Chili Pepper Compound & Cancer
July 3, 2018An article written by Ana Sandoiu reveals that research has identified different subtypes of breast cancer that respond to varying treatment types. The so-called triple-negative breast cancer is especially aggressive and difficult to treat but new research may have uncovered a molecule that slows down this type of cancer. The most prevalent form of cancer […]
Cancer Patients & Online Forums
July 2, 2018When people are faced with a life-threatening disease like cancer, they often seek information about the disease and support from peers. Hearing the personal stories from other cancer patients that post online in forums and scientific websites are the very best resources. These will provide comfort during these stressful times […]
Cancer Cells Hijack DNA Repair Networks
July 1, 2018The university of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) scientists have completed research that has revealed how cancer cells hijack DNA repair pathways to prevent telomeres, the end caps of chromosomes, from shortening and allowing the tumor to spread. The findings of this research are published in the journal Cell Reports. When a cell is formed, a […]
Heather Miller recently wrote an article on the effect of cancer causing PTSD, that I found interesting and had never thought of before. It all began when going through radiation and her oncologist asked her to use the moisturizers and soaps that her office provided. There was a very unique smell of rich emollient oils […]
It is predicted that about 135,000 cancer deaths will be reported in the UK by 2035, according to a new report by Sheffield University and commissioned by Cancer Research UK. By 2035 the UK could see about 7,100 cancer deaths every year that are associated with alcohol, along with a tremendous amount of money spent […]
Advance Treatment of Adult Cancer
June 25, 2018The Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RI-MUHC) researchers have found an epigenetic modification that might be the cause of 15% of adult cancers of the throat that are linked to alcohol and tobacco use. The researchers are hopeful that the discovery can pave a path in the development of new, targeted and […]
Anti-Inflammatory Drug & Cancer Relation
June 24, 2018There is an association with the regular use of over-the-counter non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as aspirin and ibuprofen that is associated with an increased risk of dying in patients diagnosed with Type 1 endometrial cancers. This information is revealed by a new population-based study that is led by The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer […]
Many people believe that you will get cancer because someone in your family had it, but that is false. About ½ of men and 1/3 of the women in the U.S. will get the disease at some point. Only about 5%-10% of cases are linked to genes from their parents. The doctors aren’t sure why […]
Priority should be taken over timing to ensure that patients are healthy enough for surgery and have access to specialists. Even though delaying surgery after a diagnosis of uterine cancer can increase a woman’s risk of death, operating too soon can be just as detrimental for some. The Penn Medicine physicians report this information in […]
A component of cancer cells, which act like a cellular post office, was found by the scientists at the Universities of York and Texas could be the key to preventing the spread of lung cancer to other parts of the body. These findings could lead to new therapeutics, targeted at a particular communication mechanism in […]
