A Double-Edged Sword: How Oncogenes And Tumor Suppressor Genes Can Contribute To Chromosomal Instability
Jul 02, 2013
Cells rely on an intricate network of signaling pathways to govern a number of processes ranging from tissue repair to programmed cell death. De-regulation of signaling pathways is a hallmark of cancer and responsible for driving tumor formation... Read More
Risk Of Breast Cancer Recurrence After Tamoxifen Treatment Predicted By Biomarker
Jul 02, 2013
A biomarker reflecting expression levels of two genes in tumor tissue may be able to predict which women treated for estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer should receive a second estrogen-blocking medication after completing tamoxifen treatment... Read More
The Importance Of Preventing Iron Deficiency
Jul 02, 2013
Iron deficiency is a worldwide problem, especially in developing countries and among infants and pregnant women. In infancy, iron deficiency is associated with poorer cognitive, motor, and social-emotional outcomes. In a new study scheduled for publication in The Journal of Pediatrics, researchers report on a 25-year follow-up of infants studied in Costa Rica for iron deficiency... Read More

Engineers from Queen Mary, University of London have developed the world's most precise computer simulation of how red blood cells might travel around the body to help doctors treat people with serious circulatory problems... Read More
Surgeons Report Melanoma Recurs After 10 Years In More Than 6 Percent Of Patients
Jul 01, 2013
Recurrence of melanoma skin cancer 10 or more years after initial treatment is more common than previously thought, occurring in more than one in 20 patients. However, according to a new study, these patients tend to live longer after their cancer returns than patients whose melanoma recurs in the first three years... Read More

Jul 01, 2013
The recurrence of melanoma skin cancer is more common 10 or more years after initial treatment than experts previously thought, occurring in over one in 20 patients, a new study showed... Read More
After Great Dane Success, Cancer Doc Eyes Brain Tumors
Jul 01, 2013
Two University of Colorado Cancer Center publications set stage for K9 cancer vaccine test with human glioblastoma. Michael Graner, PhD, is a CU Cancer Center investigator and associate professor of neurosurgery at the CU School of Medicine. So when his 12-year-old Great Dane got sick, he knew what to do. "We got Star from the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue," Graner says... Read More
Protein Is Involved With Colon Cancer Cell's Ability To Invade Other Cells
Jul 01, 2013
Understanding how the protein km23-1 enables in the spread of colon cancer may lead to new treatments for the disease, according to researchers at Penn State College of Medicine. Previous research shows that km23-1 is involved in the movement of cancer cells and in the control of specific proteins at the leading edge of moving cells... Read More
Telomere Length Influences Cancer Cell Differentiation
Jul 01, 2013
Researchers from the Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research in Tokyo have discovered that forced elongation of telomeres (extensions on the end of chromosomes) promotes the differentiation of cancer cells, probably reducing malignancy, which is strongly associated with a loss of cell differentiation...

Breast Cancer Biomarker May Predict Recurrence After Tamoxifen
Jul 01, 2013
Some women treated for ER-positive breast cancer are at higher risk for recurrence after completing tamoxifen treatment. Now a new US study suggests that by measuring a genetic biomarker, it may be possible to predict which women will have this higher risk, thus sparing a lot of women from treatment they don't need...
