Leukaemia Patients Will Benefit From Discovery Of Key Function Of Protein For Obtaining Blood Stem Cells As Source For Transplants
Jul 27, 2012
Researchers from IMIM (Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute) have deciphered the function executed by a protein called β-catenin in generating blood tissue stem cells. These cells, also called haematopoietic, are used as a source for transplants that form part of the therapies to fight different types of leukaemia... Read More

Seeking Noninvasive Ways To Detect Lung Cancer Early
Jul 27, 2012
Scientists are looking for non-invasive ways to detect lung cancer in order to reduce the number of patients diagnosed with an advanced stage of the disease. A multiple marker test in peripheral blood is one such way... Read More
Laser Maps And Zaps Cancer Tumors
Jul 27, 2012
Scientists in the US have developed a laser that can locate, map, and then precisely destroy cancer tumors non-invasively. Using a "femtosecond laser" that pulses at speeds of one-quadrillionth of a second, the new "seek and destroy" device focuses on a specific tissue region to find and precisely map a tumor...

What Are The Best Methods For Treating Esophageal Cancer?
Jul 26, 2012
A multi-national team of researchers has found in the world's largest review on the best methods to manage and treat common pre-cancerous and cancerous conditions of the esophagus that good endoscopy equipment, more endoscopic surgery and more tissue sampling is needed to improve patient care. Around 2% of the world's population suffers from Barrett's esophagus... Read More
Following Large-scale HPV Vaccination, Human Papillomavirus Types Do Not Replace Others
Jul 26, 2012
Vaccines against human papillomavirus (HPV) are now recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for both teenage boys and girls. The vaccine protects against the two most common types of the virus that cause cervical cancer: HPV 16 and 18... Read More
Molecular Link Between Arsenic Exposure And Lung Cancer
Jul 26, 2012
Arsenic is a natural element in the environment, sometimes found in air, soil and water. Arsenic contaminated water is a global threat, currently affecting more than 100 million people. Both genetic and epigenetic changes drive arsenic-induced carcinogenesis and lung cancer is one of the main consequences of this process... Read More
