Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus linked to pediatric cancer in Africa
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma is a form of cancer that accounts for up to 74% of malignant disorders in children in equatorial Africa. Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are known cofactors in its development, but to date, their relative contribution has not been well understood. view more (2007-06-08)
When Good DNA Goes Bad: Backward DNA leads to DNA breaks associated with leukemia, study finds
When otherwise normal DNA adopts an unusual shape called Z-DNA, it can lead to the kind of genetic instability associated with cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. view more (2006-02-13)
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)
Chemotherapy can be more toxic to brain cells than to cancer cells and may cause brain damage
Drugs used to treat cancer may damage normal, healthy brain cells more than the cancer cells they are meant to target. view more (2006-11-30)
Mechanism for Epstein-Barr virus protein's role in blood cancers discovered
Earlier this year, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine identified a link between a critical cancer pathway and an Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) protein known to be expressed in a number of EBV-associated cancers. view more (2005-12-27)
Tulane pioneers novel ovarian cancer treatment
The Tulane University Section of Hematology and Medical Oncology is investigating a novel treatment for ovarian cancer by using intravenous Ontak to deplete harmful cells that inhibit the body's natural immune response to fight cancer. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cancer killer of women in the United States. view more (2005-07-18)
Treatment advances for lymphoma have reduced deaths by 70%
New treatment advances for patients with follicular lymphoma, previously considered an incurable cancer, have reduced deaths in the first four years by 70 percent. view more (2005-10-21)
Antibiotics may not be enough to stop recurrent gastric lymphoma caused by Helicobacter pylori
Research led by Dr. Anne Mueller at Stanford University School of Medicine demonstrates that successful eradication of Helicobacter may not prevent future aggressive gastric lymphoma since resting B cells are left behind. view more (2005-08-25)
Firefighters face increased risk for certain cancers
University of Cincinnati (UC) environmental health researchers have determined that firefighters are significantly more likely to develop four different types of cancer than workers in other fields. view more (2006-11-10)
UNMC researchers help make diagnostic breakthrough with Burkitt lymphoma; study detailed in New England Journal of Medicine
An international research study involving the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the National Cancer Institute and 10 other institutions has successfully identified the gene expression signature for Burkitt lymphoma. view more (2006-06-12)
Vaccine for follicular lymphoma
A team of researchers has demonstrated the clinical efficacy and benefits of a vaccine for a type of blood cancer, follicular lymphoma, amongst first time relapse patients. view more (2005-11-10)
MiRNA Fingerprint Identified in Platelet Formation
Scientists have identified a handful of microRNAs (miRNAs) that appear to play a significant role in the development of platelets - blood cells critical to the body's ability to form clots following an injury. view more (2006-03-17)
'Allergy cells' can aggravate cancer and psoriasis
The body's mast cells are mainly associated with allergic reaction in the way they release histamine and other inflammatory substances. view more (2006-09-11)
Promising advance in breast cancer research
Two new drugs, when combined, killed up to 75 percent of breast cancer tumor cells in mice and suppressed the regrowth of tumors, according to researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center. view more (2005-11-15)
Immune system finding paves way for vaccine use in some leukemia, lymphoma cancers
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute have found that an experimental vaccine can prime the immune system to help fight an aggressive form of lymphoma. view more (2005-08-23)
Mouse study reveals human X-SCID gene therapy poses substantial cancer risk
New animal studies conducted at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies show that the only human gene therapy treatment to date considered to be largely successful, is, in fact, riskier than realized. view more (2006-04-27)
Clue found to Epstein-Barr virus' ability to form and sustain tumors
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) have found a viral target that opens the door for the development of drugs to destroy tumors caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). view more (2006-09-06)
Study establishes new class of cancer-causing genes
Over the past few years, scientists have discovered that a new class of genetic regulators called "microRNAs" influences normal human growth and development. Now, researchers have found that microRNAs also play an important role in human cancer. view more (2005-06-08)
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)
Annual Report to the Nation Finds Cancer Death Rates Still on the Decline: Progress in Cancer Treatment Varies by Disease
The nation's leading cancer organizations report that Americans' risk of dying from cancer continues to decline and that the rate of new cancers is holding steady. view more (2005-10-06)
