• Nitric oxide shown to cause colon cancer

  Researchers long ago established a link between inflammation, cancer and the compound nitric oxide, which may be produced when the immune system responds to bacterial infections, including those of the colon. However, the exact nature of the relationship Read More...

• Marinating 'may cut cancer risk'

  Marinating a steak in red wine or beer can cut down the number of cancer-causing agents produced when it is fried or grilled, research suggests. Meat cooked in this way contains relatively high levels of cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines Read More...

• Bowel cancer link to stem cells

  Scientists may be narrowing down the hunt for the cells which are the source of bowel cancer. When genetic damage was inflicted on stem cells from the intestines of mice, the result was a speedy transformation into fast-growing tumours. UK and Dutch scientists Read More...

• 74% of Oncologists Predict Rising Costs Will Exceed Society's Ability to Pay for Optimal Cancer Care, Shows New Study by National Analysts Worldwide

  In the war on cancer, oncologists report that financial concerns are increasingly altering certain aspects of treatment and may be narrowing patient options. While six in ten (59%) oncologists express optimism about the future of oncology care in the Read More...

• Stem-cell sentry sounds the alarm to maintain balance between cancer and aging

  Like a sentry guarding the castle walls, a molecular messenger inside adult stem cells sounds the alarm when it senses hazards that could allow the invasion of an insidious enemy: Cancer. The alarm bell halts the process of cell division in its tracks, Read More...

• Cancer stem cells: The root of all evil?

  MUCH of medical research is a hard slog for small reward. But, just occasionally, a finding revolutionises the field and cracks open a whole range of diseases. The discovery in the 19th century that many illnesses are caused by bacteria was one such. Read More...

• Cancer Redefined

  In three new studies that could redefine how cancer is viewed, researched, and treated, scientists have created a detailed map of the genetic mutations that underlie two of the deadliest forms of the disease: pancreatic cancer and glioblastoma, the type Read More...
