Is there a link between childhood cancer and overhead power lines?
Children living close to high voltage overhead power lines at birth may be at an increased risk of leukaemia, finds a large study in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-06-03)
REDUCED LONGEVITY OF ATOMIC-BOMB SURVIVORS (p 303)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET does not support claims that atomic-bomb survivors exposed to certain doses of radiation live longer than comparable unexposed individuals. There have been conflicting claims regarding the biological and health consequences of exposure to low doses of radiation, with reports that some atomic-bomb... view more... (2000-07-19)
New test proves effective in more cancers
Avantogen Limited (ACU:ASX) today announced that cancer researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research (TICHR) and Avantogen Limited have achieved an important milestone towards more individually targeted and effective treatments for cancer patients. view more (2005-10-07)

Deakin University scientists have identified a protein that could hold the key to new leukaemia treatments. view more (2006-11-07)
Infections are a major cause of childhood cancer, study suggests
Results from a new study of childhood cancer statistics provide further evidence that common infections affecting mother and baby could play a key role in triggering certain types of the disease. view more (2005-12-13)
Scientists question folic acid fortification
Scientists at the Institute of Food Research have highlighted possible consequences of fortifying flour with folic acid due to new evidence of how it is absorbed by the body. view more (2007-11-05)

Overweight and obesity cause 6,000 cancers a year in UK women
The study shows that overweight and obese women in the UK are at a higher risk of developing and dying from cancer. In fact, the researchers estimate that 5% of all cancers (about 6,000 annually) are attributable to being overweight or obese. view more (2007-11-07)
University study shows low radiological risk to the public around atomic sites
A study team led by experts at the University of Southampton has found that there is no significant risk to the public from radioactive contamination from the Atomic Weapons Establishments at Aldermaston and Burghfield in West Berkshire. The three-year environmental radioactivity project, carried out by the University's Geosciences Advisory Unit... view more... (2002-08-07)
GENETIC EVIDENCE FOR LINK BETWEEN COSMIC RADIATION AND LEUKAEMIA IN AIRCREW (p 2158)
The association between exposure to cosmic radiation and leukaemia among aircrew is strengthened by genetic research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Previous research by Maryanne Gundestrup and colleagues from the Institute of Cancer Epidemiology, Copenhagen, Denmark (Radiation-induced acute myeloid leukaemia and other cancers in... view more...

Researchers identify cells that make relapse inevitable in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
In "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about the good and evil sides of the same person; now scientists in Australia have discovered that in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) there are Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde cells - "good" and "evil" clones of the same type of ALL cell. view more (2006-11-09)
Genome discovery will help combat disease and lead to new drugs
An international consortium of researchers led by the University of Manchester has cracked the gene code behind a key family of fungi, which includes both the leading cause of death in leukaemia and bone marrow transplant patients and an essential ingredient of soy sauce. view more (2005-12-22)
First evidence of gene therapy for abnormal blood vessel growth in newborns
The first evidence of the potential for gene therapy to treat eye disease that stems from abnormal blood vessel growth is revealed in research published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. Gene therapy is a relatively new and much heralded therapeutic approach. But despite the advances in molecular genetics, attempts to target organs or... view more... (2001-07-18)
Cancer Gene Radiation Therapy Discovery
Dr Tracy Robson, a lecturer in molecular radiation science at the University's Jordanstown campus, has isolated a novel gene, called DIR-1, which can alter a tumour cell's susceptibility to radiation therapy. view more (1999-09-20)
Allergy - cancer link
Some allergic conditions could increase your risk of suffering from blood cancer as an adult, according to a new study published this week in BMC Public Health. This is important news for the increasingly large numbers of allergy sufferers worldwide. view more (2004-11-03)
UAB Researchers Discover a New Mechanism Involved in Predisposition to Cancer
A team of researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has discovered a new mechanism that accelerates the shortening of telomeres (structures that protect the ends of chromosomes) involved in genetic instability and a predisposition to cancer. The research has been published in the journal Human Molecular Genetics. view more (2002-02-26)
