- Targeting nerve growth factor may cure liver cancer
09-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Biologists led by Dr. Serafino from the National Research Council of Italy published their surprising discovery that NGF and its receptor were aberrantly expressed in the liver of the patients troubled with liver cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These two molecules are not expressed in the liver of healthy people. Published in the October 7 issue of the World Journal of gastroenterology, this article brings a bright future for devising a cure for HCC.

- New cause of tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer cells discovered at Lombardi
08-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
When a woman receives a breast cancer diagnosis her entire life may change in the blink of an eye. But the nature of that change is governed by the smallest alterations that take place within the proteins of the tumor cells, determining what treatments she can pursue with a hope of cure and those to which her cancer is resistant.

- OHSU Cancer Institute researcher identifies protein marker for prostate cancer survival
06-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have identified a protein that is a strong indicator of survival for men with advanced prostate cancer. The C-reactive protein, also known as CRP, is a special type of protein produced by the liver that is elevated in the presence of inflammation.

- 1 surgery better than 2 for some colorectal cancer patients
03-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
A single surgery to remove cancer from both the colon and the liver to which it has spread may be better in some cases than the current standard treatment of two separate surgeries with chemotherapy in between, according to a study led by Duke University Medical Center researchers.

- Decoding gene expression in cancer tumors using noninvasive imaging
05-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
By correlating images of cancerous liver tissue with gene expression patterns, a research team led by a radiologist at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has developed tools that may some day allow physicians to view a CT image of a cancer tumor and discern its genetic activity.

- Molecule blocks gene, sheds light on liver cancer
08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
New research shows how a particular small molecule blocks the activity of a cancer-suppressing gene, allowing liver cancer cells to grow and spread. This molecule is a microRNA, a recently discovered class of tiny molecules used by cells to help control the kinds and amounts of proteins they make. More than 250 different microRNAs have been discovered, and several have been linked to cancer.

- Liver cancer marker could yield blood test for early detection
09-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers report on a new blood screening technique that could make it possible to detect early-stage liver cancer and predict how well a patient will do following treatment. They present their data today at the American Association for Cancer Research' Second International Conference on Molecular Diagnostics in Cancer Therapeutic Development, in Atlanta, Ga.

- Experimental technique at GUMC offers real-time analysis of breast cancer biopsies
11-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
A sophisticated microscope that offers a "real-time" 3-D analysis of tissue samples might, in the future, reduce the number of needle biopsies traditionally needed from women suspected of having breast cancer, according to recent research published at Georgetown University Medical Center's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
