Women With Advanced Breast Cancer Offered New Hope By Change In Drug Regimen
Aug 02, 2012
A study co-authored by a Loyola researcher and published in the New England Journal of Medicine is offering new hope to women with advanced breast cancer. The study found that combing two drugs that normally are each given as single agents significantly extended the lives of women with metastatic breast cancer... Read More
Interdisciplinary Preclinical Research Reveals Two Drugs With Potential To Help Fight Kidney, Breast Cancer
Aug 02, 2012
A potentially powerful new approach to treating two lethal metastatic cancers - triple negative breast cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer - has been discovered by researchers at Mayo Clinic in Florida... Read More
Gene Discovered That Permanently Stops Cancer Cell Proliferation
Aug 02, 2012
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have discovered a mutant form of the gene, Chk1, that when expressed in cancer cells, permanently stopped their proliferation and caused cell death without the addition of any chemotherapeutic drugs. This study illustrates an unprecedented finding, that artificially activating Chk1 alone is sufficient to kill cancer cells... Read More

Cancer Metastasis May Be Grounded By 'Flightless' Molecule
Aug 02, 2012
New research in The FASEB Journal shows that a molecule called 'flightless' significantly helps control the speed with which cells move through various tissues Thanks to the "flightless" molecule, the spread of cancer from one tissue to another may one day be grounded... Read More

Promising New Therapeutic Target For Aggressive Breast Cancer
Aug 02, 2012
Scientists at Western University have identified a new therapeutic target for advanced breast cancer which has shown tremendous promise in mouse models. The study led by Lynne-Marie Postovit of Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry looked at a protein called Nodal that is primarily found in embryonic or stem cells... Read More
High-Risk Human Papilloma Virus Found With Epstein Barr Virus In Prostate Cancer
Aug 01, 2012
Two common viruses known to be associated with human cancers are both present - and may even be collaborating with each other - in most male prostate cancers, a new study suggests. The research involved examination of 100 specimens of normal, malignant and benign prostate samples from Australian men... Read More
Studying How Antimelanoma Immune Responses Develop During Disease Progression
Aug 01, 2012
In many types of cancer, activated immune cells infiltrate the tumor and influence clinical outcome. It is not always clear where these cells are activated, but results reported in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, indicate that in a subset of patients with metastatic melanoma, they can be activated in the tumor microenvironment...
