Drug-Resistant Prostate Cancer Treated With New Medication In The Laboratory
Jun 18, 2013
A new drug called pyrvinium pamoate inhibits aggressive forms of prostate cancer that are resistant to standard drugs, according to a study conducted in an animal model. The results were presented at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco... Read More
Discovery Of Source Of Tumor Growth In Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Jun 18, 2013
Researchers have discovered a molecular switch that explains, at least in part, how some fast-growing prostate cancers become resistant to hormone treatment, a new study conducted in human cell cultures and mice finds. The results were presented at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco... Read More

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are presenting several new studies at ENDO 2013, The Endocrine Society's Annual Meeting & Expo (ENDO) from June 15-18 in San Francisco... Read More
Process Of Metastasis Explained By 'Chase And Run' Cell Movement Mechanism
Jun 18, 2013
A mechanism that cells use to group together and move around the body - called 'chase and run' - has been described for the first time by scientists at UCL. Published in Nature Cell Biology, the new study focuses on the process that occurs when cancer cells interact with healthy cells in order to migrate around the body during metastasis... Read More
Previously Unknown Surveillance Mechanism Used By Cells To Monitor Oxidatively Damaged DNA
Jun 18, 2013
In current health lore, antioxidants are all the rage, as "everybody knows" that reducing the amount of "reactive oxygen species" -- cell-damaging molecules that are byproducts of cellular metabolism -- is critical to staying healthy... Read More
Low-Risk Prostate Cancer, Observation Safe And Cost-Effective
Jun 18, 2013
Observation is safe, cost-effective, and results in a better quality of life for patients with low-risk, localized prostate cancer, rather than undergoing immediate treatment, says a study carried out at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The study findings were published in Annals of Internal Medicine... Read More
Low-Risk Prostate Cancer, Observation Is Safe
Jun 18, 2013
"Watchful waiting" is safe, cost-effective, and results in a better quality of life for patients with low-risk, localized prostate cancer, rather than undergoing immediate treatment, says a study carried out at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The study findings were published in Annals of Internal Medicine... Read More
Mathematical Models Being Used In The Fight Against Cancer
Jun 18, 2013
Here's a good reason to pay attention in math class. Nature Communications has published a paper from Ottawa researchers, outlining how advanced mathematical modelling can be used in the fight against cancer... Read More
Growth Of Breast Cancer Cells Halted By Osteoporosis Drug, Even In Resistant Tumors
Jun 18, 2013
A drug approved in Europe to treat osteoporosis has now been shown to stop the growth of breast cancer cells, even in cancers that have become resistant to current targeted therapies, according to a Duke Cancer Institute study... Read More
In The Spread Of Cancer, A Developmental Protein Plays A Role
Jun 18, 2013
A protein used by embryo cells during early development, and recently found in many different types of cancer, apparently serves as a switch regulating the spread of cancer, known as metastasis, report researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center in the journal Cancer Research...
