Leukemia: study of twin sisters leads to novel molecular discovery
Feb 10, 2014
According to the National Cancer Institute, 2013 saw approximately 48,610 new cases of leukemia diagnosed in the US. Now, from analyzing the genomes of twin 3-year-old-sisters - one with and one without aggressive leukemia - researchers have discovered a new molecular target that could be used to treat deadly and recurring forms of the disease.

Surprising link discovered between chloracne and a molecule that protects cells against stress
Feb 10, 2014
ETH-Zurich researchers have discovered a new, surprising link between chloracne and a molecule that protects cells against stress: if Nrf2 gets out of control, disfiguring cysts form on the skin.The images were seen all over the world and stuck in the minds of many: in the autumn of 2004, former President of the Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko, was poisoned with a high dose of dioxin.

New combined therapy proposed to treat cancer
Feb 10, 2014
A large part of the effort dedicated to cancer research is directed towards the search for combinations of existing drugs - many of which have already been introduced into clinical practice - that permit higher overall survival rates and improvements in the quality of life of cancer patients.

Clues to cancer pathogenesis found in cell-conditioned media
Feb 10, 2014
Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) is a rare B-cell neoplasm distinguished by its tendency to spread along the thin serous membranes that line body cavities without infiltrating or destroying nearby tissue. Read More
Young female smokers at higher risk of common breast cancer type
Feb 10, 2014
New research suggests that young women who currently smoke and who have smoked one pack of cigarettes a day for 10 years or more have a much higher risk for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer - the most common form of the disease - compared with women who have smoked for a shorter period of time.This is according to a study recently published in the journal Cancer.

Microfluidic platform designed to see how cancer cells invade specific organs
Feb 10, 2014
Nearly 70 percent of patients with advanced breast cancer experience skeletal metastasis, in which cancer cells migrate from a primary tumor into bone - a painful development that can cause fractures and spinal compression. Read More
Daily aspirin use 'reduces ovarian cancer risk by 20%'
Feb 10, 2014
Previous research has suggested that aspirin may help to reduce the risk of breast cancer and melanoma. Now, new research from the National Institutes of Health suggests that women who take low-dose aspirin every day may reduce their risk of ovarian cancer by 20%.The findings were recently published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
