Study Reveals Huge Genetic Diversity In Cells Shed By Tumors
May 08, 2012
The cells that slough off from a cancerous tumor into the bloodstream are a genetically diverse bunch, Stanford University School of Medicine researchers have found. Some have genes turned on that give them the potential to lodge themselves in new places, helping a cancer spread between organs... Read More

Ancient Remedy Slows Prostate Tumor Cell Proliferation
May 08, 2012
An over-the-counter natural remedy derived from honeybee hives arrests the growth of prostate cancer cells and tumors in mice, according to a new paper from researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester, or CAPE, is a compound isolated from honeybee hive propolis, the resin used by bees to patch up holes in hives... Read More

Researchers Search 'Junk' DNA For Colorectal Cancer Clues
May 08, 2012
Two researchers at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth have helped to identify switches that can turn on or off genes associated with colorectal cancer. The finding offers clues about the development of colorectal cancer and could - potentially - provide targets for new therapies... Read More
HPV Vaccine Completion Rate Among Girls Is Poor, Getting Worse
May 08, 2012
The proportion of insured girls and young women completing the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among those who initiated the series has dropped significantly - as much as 63 percent - since the vaccine was approved in 2006, according to new research from the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston...
