Men With HPV Infection, Light Skin Color And Sun Exposure At Increased Risk of Skin Cancer
Jun 27, 2012
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues at the University of South Florida and the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg have found that having antibodies for cutaneous types of human papillomavirus (HPV), coupled with sun exposure (ultraviolet radiation) or poor tanning ability, can act "synergistically" in the development of non-melanoma skin cancers such as...

A Story Unfolding Of Prions And Cancer
Jun 27, 2012
Prions, the causal agents of Mad Cow and other diseases, are very unique infectious particles. They are proteins in which the complex molecular three-dimensional folding process just went astray. For reasons not yet understood, the misfolding nature of prions is associated to their ability to sequester their normal counterparts and induce them to also adopt a misfolding conformation...

Childhood Hodgkin Lymphoma - Radiotherapy Does Not Undermine Outcomes
Jun 26, 2012
Researchers have found that limited radiotherapy for children with favorable-risk Hodgkin lymphoma who are responsive to chemotherapy, was linked to a high rate of 2-year event-free survival. The study, conducted by Monika L. Metzger, M.D., of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tenn., is published in the June 27 issue of JAMA... Read More
