Significant Breakthrough Has Implications For Throat And Cervical Cancer
Aug 10, 2012
A major breakthrough by scientists at Queen's could lead to more effective treatments for throat and cervical cancer. The discovery could see the development of new therapies, which would target the non-cancerous cells surrounding a tumour, as well as treating the tumour itself... Read More
Using Heat As A Cancer Treatment
Aug 10, 2012
Research at Bangor University has identified a switch in cells that may help to kill tumors with heat. Prostate cancer and other localized tumors can be effectively treated by a combination of heat and an anti-cancer drug that damages the genes. Behind this novel therapy is the enigmatic ability of heat to switch off essential survival mechanisms in human cells... Read More

No Proven Benefit For PET And PET/CT In Ovarian Cancer
Aug 09, 2012
Only in certain cases are recurrences detected more reliably than with conventional techniques Due to the lack of studies, there is currently no proof that patients with ovarian cancer can benefit from positron emission tomography (PET) alone or in combination with computed tomography (CT)...

"Pancreas In A Dish" Helps Scientists Study How Pancreatic Cancer Forms
Aug 09, 2012
A tiny, living 3-D organ model of pancreatic ducts has been created by researchers in Toronto to help them understand pancreatic cancer, which is one of the deadliest yet least understood of all cancers. This new model could lead to the discovery of new ways to detect and treat pancreatic cancer... Read More
