The Ikerlan-IK4 and Gaiker-IK4 Technological Center have patented a device which is capable of the rapid and effective diagnosis of infectious diseases caused by various bacteria.
Many cancers arise due to defects in genes that normally suppress tumor growth. Now, for the first time, MIT researchers have shown that re-activating one of those genes in mice can cause tumors to shrink or disappear.
Estrogen is known to enhance the growth and migration of breast cancer cells. Now researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have found that estrogen also can shield breast cancer cells from immune cells.
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have developed two strategies to reactivate the p53 gene in mice, causing blood, bone and liver tumors to self-destruct.
A new University of Illinois study shows that tomatoes and broccoli are better at shrinking prostate tumors when both are part of the daily diet than when they’re eaten alone.
Radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery for breast cancer reduces recurrence and prevents development of additional breast tumors in older women with early stage breast disease, according to a new study.
A new study says early termination of the highly effective breast cancer drug tamoxifen may negatively affect treatment efficacy.
Radiation therapy after lumpectomy and five years of treatment with the drug tamoxifen can dramatically reduce the risk of both cancer recurrence and new tumors in older women with early breast cancer.
Giving patients with head and neck cancer a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy controls the cancer and allows many patients to avoid additional surgery to the neck, according to a study presented at the plenary session today at the Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancer Symposium in Rancho Mirage, Calif., co-sponsored by the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Head and Neck Society.
Scientists at Rice University and pediatric specialists at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a new way to use Rice’s famed buckyball nanoparticles as passkeys that allows drugs to enter cancer cells.
