Background Preoperative cisplatin alone may be as effective as cisplatin plus doxorubicin in standard-risk hepatoblastoma (a tumor involving three or fewer sectors of the liver that is associated ...
- MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY: ONCOLOGICAL GYNECOLOGY: -Metals could forge new cancer drug: -Amide linkage isomerism as an activity switch for organometallic Osmium and Ruthenium anticancer
Drugs made using unusual metals could form an effective treatment against colon and ovarian cancer, including cancerous cells that have developed immunity to other drugs, according to research at the ...
- PALIATIVE MEDICINE AND PSYCHIATRY: -Dying from dementia
As a teenager, I had the unfortunate but ultimately career-shaping experience of watching my maternal grandmother decline from Alzheimer's disease. She resided in a nursing home, where her final ...
- MOLECULAR ONCOLOGY: -Overexpressed protein converts noninvasive breast cancer into invasive disease
Active, but non-invasive breast cancer is set free to roam as invasive breast cancer when an overexpressed protein converts it to a different cell type, scientists at The University of Texas M. D. ...
- ONCOLOGY: -ADVANCES IN LUNG CANCER: -Advances in lung cancer research announced at conference

- BIO-ONCOLOGY: -Conaway Lab uncovers function of potential cancer-causing gene product
Stowers Institute's Conaway Lab has uncovered a previously unknown function of a gene product called Amplified in Liver Cancer 1 (Alc1), which may play a role in the onset of cancer. The work was ...
- BIO-ONCOLOGY: -Tumor mutations can predict chemo success -Genetic profiling of tumors could have -immediate impact- on treating cancer
New work by MIT cancer biologists shows that the interplay between two key genes that are often defective in tumors determines how cancer cells respond to chemotherapy. The findings should have an ...
- CANCER PREVENTION: -Virus may affect survival in head and neck cancer
Infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) may improve survival in patients with head and neck cancer, U.S. researchers report. They said the finding may explain why black Americans, who have far ...
- CÁNCER: -Intense daily workout may keep cancer at bay
