London, Aug 11 (ANI): Scientists from University of Virginia have developed new light-emitting biomaterial that could improve tumour imaging. (more…)

Washington, Aug 6 (ANI): Melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, and glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer respond very poorly to chemotherapy and radiation. Now, scientists at The University of Arizona are attempting to find natural, biologically active compounds that will sensitise the cancerous tumours to therapy without damaging normal tissue.

Washington, July 24 (ANI): Scientists from University of Utah have identified a genetic mutation linked to hereditary form of a rare neuroendocrine tumour called paraganglioma (PGL). (more…)

Washington, June 26 (ANI): Some patients with large tumours on their larynx may preserve their speech by choosing Chemotherapy and radiation, and avoiding surgery to remove the voice box, according to a study. (more…)

Washington, May 16 (ANI): Low-oxygen regions in prostate tumours can be used to predict the recurrence of cancer in a patient, say scientists. (more…)

Washington, May 7 (ANI): Paving the way for advancement in the field of stem cell therapy, scientists have discovered a method to potentially eliminate the tumour-risk factor in utilizing human embryonic stem cells. Human embryonic stem cells are theoretically capable of differentiation to all cells of the mature human body, and are hence defined as “pluripotent”. (more…)

Washington, Feb 19 (ANI): Researchers from at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Centre have found that a compound used in blood pressure medication may help prevent cognitive loss after radiation therapy in brain tumour patients. (more…)

Washington, February 12 (ANI): A group of scientists have identified a new mechanism whereby tumours develop. The research team led by scientists at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) at the Montreal Children’’s Hospital believe that their finding may lead to an innovative treatment. (more…)

Washington, Feb 04 (ANI): Doctors at UC San Diego Medical Center and Moores UCSD Cancer Center are offering a new minimally-invasive option for treating liver tumours, called microwave ablation. (more…)

Washington, Jan 31 (ANI): A new study has revealed that stress might intensify the progression of melanoma tumors in patients with the particularly aggressive form of skin cancer. For the study, Eric V. Yang, a research scientist at the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research (IBMR), Ohio State University exposed samples of three melanoma cell lines to the compound norepinephrine, a naturally occurring catecholamine that functions as a stress hormone.
