New Study Reveals Important Mechanism For Tumorigenesis
May 08, 2013
Cancer is a complex disease, in which cells undergo a series of alterations, including changes in their architecture; an increase in their ability to divide, to survive and to invade new tissues or metastasis. A category of genes, called oncogenes, is critical during cancer progression, as they codify proteins whose activity favours the development of cancer... Read More
New Technique Developed To Track Cell Interactions In Living Bodies
May 08, 2013
Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have developed a new technique to see how different types of cells interact in a living mouse. The process uses light-emitting proteins that glow when two types of cells come close together... Read More
Wip1 Could Be New Target For Treatment Of Colorectal, Breast And Ovarian Cancers
May 08, 2013
Researchers have uncovered mutations in the phosphatase Wip1 that enable cancer cells to foil the tumor suppressor p53, according to a study in The Journal of Cell Biology. The results could provide a new target for the treatment of certain cancers. Like a battlefield surgeon who has to decide which casualties can be saved, p53 performs triage on cells with injured DNA... Read More
Sleep Problems Double Men's Risk Of Prostate Cancer
May 08, 2013
Sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, double the risk of prostate cancer in men, according to new research. The study was conducted by a team at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik and was published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. Lara G. Sigurdardóttir, M.D... Read More
Low-Volume Institutions Experience Inferior Outcomes In Prostate Cancer Surgery
May 08, 2013
The volume of cases performed at an institution each year has a direct effect on the outcome of surgical procedures, and should always be considered when looking at the benefits of a technique, according to a team of researchers at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Those conclusions were presented at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in San Diego... Read More
Detecting Recurrent Lung Cancer At An Earlier Stage Using Minimal Dose CT
May 08, 2013
Lung cancer is associated with very high mortality, in part because it is hard to detect at early stages, but also because it can recur frequently after surgical removal. The question arises as to what is the best way to follow lung cancer patients after surgery in order to spot problems early enough, before symptoms become obvious, so that patients may still be eligible for new interventions...

HPV Vaccine - Young Women Motivated More By STD Than Cancer Protection
May 08, 2013
Young women are more likely to take the HPV vaccine if they are told it protects from a nasty sexually transmitted disease, even though it also protects from potentially deadly cervical cancer, researchers from The Ohio State University and Texas Tech University discovered... Read More
Study Findings Could Lead To Treatments In Cancer, Neurological Diseases
May 08, 2013
Kansas State University scientists helped discover new details about an intricate process in cells. Their finding may advance treatments for cancer and neurological diseases. Kansas State University researchers Jeroen Roelofs, assistant professor, and Chingakham Ranjit Singh, research assistant professor -- both in the Division of Biology -- led part of the study...

Study Shows Protein Complex May Play Role In Preventing Many Forms Of Cancer
May 08, 2013
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a group of proteins that are mutated in about one-fifth of all human cancers. The finding suggests that the proteins, which are members of a protein complex that affects how DNA is packaged in cells, work to suppress the development of tumors in many types of tissues...
