Salmonella survives better in stomach due to altered DNA
Since 1995 there has been a considerable increase in the number of infections with a specific type of Salmonella bacteria transmitted via food. This type, Salmonella serovar Typhimurium DT104, is resistant to at least five different antibiotics. view more (2007-01-31)
Delay in surgery decreases survival for bladder cancer patients
Bladder cancer patients whose surgery was delayed for more than three months after their diagnosis were more likely to die from their disease than patients whose surgery was performed sooner. view more (2006-03-28)
Scientists identify two key genes linked to aggressive breast cancers
In a new study, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children and Princess Margaret Hospital have shown that two genes called Notch1 and Jagged1 are linked to more aggressive breast cancers and that patients are less likely to survive the disease when these two genes are highly expressed. view more (2005-09-15)
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)
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)
Study shows more than half of esophageal cancer patients now survive
In part because the nature of the disease has changed, nearly 50 percent of patients with esophageal cancer that undergo an advanced surgical procedure now survive for five years, not 20 percent as once thought view more (2006-04-12)
Study drug holds promise as alternative to castration for early prostate cancers
For those unwilling to undergo chemical castration however, results of an international study led by a Medical College of Wisconsin researcher show promise for an oral drug as an alternative. view more (2006-08-23)

Study shows prostate cancer vaccine linked to longer survival
A University of California, San Francisco study has found that men with advanced, often untreatable prostate cancer who received a therapeutic cancer vaccine went on to survive longer than those receiving a placebo. view more (2006-06-30)
Oral Drug Sets a New Survival Standard for Bone Marrow Cancer
Findings from two large, international clinical trials show "unprecedented" survival for patients with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that occurs in the blood-making cells of bone marrow. view more (2007-11-26)
Newer chemotherapies improve outcomes for some types of breast cancer
An updated analysis of findings from three major consecutive clinical trials of breast cancer treatment conducted over the past twenty years indicates that women who have breast cancer with lymph node involvement and estrogen-receptor negative tumors have a lower rate of recurrence and risk of death with treatment with newer chemotherapies. view more (2006-04-12)
Intravenous gene therapy protects normal tissue of mice during whole-body radiation
Gene therapy administered intravenously could be used as an agent to protect vital organs and tissues from the effects of ionizing radiation in the event of large-scale exposure from a radiological or nuclear bomb. view more (2006-11-08)
Mayo Clinic: Gene expression profiling not quite perfected in predicting lung cancer prognosis
While there have been significant advances in the use of gene expression profiling to assess a cancer prognosis, a Mayo Clinic review and analysis of existing lung cancer studies shows that this technology has not yet surpassed the accuracy of conventional methods used to assess survival in lung cancer patients. view more (2006-11-17)
Age is an independent risk factor in young women with breast cancer
A 30 year old woman diagnosed with breast cancer has the same chance of survival as a 60 year old woman with breast cancer according to the latest findings presented today at the European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-5). view more (2006-03-23)
Study finds Tarceva benefits older lung cancer patients
The tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib (Tarceva®) showed encouraging activity with relatively tolerable side effects in elderly, previously untreated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). view more (2005-09-19)
U of MN research shows how infection-fighting cells interact

MR-Guided Laser Effective in Treating Liver Tumors
A large-scale, 12-year study has found that laser ablation with magnetic resonance (MR) guidance is as effective as traditional surgery in the treatment of liver tumors in some patients. view more (2005-11-30)
New Studies Confirm Chest Compressions Alone are Life-saving for Cardiac Arrest
Two large-scale studies published in the Dec. 18 issue of the American Heart Association's medical journal, Circulation, report that the chances of surviving cardiac arrest are no better - and may be worse - when bystanders perform mouth-to-mouth breathing than if they press on the chest without interruption. view more (2007-12-26)
Radical surgery best option for most ovarian cancer patients with cancer in diaphragm
In a retrospective study looking back at a decade of surgeries, Mayo Clinic Cancer Center researchers have determined that surgery to remove metastatic disease from the diaphragm, in conjunction with other procedures to remove the primary diseased tissue in ovarian cancer patients, significantly increases survival rates. view more (2005-10-13)
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)
