How obesity impacts advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Jul 29, 2013
Obesity increases health risks for many things. Researchers wanted to know the impact of obesity on outcomes of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer... Read More
Blocking a master switch controlling cells' response to low levels of oxygen could lead to new cancer drugs
Jul 29, 2013
Scientists have discovered a new molecule that prevents cancer cells from responding and surviving when starved of oxygen and which could be developed into new treatments for the disease, according to new research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society... Read More
From gold, a new way to control blood clotting
Jul 29, 2013
Using gold nanoparticles, MIT researchers have devised a new way to turn blood clotting on and off. The particles, which are controlled by infrared laser light, could help doctors control blood clotting in patients undergoing surgery, or promote wound healing. Currently, the only way doctors can manage blood clotting is by administering blood thinners such as heparin... Read More
PTEN discovery provides knowledge to individualize cancer treatment
Jul 29, 2013
Scientists at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre have discovered a function of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN that helps explain why certain promising therapies fail in many cancer patients, a finding that could aid in delivering tailored, personalized cancer medicine based on an individual's genetics...

Higher Cancer Incidences Found in Regions Near Refineries and Plants that Release Benzene
Jul 29, 2013
The incidence of a particular type of blood cancer is significantly higher in regions near facilities that release the chemical benzene into the environment. That is the conclusion of a new study published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society... Read More
The taller the woman, the higher her cancer risk
Jul 28, 2013
The ability to reach items on high shelves and easily see through a crowd may no longer have the same appeal for some women. A study recently published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention finds a link between postmenopausal women's height and cancers... Read More

Study Clarifies Surgical Options for Kidney Cancer
Jul 28, 2013
Surgery is often the first step in treating kidney cancer, and new data from the University of Rochester Medical Center, which contradicts earlier research, questions whether removal of only the tumor (partial nephrectomy) is better than removing the entire kidney (radical nephrectomy). The decided trend for the past decade has been toward a partial resection in the case of smaller cancers... Read More
The Holy Grail in label-free cancer marker detection: Single molecules
Jul 28, 2013
Just months after setting a record for detecting the smallest single virus in solution, researchers at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) have announced a new breakthrough: They used a nano-enhanced version of their patented microcavity biosensor to detect a single cancer marker protein, which is one-sixth the size of the smallest virus, and even smalle...

Study features practical solution for MRI-ultrasound fusion to enable tumor-targeted, tissue-preserving prostate HIFU treatment
Jul 27, 2013
Study results published in the current issue of British Journal of Urology International (10.1111/bju.12223) demonstrate that new software to register and fuse information from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) images enables intraoperative visualization of tumors, not ordinarily seen in a US image...
