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.

T cell vaccine and IDO inhibitor to optimize therapeutic effect in CANCER patients
Published 2008-01-12
|
| 
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.

Combination of chemotherapy and microwave heat treatment Fights Breast CANCER
Published 2007-12-12
|
| 
Treating breast cancer with a type of heat therapy derived from MIT radar research can significantly increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy, according to results from the fourth clinical trial of the technique reported online Nov. 25 in the journal Cancer Therapy.

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.

New sunscreen to prevent and treat UV light--induced skin CANCERs
Published 2007-12-12
|
| 
Chronic exposure to the sun increases the risk of an individual developing skin cancer because UV light from the sun can cause genetic mutations that enable cells in the skin to grow in an uncontrolled manner.

Tumor-suppressor Genes Manipulation Lead To CANCER Resistant Mouse
Published 2007-12-11
|
| 
A mouse resistant to cancer, even highly-aggressive types, has been created by researchers at the University of Kentucky. The breakthrough stems from a discovery by UK College of Medicine professor of radiation medicine Vivek Rangnekar and a team of researchers who found a tumor-suppressor gene called "Par-4" in the prostate.

Enzyme Mutation May Have Application Against CANCER
Published 2007-12-11
|
|
The cellular mechanism that turns DNA into all of the thousands of proteins that make up a human body is itself both intricate and interesting. A key player in the process--called transcription--is the enzyme RNA polymerase III. A new study reports that a mutation of this enzyme prevents cell division, but surprisingly, only affects the development of specific organs. It may also have a therapeutic application against cancer.

Cryoablation to offer durable pain relief of CANCER that has spread to bone
Published 2007-12-11
|

Alcohol and tobacco use Don't Increase HPV-related CANCER Risk
Published 2007-12-11
|
| 
Heavy smoking and drinking are known to cause head and neck cancer. Infection with human papilloma virus type 16 (HPV16), a common strain of the sexually-transmitted HPV virus, is another known risk factor for head and neck cancer, which affects about 500,000 people each year worldwide.

African-American Men to be diagnosed with prostate CANCER at an advanced stage
Published 2007-12-11
|
|
Obesity and diabetes might mask the onset of prostate cancer in African American men, making it difficult to detect early-stage and treatable prostate cancer in a population of men already prone to aggressive cancer, according to researchers at Vanderbilt University. Their findings examine the link between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) -- a blood marker which at elevated levels indicates the presence of prostate cancer-- and biological markers for obesity and diabetes.

Reporting Symptoms Online In Real Time May Help CANCER Patients
Published 2007-12-11
|
|
Traditionally, clinicians have relied on information provided by cancer patients during their office visits as the primary means of assessing patients' symptoms and side effects. However, potentially serious consequences could arise if important symptoms go unreported during those visits because they occur between appointments.
