Tumor cells that border normal tissue are told to leave
The thin, single-cell boundary where a tumor meets normal tissue is the most dangerous part of a cancer according to a new study by scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-01-11)
Listening to the sound of skin cancer
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia can now detect the spread of skin cancer cells through the blood by literally listening to their sound. view more (2006-10-17)
Scientists discover new gene responsible for spread of cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have identified a new gene that causes the spread of cancer. view more (2006-03-29)
Cancer cell communication exposed
The discovery, by scientists at Monash University and the Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, of how communication between cancer cells is controlled has promised new treatment options for malignant tumours. view more (2005-10-31)
Core needle biopsy gives an accurate picture of gene expression in whole tumor
The gene expression profile detected in the core needle biopsy of a breast tumour is representative of gene expression in the whole tumour. view more (2006-08-21)
Curcumin halts spread of breast cancer in mice
Curcumin, the main ingredient of turmeric and the compound that gives curry its mustard-yellow color, inhibits metastasis to the lungs of mice with breast cancer. view more (2005-10-17)
Researchers identify gene set linked to breast cancer's spread to lungs
In a potential advance for the treatment of aggressive breast cancer, scientists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) have identified a set of genes in breast tumors that appear to predict if the disease will spread to the lungs and, once there, how virulent it will become. view more (2005-07-28)
Tumor size related to lung cancer spread
Smaller tumors in the lungs appear to be less likely to have spread than larger tumors among patients with asymptomatic lung cancer, suggesting that early screening may be useful in detecting cancers that are still curable. view more (2006-02-14)
A new pharmaceutical drug that halts progress of metastatic kidney cancer
Research has shown the efficacy of a pharmaceutical drug known as sunitinib which halts progress of metastatic kidney cancer. view more (2007-03-02)
Post-pregnancy events promote breast tumor metastasis
Changes in the tissue environment of the breast that occur after pregnancy promote the metastasis of breast tumor cells. view more (2006-02-03)
Combination scanner may increase accuracy in detecting spread, recurrence of head, neck cancer
A highly powerful scanner combining two state-of-the-art technologies - computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) - may detect the spread of head and neck cancer more accurately than other widely used imaging examinations. view more (2005-07-28)
Mouse model aids discovery of novel melanoma metastasis gene
Researchers from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a novel gene that facilitates the spread of malignant melanoma, a life-threatening skin cancer, using a technique they say can speed the discovery of hard-to-find cancer genes. view more (2006-06-30)
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)
Promising cell protein may play role in infection and dry eye
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 2 (PAI-2), a protein found in various cell types including the skin, has been discovered in the tissue covering the eye and may have future clinical implications in various pathologies of the ocular surface such as eye infection or dry eye. view more (2006-05-17)
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)
Cancer researchers describe gene that halts spread of aggressive childhood cancer
A team of cancer researchers has shown that a gene commonly lost during neuroblastoma tumor formation, one of the most aggressive cancers in babies and children, is in fact a "metastasis suppressor" gene. view more (2006-01-05)
Mayo Clinic researchers discover cancer cells may move via wave stimulation
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new cellular secret that may explain how certain cancers move and spread - a feature of cancers that makes treatment especially difficult. view more (2006-04-03)
New genetic test predicts risk of metastasis in patients with deadly eye cancer
Imagine being diagnosed with eye cancer - but your doctor can't tell whether you have the aggressive type that will swiftly spread, causing blindness and death in as early as a year. view more (2006-11-15)
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)
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)
