples.   view more (2006-06-26)

Melanoma risk only partially associated vith exposure to UVB from sunlight
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found that the risk of developing melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, is only partially associated with exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, the rays in sunlight that increase in summer and cause sunburn.   view more (2005-12-21)

Liver Cancer Linked to Cellular Repair Pathway
The unchecked activity of a cell signaling pathway crucial in embryonic development and the liver's response to injury leads to liver cancer.   view more (2006-03-30)

Mayo researchers discover immune system blocker at work in kidney cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a new and deadly player in the most common form of kidney cancer. They've shown that the molecule B7-H4 helps renal cell carcinoma (RCC) grow and spread by blocking the immune system.   view more (2006-06-30)

Speeding discovery of the 'human cancer genome'
Two gene discoveries announced in separate reports in the June 30, 2006 issue of Cell highlight one way to speed through the human genome in search of those genes most important for spawning cancer.   view more (2006-06-29)

Fatty acids and caveolin-1 are essential in liver regeneration
Liver regulates lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolism. It also segregates a number of proteins and enzymes, and eliminates toxic substances from the organism. Liver regeneration is a mostly unknown process at a molecular level, although it is essential for the good functioning of the liver, and indispensable in order to carry out some... view more...

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)

High risk of breast cancer associated with genetic variation in leptin and its receptor
Individuals with either of two genetic variations that lead to high serum levels of the cytokine leptin and to overexpression of leptin in fatty tissue, are more at risk of developing breast cancer than others.   view more (2006-02-21)
