New Research Suggests Friendly Bacteria May Shrink Tumours
Apr 05, 2013
Friendly bacteria commonly found in probiotic drinks could be used to shrink tumours, according to new research published in the International Journal of Medical Microbiology. Researchers, from the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland and Sonidel Ltd. in Dublin, Ireland, looked at the effect on tumours of the common Lactobacillus casei. L... Read More
Fatty Acid Metabolite Shows Promise Against Cancer In Mice
Apr 05, 2013
UC Davis discovery demonstrates mechanism in dietary omega-3 fatty acids (fish oils) A team of UC Davis scientists has found that a product resulting from a metabolized omega-3 fatty acid helps combat cancer by cutting off the supply of oxygen and nutrients that fuel tumor growth and spread of the disease...

Apr 05, 2013
Cancer painfully ends more than 500,000 lives in the United States each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The scientific crusade against cancer recently achieved a victory under the leadership of University of Missouri Curators' Professor M. Frederick Hawthorne... Read More
Intermittent Androgen Deprivation Not Equivalent To Continuous Treatment For Prostate Cancer, May Compromise Survival
Apr 05, 2013
Taking a break from hormone-blocking prostate cancer treatments once the cancer seems to be stabilized is not equivalent to continuing therapy, a new large-scale international study finds... Read More
Cancer Cells Resistant To Cisplatin Are Sensitive To Experimental Anticancer Drugs, PARP Inhibitors
Apr 05, 2013
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors may be a novel treatment strategy for patients with cancer that has become resistant to the commonly used chemotherapy drug cisplatin, according to data from a preclinical study published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research...

New System Improving Understanding Of The Fundamental Genetic Principles Of Metastasis
Apr 05, 2013
A new system for isolating rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) - living solid tumor cells found at low levels in the bloodstream - shows significant improvement over previously developed devices and does not require prior identification of tumor-specific target molecules... Read More
Stillbirth Or Pre-Term Birth Outcomes Linked To Elevated Risk Of Blood Clots After Pregnancy
Apr 04, 2013
Newly identified pregnancy-related events, such as stillbirth or pre-term birth, may dramatically increase a woman's risk of developing a potentially deadly blood clot immediately after pregnancy, according to the results of a large, population-based study published online today in Blood, the Journal of the American Society of Hematology (ASH)...

Landmark Study Shows Loss Of E-Cadherin Drives Prostate Cancer Progression And How To Restart Production
Apr 04, 2013
Prostate cancer doesn't kill in the prostate - it's only once the disease travels to bone, lung, liver, etc. that it turns fatal. Previous studies have shown that loss of the protein E-Cadherin is essential for this metastasis... Read More
New Diagnostic Technology May Lead To Individualized Treatments For Prostate Cancer
Apr 04, 2013
NanoVelcro Chip device captures and isolates potentially high-risk cancer cells A research team jointly led by scientists from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the University of California, Los Angeles, have enhanced a device they developed to identify and "grab" circulating tumor cells, or CTCs, that break away from cancers and enter the blood, often leading to the spread of c...
