PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- More conservative treatment, or "watchful waiting" of localized prostate cancer may be why outcomes have improved, U.S researchers said. Grace L. Lu-Yao of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of

New research, 'Modelling cost-effectiveness of high-dose chemotherapy as treatment for relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma in an Australian setting,' is the subject of a report. According to recent research published in the Internal Medicine Journal, "Since 1995 patients with relapsed aggressive

According to recent research published in the American Journal of Clinical Oncology - Cancer Clinical Trials, "This phase I study was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and preliminary efficacy of docetaxel with concurrent radiotherapy (RT), in high-risk

Definitive chemoradiation is a well-established option in the treatment of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The intention of this study was to evaluate its efficacy on cervical lymph node metastases in a prospective studs, after

Fifteen percent of lung cancer cases occur in never-smokers and show characteristics that are molecularly and clinically distinct from those in smokers. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations, which are correlated with sensitivity to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), are

According to recent research published in the journal Human Pathology, "Recently, the fusion gene EML4-ALK was identified in non-small cell lung carcinoma, which could be a potential therapeutic target. We investigated the prevalence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase protein expression in

Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have destroyed prostate cancer tumors in mice by injecting them with specially-coated, miniscule carbon tubes and then superheating the tubes with a brief zap of a laser. The procedure, which used DNA-encased,

Until now, the mode of action of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate (N-BP) cancer drugs, used to relieve bone pain and to prevent skeletal complications in bone metastasis, has been almost entirely unknown. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology

According to a study from the United States, "The only curative option for patients with pancreatic cancer is surgical resection. The potential for significant morbidity and mortality following these procedures along with short-term survival benefit has called into question the

Investigators publish new data in the report 'Outcomes and response to therapy in bladder cancer. Are biomarkers of any help.' According to recent research from Erlangen, Germany, "In oncology patients and clinicians are confronted with the search for measures which

NEW YORK -- GENova Biotherapeutics, Inc., released important information about its innovative method for destroying breast cancer cells, using stem cell technology. GENova's approach is based on cutting-edge technology that enables us to identify the protein expression in the original

MADISON, N.J. and FREMONT, Calif. -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today cleared the OVA1(TM) Test, the first blood test that, prior to surgery, can help physicians determine if a woman is at risk for a malignant pelvic

study has found that even after a diagnosis of colorectal cancer, patients who took aspirin had a much better chance of surviving than non-users. It has long been known that people who take aspirin regularly are less likely to develop

Four non-small-cell lung cancer (NS CLC) registration trials were utilized to develop models linking survival to risk factors and changes in tumor size during treatment. The purpose was to leverage existing quantitative knowledge to facilitate future development of anti-NSCLC drugs,"

Research published in the September 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology has found that narrow-band imaging bronchoscopy increases the specificity of bronchoscopic early lung cancer detection and can serve as an alternative detection device. Past research has shown
