Ovarian Cancer :: Expert centers prove cost-effective in managing ovarian cancer
A new study finds that while “expert centers” with extensive experience in managing cancer have higher overall costs, the approach is more cost-effective over time than referring patients to a less experienced medical center.
Ovarian Cancer :: Breakthrough vaccine to treat chemo-resistant ovarian cancer
Cancer Treatment Centers of America announced today its plans to launch a new cancer vaccine therapy that expands treatment options for thousands of women with advanced stage ovarian cancer. This innovative treatment will be offered by Cancer Treatment Centers of America and developed by AVAX Technologies, Inc. (OTCMarket: AVXT.OB).
Ovarian Cancer :: Ovarian cancer biomarkers identified
Researchers have identified markers unique to the cells of blood vessels running through ovarian tumors. The finding, while preliminary, could one day improve screening, diagnosis and treatment for this disease.
Cancer :: Researchers analyze new kinds of cancer-fighting antibodies
Two researchers from the University Hospital and the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA) from the University of Navarra have published an article in Nature Cancer Reviews.
Ovarian Cancer :: Ovarian cancer may mimic fallopian tube formation
A new study suggests that ovarian cancer cells form by hijacking a developmental genetic process normally used to form fallopian tubes. Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Ovarian Cancer Institute discovered that the protein, PAX8, is involved in the development of fallopian tubes and is present in ovarian cancer cells, but not in normal ovarian tissue.
Measles :: Investigating the measles virus as a tool to kill multiple myeloma
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center has opened a new Phase I clinical trial testing an engineered measles virus against multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow that currently has no cure.
Cancer :: New Australian centre to combat women’s cancer
A new Australian Centre for Gynaecological Cancers is to be set up by the Commonwealth Government to help combat gynaecological cancer.
Cancer :: Genes that can slow cell division and may fight cancer
Cancer cells differ from normal cells in, among other things, the way they divide. When a normal cell complies with a signal telling it to divide, it also begins to activate a “braking system” that eventually stops cell division and returns the cell to a resting state.
Ovarian Cancer :: Australian women confused about ovarian cancer
An Australian survey commissioned by the National Breast Cancer Centre has revealed half of all Australian women are potentially putting their lives at risk by incorrectly assuming a Pap smear will detect ovarian cancer.
