Jun 14, 2013
Using sophisticated techniques to sample and analyze airborne molecules in the odors from human skin cells, scientists in the US were able to detect a unique chemical signature for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer... Read More
New Details Uncovered Of Natural Anticancer Mechanism
Jun 14, 2013
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have identified key triggers of an important cancer-blocking mechanism in cells. Termed "oncogene-induced senescence," this mechanism can block most cancer types, and is commonly experienced when incipient skin cancers turn instead into slow-growing moles... Read More
IOM Standards For Clinical Practice Not Fully Met By Cancer Guidelines
Jun 14, 2013
In an age when evidence-based care is increasingly important, how trustworthy are current clinical practice guidelines? Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center looked at 169 cancer clinical practice guidelines for lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancers and found that none of the guidelines fully met standards set in 2011 by the Institute of Medicine...

Which Women Should Receive Preventive Breast Cancer Drugs?
Jun 14, 2013
A new study, published in the journal Cancer Discovery, revealed that genetic variations could be a key indicator of which women are likely and which are unlikely to benefit from tamoxifen or raloxifene for breast cancer prevention. James Ingle, M.D... Read More
Newly Identified Markers May Predict Who Will Respond To Breast Cancer Prevention Therapy
Jun 13, 2013
Genetic variations, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in or near the genes ZNF423 and CTSO were associated with breast cancer risk among women who underwent prevention therapy with tamoxifen and raloxifene, according to data published in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research...

Study Shows Low Morbidity, Mortality Rates For Patients Treated With Cytoreductive Surgery Combined With Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy
Jun 13, 2013
Researchers at Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) have determined that cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CS/HIPEC), a complex procedure to treat advanced abdominal cancers, can be done safely, and may be an effective therapy for select patients. Study results are published in the June issue of Cancer Medicine... Read More
IU Research Team Identifies Genetic Risk For Cancer In Breast Cells
Jun 13, 2013
An Indiana University cancer researcher and his Canadian collaborator have discovered how normal breast precursor cells may be genetically vulnerable to developing into cancer. David Gilley, Ph.D., associate professor of medical and molecular genetics at the IU School of Medicine and a researcher at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center, and Connie Eaves, Ph.D...

Low Diastolic Blood Pressure May Be Associated With Brain Atrophy
Jun 13, 2013
Low baseline diastolic blood pressure (DBP) appears to be associated with brain atrophy in patients with arterial disease, whenever declining levels of blood pressure (BP) over time among patients who had a higher baseline BP were associated with less progression of atrophy, according to a report published Online First by JAMA Neurology, a JAMA Network publication...
