Confirming The Efficacy Of CT Colonography As A Front Line Colorectal Cancer Screening Tool For Seniors
Feb 25, 2012
Computerized tomographic (CT) colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, is comparable to standard colonoscopy in its ability to accurately detect cancer and precancerous polyps in people ages 65 and older, according to a paper published online in Radiology... Read More
Cancer - Some Referred To Specialists Later
Feb 24, 2012
A recent study, published Online First in The Lancet Oncology, reveals that although 77% of cancer patients who have strange symptoms are usually sent to the hospital after 1 or 2 consultations, non-white patients, young people, women, and people with uncommon cancers often see their doctors 2 to 3 times before being referred to a cancer specialist...

How Cancer Cells Change When They Leave Original Site
Feb 24, 2012
A study by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College reveals the vital steps cancer cells undertake after they convert themselves in order to detach from a tumor and metastasize. The study published online and in the upcoming issue of Cancer Research, highlights how cancer cells reverse the process, and switch back into classical cancer that can evolve into a new tumor...

Australia Needs A More Effective Process To Reduce Exposure To Carcinogens
Feb 24, 2012
A report in the February 20 issue of the Medical Journal of Australia reveals that the country needs a more effective process to reduce exposure to carcinogens in order to lower the number of work-related cancers. Each year in Australia, it is estimated that approximately 5,000 cancers can be attributed to occupational exposure to cancer-causing agents... Read More
Innovative Approach Stops Disease-Fueling Inflammation In Lab Tests
Feb 24, 2012
Scientists have developed a unique compound that in laboratory tests blocks inflammation-causing molecules in blood cells known to fuel ailments like cancer and cardiovascular disease without causing harmful toxicity... Read More
How Cancer Cells Change Once They Spread To Distant Organs
Feb 24, 2012
Oncologists have known that in order for cancer cells to spread, they must transform themselves so they can detach from a tumor and spread to a distant organ. Now, scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College have revealed critical steps in what happens next - how these cells reverse the process, morphing back into classical cancer that can now grow into a new tumor...

Muscle Regeneration May Provide Ideal Environment For Rhabdomyosarcoma
Feb 24, 2012
Inflammation, cell division and cell differentiation that occur during skeletal muscle regeneration may provide an ideal environment for the highly malignant tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma to arise. These are the findings from a Nationwide Children's Hospital study that examined rhabdomyosarcoma growth in mouse models of muscular dystrophy... Read More
Insight Into Cancer Progression
Feb 24, 2012
The University of Kentucky has announced that Dr. Daret St. Clair, the James Graham Brown Endowed Chair and professor of toxicology, has published the first comprehensive study that provides insight into the relationship between two types of suppressors in cancerous tumors. The results will enhance the understanding of transcriptional mechanisms in carcinogenesis... Read More
