Research suggests omega-3s may help slow prostate cancer growth
06-21-2007 · EurekAlert!Research in mice suggests that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil and certain types of fish could potentially improve the prognosis of men who are genetically prone to develop prostate cancer.

- New research may show why some prostate cancer recurs after treatment
10-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Cancer researchers have long worked to understand why some prostate cancers recur after the use of therapies designed to stop the production of testosterone and other androgens that fuel cancer cell growth. New research has now detected that androgen-synthesizing proteins are present within cancer cells, which suggests that cancer cells may develop the capacity to produce their own androgens.

- Inflammation may play role in metastasis of prostate cancer
03-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Research at the UCSD School of Medicine strongly suggests that inflammation associated with the progression of tumors actually plays a key role in the metastasis of prostate cancer.

- Electric fields have potential as a cancer treatment
08-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Low-intensity electric fields can disrupt the division of cancer cells and slow the growth of brain tumors, suggest laboratory experiments and a small human trial, raising hopes that electric fields will become a new weapon for stalling the progression of cancer. The August 2007 issue of Physics Today describes the mechanisms by which the electric fields do their work.

- Prostate cancer: Watchful wait or vaccinate?
02-01-2008 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed a prostate cancer vaccine that prevented the development of cancer in 90 percent of young mice genetically predestined to develop the disease. In the Feb. 1 issue of Cancer Research, they suggest the same strategy might work for men with rising levels of PSA, a potential diagnostic indicator of prostate cancer

- Blood-vessel blocker aids cancer-killing virus
11-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Cancer-killing viruses are a promising therapy for incurable brain tumors, but their effectiveness has been limited in part because immune cells rapidly eliminate them. That immune response might be slowed, and the virus given more time to kill cancer cells, by blocking the growth of blood vessels in the tumor, new Ohio State research suggests. The study indicates that pretreatment with a drug that blocks blood-vessel growth might improve the effectiveness of cancer-killing viruses.

- A black and white look at breast cancer mortality
02-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers suggest a reason for racial disparity in breast cancer survival rates. African and African American women are much less likely to survive breast cancer surgery than their white counterparts and far more likely to get the disease before the menopause. Previous research suggests that those who undergo surgery for the disease before the menopause are more prone to relapse.

- Compounds that color fruits and veggies may protect against colon cancer
08-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
Understanding the molecular structures of compounds that give certain fruits and vegetables their rich colors may help researchers find even more powerful cancer fighters, a new study suggests. Evidence from laboratory experiments on rats and on human colon cancer cells also suggests that anthocyanins, the compounds that give color to most red, purple and blue fruits and vegetables appreciably slow the growth of colon cancer cells.

- Biological markers of prostate cancer shed light on cancer burden faced by African-American men
11-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers based at Tulane University report the discovery of biological markers of prostate cancer which are involved in the growth of tumor cells, shedding light on the genetic basis for the prostate cancer burden faced by African-American men. The research is being presented today at the American Association for Cancer Research conference on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved, being held Nov. 27-30.

- Breast cancer prognosis runs in the family
06-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
The chances of developing breast cancer are to some extent inherited, but important new findings suggest survival also runs in the family. Research published in the online journal Breast Cancer Research suggests that if a woman succumbs to breast cancer her daughters or sisters are over 60 percent more likely to die within five years if they develop the disease.

- Study proposes new theory of how viruses may contribute to cancer
10-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
A study published in the Oct. 24 issue of PLoS ONE suggests that viruses may contribute to cancer by causing excessive death to normal cells while promoting the growth of surviving cells with cancerous traits. The University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute researchers suggest that viruses may act as forces of natural selection by wiping out normal cells that support the replication of viruses, leaving behind those cells that have acquired defects in their circuitry.
