Locating Rare Pancreatic Tumors With New Imaging Technique
May 09, 2012
A non-invasive way to detect the exact location of very small life-threatening tumors in the pancreas (insulinomas) has been discovered by a team of researchers in Switzerland. This new technique will help surgeons to successfully remove the tumors that can be less than 1 centimeter in diameter... Read More
Infection Behind One Sixth Of Cancers Worldwide
May 09, 2012
Around 2 million, or one sixth of new cancer cases worldwide are due to infections that are largely preventable or treatable, says a landmark study published in The Lancet Oncology this week. Infections with certain bacteria, viruses and parasites have already been cited as strong risk factors for specific cancers, write the authors in their background information... Read More
Researcher Finds Pathway Driving Cancer Signals: Protein May Represent A Switch To Turn Off B Cell Lymphoma
May 09, 2012
Researchers studying the molecular signals that drive a specific type of lymphoma have discovered a key biological pathway leading to this type of cancer. Cancerous cells have been described as being "addicted" to certain oncogenes (cancer-causing genes), and the new research may lay the groundwork for breaking that addiction and effectively treating aggressive types of B cell lymphoma...

The Mystery Of The Missing Breast Cancer Genes
May 09, 2012
Researchers from the University of Adelaide are hoping to better understand why the mutated genes for breast and ovarian cancer are not passed on more frequently from one generation of women to the next. That's despite a documented link between breast cancer genes and increased fertility in women... Read More
Promising Diagnostic Technique To Screen For Breast Cancer, Without X-Rays
May 09, 2012
X-ray mammography is an important diagnostic tool in the fight against breast cancer, but it has certain drawbacks that limit its effectiveness. For example, it can give in false positive and negative results; it also exposes women to low doses of ionizing radiation, which - while accepted as safe - still carry some risk... Read More
