Physical Activity Reduces Breast Cancer Risk

By on Thursday, May 9th, 2013 | No Comments

Breast cancer risk can be reduced through physical activity, according to new data published in a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, called Cancer Epidemiology. Aerobic exercise may prove to be a very effective means of lowering one’s risk of developing breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in females worldwide…

Experimental drug inhibits growth in all stages of common kidney cancer

By on Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 | No Comments

Researchers have discovered a protein that is overly active in every human sample of kidney cancer they examined. They also found that an experimental drug designed to block the protein’s activity significantly reduced tumor growth in animals when used alone. Combining it with another drug already used to treat the cancer improved the effectiveness of both.

Gene Identified That Mediates Cisplatin Resistance In Ovarian Cancer

By on Wednesday, April 17th, 2013 | No Comments

Platinum compounds, such as cisplatin and carboplatin, induce DNA cross-linking, prohibiting DNA synthesis and repair in rapidly dividing cells. They are first line therapeutics in the treatment of many solid tumors, but cancer cells frequently develop resistance to these drugs. Mechanisms of resistance typically include reduced platinum uptake and increased platinum export…

Alcohol consumption has no impact on breast cancer survival, study suggests

By on Wednesday, April 10th, 2013 | No Comments

Although previous research has linked alcohol consumption to an increased risk of developing breast cancer, a new study has found that drinking before and after diagnosis does not impact survival from the disease. In fact, a modest survival benefit was found in women who were moderate drinkers before and after diagnosis due to a reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, a major cause of mortality among breast cancer survivors.

Intermittent treatment with vemurafenib may prevent lethal drug resistance in melanoma

By on Monday, April 8th, 2013 | No Comments

Vemurafenib-resistant tumors in patients with melanoma showed reduced growth after cessation of treatment, and in animal models, drug resistance was prevented by intermittent treatment, according to new data.

‘Novel, effective’ brain cancer treatment using genetic material from bone marrow cells

By on Monday, April 1st, 2013 | No Comments

In a first-of-its-kind experiment using microvesicles generated from mesenchymal bone marrow cells (MSCs) to treat cancer, neurological researchers have discovered a novel approach for treatment of tumor. Specifically, the research team found that introducing genetic material produced by MSCs, significantly reduced a particularly resistant form of malignant brain tumor in living lab rats.

Aspirin may lower melanoma risk

By on Tuesday, March 12th, 2013 | No Comments

A new study has found that women who take aspirin have a reduced risk of developing melanoma — and that the longer they take it, the lower the risk. The findings suggest that aspirin’s anti-inflammatory effects may help protect against this type of skin cancer.

Visceral Fat Causally Linked To Intestinal Cancer

By on Wednesday, March 6th, 2013 | No Comments

Loss of fat by surgical removal or a calorierestricted diet reduced likelihood of developing intestinal tumors. Differences were found between male and female mice. Study emphasizes the need for strategies to reduce visceral fat…

Corticorelin Acetate Has Steroid-Sparing Effect in Brain Cancer

By on Thursday, February 7th, 2013 | No Comments

Corticorelin acetate administration to patients with peritumoral brain edema allows the reduction of steroid doses and is associated with reduced incidence and severity of steroid-induced myopathy and other steroid-related adverse effects, according to research published online Feb.
