CANCER stem cells are abnormally trapped at an early stage of development
Published 2008-01-21
|
| 
A new comparison of normal stem cells and cancer stem cells reveals that the cancer stem cells are abnormally trapped at an early stage of development. The research significantly advances the understanding of glioma pathophysiology and provides new directions for design of therapeutic strategies that are targeted to specific types of tumors.

AKR1B10 enzyme could be a good marker in diagnosis and prognosis Of Lung CANCER
Published 2008-01-21
|
| 
A group of scientists led by Professor Xavier Parés of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has published new research on AKR1B10, an enzyme that is detected in large quantities only in lung cancers, particularly those caused by smoking. This enzyme can appear even when the cancer has not yet developed and lesions are precancerous.

Patients taking statins may be at lower risk for developing CANCER
Published 2008-01-21
|
| 
Patients taking cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins may be at lower risk for developing cancer, especially lung and colorectal cancers. However, it is unknown whether statins directly prevent cancer.

Stem Cell Transplant and chemotherapy fell out of favor as a therapy for breast CANCER
Published 2008-01-12
|
| 
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, the controversial, arduous, yet once-popular combination treatment that fell out of favor as a therapy for breast cancer, has proven not to be beneficial as an adjuvant therapy for women with node-positive disease, according to an expansive analysis conducted by researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

New information about how normal cells and CANCER cells survive under stress
Published 2008-01-12
|
|
Scientists report that an evolutionarily conserved transcription factor may have both positive and negative effects on the growth of tumors, depending on whether or not the tumor cells have enough oxygen. The research provides critical new information about how normal cells and cancer cells survive under stress.

Certain genetic syndromes associated with risk for CANCER development in children
Published 2008-01-12
|
|
Children with cancer have a higher prevalence of body abnormalities, such as asymmetric lower limbs and curvature of the spine, suggesting that the genetic defect responsible for the abnormality may play a role in the development of cancer, according to a new study.

|
|
Dr. Yukai He wants to put cancer in the bull’s eye. “Cancer really comes from us,” the Medical College of Georgia Cancer Center immunologist says of the scary reality that cancer cells are our own cells gone awry. That means our immune system doesn’t always see cancer as a horrific invader.

A morning gargle could someday spot head and neck CANCER
Published 2008-01-12
|
| 
A morning gargle could someday be more than a breath freshener -- it could spot head and neck cancer, say scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. Their new study of a mouth rinse that captures genetic signatures common to the disease holds promise for screening those at high risk, including heavy smokers and alcohol drinkers.

Anthrax Toxin may someday be an effective CANCER therapy
Published 2008-01-12
|
| 
Most people wouldn't consider anthrax toxin to be beneficial, but this bacterial poison may someday be an effective cancer therapy. Anthrax toxin has actually been shown to be fairly selective in targeting melanoma cells, although the risk of non-cancer toxicity prevents any clinical use.

New treatments targeting microRNAs cellular function and reducing CANCER deaths
Published 2007-12-12
|
| 
Expanding evidence that tiny strands of RNA – called microRNAs – play big roles in the progress of some cancers, UC Davis researchers have identified one that helps jump start prostate cancer cell growth midway through the disease process, eventually causing it to become fatal. The discovery is an important link to finding new treatments targeting this cellular function and reducing cancer deaths among American men.

PET/CT Improves the chances of Women With Deadly Form Of Breast CANCER
Published 2007-12-12
|
| 
Researchers are improving the chances of women faced with an aggressive and difficult to diagnose form of breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer spreads quickly and can be lethal in six to nine months. But by using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT), radiologists and physicists are able to spot the spread of cancer earlier, according to a study presented November 26 at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
