Family of genes linked to the development of LIVER cancer has been identified
Published 2008-04-12
|
| 
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at Stony Brook University Medical Center has identified a family of genes linked to the development of liver cancer. Principal Investigator Wadie F. Bahou, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Genetics, and colleagues discovered in a mouse model that the loss of one specific gene (Iqgap2) in this family causes Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). They also found that when another member of the gene family (Iqgap1) is turned on, a more aggressive form of the disease occurs.

New treatment for LIVER cancer
Published 2008-04-09
|
| 
Liver cancer specialists at Jefferson’s Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia are beginning an 18-month study of a new treatment for liver cancer. The therapy entails injecting tiny beads that emit small amounts of radiation into the liver’s main artery while also blocking the blood supply feeding the cancer’s growth.

Experimental drug tested now in other cancers might offer benefit in treating LIVER cancer
Published 2008-03-31
|

Many scientists believe up to 40 percent of liver cancer is caused by stem cells gone wild -- master cells in the organ that have lost all growth control. But, despite years spent looking, no one has ever found these liver "cancer stem cells" -- or even normal stem cells in the organ. Until now.

A research indicate that Milk Thistle can be used to prevent the LIVER cancer
Published 2007-11-22
|
| 
Recently, scientists demonstrated the anti-cancer effects of silibinin, a major biologically active compound of milk thistle. Being widely used as a folk remedy for liver diseases, milk thistle is safe and well-tolerated, and it protects the liver from drug or alcohol-related injury. Silibinin is highly purified from milk thistle, with a defined chemical structure and molecular weight (C25H22O10, MW: 482.44).

Recent reports have come out regarding the protective effect of coffee against liver cancer. Specifically, Drs. Larsson and Wolk of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm concluded that for every 2 cups of coffee consumed per day, there was a 43 percent reduction in an individual's risk of liver cancer. They analysed 11studies involving 2,260 liver cancer patients and 239,146 individuals without liver cancer.
