- White blood cell booster may help cancer patients avoid deadly complications
07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Cancer patients who receive a drug that stimulates the growth of infection-fighting white blood cells may be significantly less likely to die from a chemotherapy-related complication characterized by fever and low white blood cell levels, according to a multi-institutional study led by researchers from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and the Duke University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

- How cancer spreads by aggregating platelets
08-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have provided new details about how cancer cells spread by surrounding themselves with platelets -- the blood cells needed for blood clotting. These results could help design new drugs that prevent cancer cells from metastasizing, or spreading throughout the body.

- Education program leads to lasting improvement of cancer knowledge in African-Americans
10-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Disparities in access to health care and education hinder minorities and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations from receiving needed cancer services and often delay cancer diagnoses. To determine the lasting impact of cancer education geared toward African-Americans, researchers with the University of Pittsburgh designed an outreach program that consisted of three education sessions. Study participants showed high levels of interest in cancer-related issues and notable retention and improvement in their knowledge about cancer after four months.

- Technology captures tumors'genetic profile, guides cancer treatment
02-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study led by Boston researchers provides the first demonstration of a practical method of screening tumors for cancer-related gene abnormalities that might be treated with "targeted" drugs. The findings may help relieve a bottleneck between scientists' expanding knowledge of the genetic mutations associated with cancer and the still nascent ability of doctors to use that knowledge to benefit patients.

- Zinc transporters regulate pancreatic cancer
11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Zinc, an important trace element for healthy growth and development, can be related to pancreatic cancer. Too much ZIP4, a molecule that enables the transport of zinc into cells, promotes the growth and spread of pancreatic tumors cells, said a group of researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Florida in Gainesville, in a report which appears online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
