2. New diagnostic technologies offer non-invasive means
   04-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Molecular messages and signals circulating in blood or contained in cells lining the airway can identify early stage cancer, according to research reported today at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. Scientists looking to apply basic science knowledge to medical practice are developing tests that diagnose, predict or monitor cancer risks, without invasive tissue sampling. Such tests could benefit all, particularly underserved populations, such as the poor, who often wait until symptoms appear before seeing a doctor.

5. Study -- 'Wrapping' Gleevec fights drug-resistant cancer
   05-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A study in this week's Cancer Research finds the anti-cancer drug Gleevec is far more effective against a drug-resistant strain of cancer when it wraps the target with a molecular bandage that seals out water from a critical area. The wrapping version of the drug -- known as WBZ-7 -- was created, produced and tested by three research teams from Rice University and the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

8. Herceptin does not increase heart failure in patients long-term
   06-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Risk of congestive heart failure in women treated with trastuzumab and combination chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer did not increase over time according to a five-year follow-up of National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project trial B-31 led by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Based on the findings, the research team developed a prediction model to help oncologists assess the risk of heart failure in individual breast cancer patients prior to treatment with Herceptin and chemotherapy.
