Weak link between Fruit and Vegetable and lowered Cancer risk

The relationship between high consumption of fruits and vegetables and a reduced risk of cancer is not as strong as commonly thought, the findings of a new study suggests. During the study Mount Sinai researchers looked at dietary data from more than 400,000 people and found only a small but significant inverse relationship between high [...]

Development of Chip that can detect Oral Cancer

The gentle touch of a lesion on the tongue or cheek with a brush can help detect oral cancer with success rates comparable to more invasive techniques, according to preliminary studies by researchers at Rice University, the University of Texas Health Science Centers at Houston and San Antonio and the University of Texas M.D. Anderson [...]

Discovery of Genetic variants linked to Biological Aging

For the first time scientists have identified the definitive genetic variants linked to biological aging in humans. In a study published online in Nature Genetics on 07 February 2010, researchers from the University of Leicester and King’s College London have revealed their findings. The new discovery has important implications for the understanding of cancer and [...]

Technology to help in early detection of Cancer

In case of Cancer, the earlier the doctor finds the tumor, the better the patient’s chances of recovery. Now, a new testing method aims to detect the disease in its initial stages, so that more lives could be saved. The new technology is based on a microfluidic chip with tiny channels in which a blood [...]

Schizophrenia Gene May Reduce Cancer Risk

People who inherit a specific form of a gene that gives them schizophrenia may be protected against some forms of cancer, according to a new study by researchers at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research.
The MET proto-oncogene is activated in a variety of tumor malignancies. The gene has recently also been linked to autism [...]

56 percent gets HPV in new Sexual Relationship

HPV transmissions occur at the start of new relationships, according to a new study published in the January 2010 issues of Epidemiology and Sexually Transmitted Diseases. The a first-of-its-kind study researchers have found that more than half (56 per cent) of young adults in their new sexual relationship gets infected with human papillomavirus (HPV) and [...]

Experimental drug may help fight Brain and Prostate Cancers

An experimental drug currently being tested against breast and lung cancer shows promise in fighting the brain cancer glioblastoma and prostate cancer, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in two preclinical studies. The drug’s actions, observed in isolated human cells in one trial and in rodents in the other, are especially encouraging [...]

‘Self-seeding’ of Cancer Cells and Tumor Progression

Progression of Cancer is commonly thought to be a process involving the growth of a primary tumor followed by metastasis, in which cancer cells leave the primary tumor and spread to distant organs. But now, the findings of a new study by researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center shows that circulating tumor cells cancer cells [...]

Nanosensors helps test Cancer Biomarkers in Blood

Soon nanotechnology will help us in diagnosis of cancer and other deadly diseases. A team led by Yale University researchers has used nanosensors to measure cancer biomarkers in whole blood for the first time. Their findings, which appear December 13 in the advanced online publication of Nature Nanotechnology, could dramatically simplify the way physicians test [...]

Potential Cancer Drug brings new hope for Asthma Patients

A new drug being tested to treat cancer could also help patients suffering from asthma, researchers has suggested. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh found that the drug – R-Roscovitine – helps to kill certain immune cells which can exacerbate symptoms associated with asthma.
Researchers studied the effect that the drug had on immune cells [...]
