Clues about how cells become cancerous are revealed in a new catalogue of their physical and chemical features... Read More
Connection Between Chemoresponse Assays And Improved Ovarian Cancer Survival Rates
Apr 29, 2013
This spring, a team of researchers has released results from an eight-year study that shows improved survival rates for women diagnosed with ovarian cancer who undergo cancer tumor testing to determine the best treatment. Part of the team was Richard G... Read More
Potential New Way To Detect Colorectal And Other Cancers
Apr 29, 2013
A unique new study led by University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researchers Guo-Min Li and Libya Gu, in collaboration with Dr. Wei Yang at National Institutes of Health, reveals a novel mechanism explaining the previously unknown root cause of some forms of colorectal cancers... Read More
Exercise Could Hold Key To Cancer Cure
Apr 29, 2013
Regular exercise has been proven to reduce the chance of developing liver cancer in a world-first mice study that carries hope for patients at risk from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The research announced at the International Liver Congress™ 2013 involved two groups of mice fed a control diet and a high fat diet then divided into separate exercise and sedentary groups...

Improved Screening Tests For Liver Cancer
Apr 29, 2013
New data from two clinical trials presented at the International Liver Congress™ 2013 demonstrate substantial improvements in the detection of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC) using diagnostic urine tests. HCC is common throughout the world and most often develops as a late complication of chronic viral hepatitis or cirrhosis of any cause... Read More
Nanoparticles In Action
Apr 29, 2013
The macroscopic effects of certain nanoparticles on human health have long been clear to the naked eye. What scientists have lacked is the ability to see the detailed movements of individual particles that give rise to those effects... Read More
Cellular Secrets May Be Revealed By New Imaging Technology
Apr 29, 2013
Researchers have married two biological imaging technologies, creating a new way to learn how good cells go bad. "Let's say you have a large population of cells," said Corey Neu, an assistant professor in Purdue University's Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. "Just one of them might metastasize or proliferate, forming a cancerous tumor... Read More
Patients' Health May Be Jeopardized By High Leukemia Treatment Costs
Apr 29, 2013
The increasing cost of treatments for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the United States has reached unsustainably high levels and may be leaving many patients under - or untreated because they cannot afford care, according to a Blood Forum article supported by nearly 120 CML experts from more than 15 countries on five continents and published online in Blood, the Journal of t...

How The Tumor Suppressor P53 Is Shut Down In Metastatic Melanoma - And How It Can Be Revived
Apr 29, 2013
Cancer cells are a problem for the body because they multiply recklessly, refuse to die and blithely metastasize to set up shop in places where they don't belong. One protein that keeps healthy cells from behaving this way is a tumor suppressor named p53. This protein stops potentially precancerous cells from dividing and induces suicide in those that are damaged beyond repair... Read More
Researchers Identify New Targets That Cause Abnormal Cell Division
Apr 29, 2013
Blocking certain enzymes in the cell may prevent cancer cell division and growth, according to new findings from researchers at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The discovery is published in the journal Molecular Cell... Read More
