Multiple myeloma: link to gene involved in aging
Aug 19, 2013
Researchers say that a gene responsible for helping to control the aging process by regulating a "cell's internal clock" may be linked to a type of blood cancer... Read More
New boost for immune system against tumors - study
Aug 19, 2013
Researchers have found a new way to boost the immune system's anti-tumor activity and shown it is safe in mice. They believe their findings will lead to new drugs that target the protein involved so the immune system shrinks tumors without affecting healthy tissue. Dr... Read More
Malaria could be tested early by cheap, portable device
Aug 19, 2013
A device that measures electrical properties of red blood cells is able to detect if they are infected with malaria in the early stages. The researchers hope their findings will lead to a portable and low-cost, yet highly sensitive device that can diagnose malaria on the spot using just a drop of blood... Read More
Major study links ageing gene to blood cancer
Aug 19, 2013
A gene that helps control the ageing process by acting as a cell's internal clock has been linked to cancer by a major new study. Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, found a genetic variant that influences the ageing process among four new variants they linked to myeloma - one of the most common types of blood cancer...

Protein biomarkers identified that predict time to ovarian cancer recurrence
Aug 19, 2013
Ovarian cancer often remains undetected until it is at an advanced stage. Despite positive responses to initial treatment, many patients are at risk of tumor recurrence. A multitude of genetic markers have been implicated in ovarian cancer prognosis. However, the genetic testing required is not practical or affordable in a clinical setting... Read More
Scientists find and assess prostate tumors with the help of sugar
Aug 19, 2013
A natural form of sugar could offer a new, noninvasive way to precisely image tumors and potentially see whether cancer medication is effective, by means of a new imaging technology developed at UC San Francisco in collaboration with GE Healthcare. The technology uses a compound called pyruvate, which is created when glucose breaks down in the body and which normally supplies energy to cells... Read More
2 miRNAs found to correlate with survival in urinary bladder cancer
Aug 19, 2013
German researchers have identified four biomarkers that correctly determine malignancy of urinary bladder cancers and contribute to the accurate prediction of patient outcomes. Their results are published in the September issue of The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics... Read More
As many as 1 in 5 women don't believe their breast cancer risk
Aug 19, 2013
Despite taking a tailored risk assessment tool that factors in family history and personal habits, nearly 20 percent of women did not believe their breast cancer risk, according to a new study from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center... Read More
