Researchers advance findings on key gene related to cancer metastasis
Feb 04, 2014
New evidence reported by researchers at Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) lends support to the hypothesis that the SSeCKS/AKAP12 gene is a key inhibitor of prostate cancer metastasis. Read More
World Cancer Day: Half don't know about link between diet and cancer
Feb 04, 2014
Around half of Britons don't recognise the importance of diet in protecting against cancer, demonstrating that many of the myths about the disease are still widely believed.The YouGov poll commissioned by World Cancer Research Fund for World Cancer Day found that 49 per cent do not know that diet affects people's risk of getting cancer.

Protocol developed to harvest mouse cell lines for melanoma research
Feb 04, 2014
Dartmouth researchers have developed a protocol that permits cells harvested from melanoma tumors in mice to grow readily in cell culture. Their findings were published in an article, Multiple murine BRafV600E melanoma cell lines with sensitivity to PLX4032, in the journal Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research. Read More
Our bodies kill 'spontaneous' blood cancers on a daily basis: discovery could lead to development of early diagnostic test
Feb 04, 2014
Immune cells undergo 'spontaneous' changes on a daily basis that could lead to cancers if not for the diligent surveillance of our immune system, Melbourne scientists have found. Read More
Stem cell signal linked with cancer growth
Feb 04, 2014
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a protein critical to hematopoietic stem cell function and blood formation. The finding has potential as a new target for treating leukemia because cancer stem cells rely upon the same protein to regulate and sustain their growth.Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to all other blood cells.

Factors produced in inflammatory cells may reawaken dormant prostate cancer cells
Feb 04, 2014
Researchers in the Cedars-Sinai Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute discovered in pre-clinical models that dormant prostate cancer cells found in bone tissue can be reawakened, causing metastasis to other parts of the body. Understanding this mechanism of action may allow researchers to intervene prior to disease progression. Read More
