1. New test improves detection of liver cancer
   08-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Cancer of the liver is very difficult to detect, and it is a major cause of death in Asia and Africa, with rising incidence in Western countries. VIB researchers connected to UGent, in collaboration with research centers in Beijing and Shanghai, developed a test to detect liver cancer in early stage. A blood sample is the only requirement for the test. The test enables accurate detection of liver cancer in over 50 percent of the cases.

   10-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study led by McGill University researchers shows that the human papillomavirus screening test is far more accurate than the traditional Pap test in detecting cervical cancer. The first round of the Canadian Cervical Cancer Screening Trial concluded that the HPV test's ability to accurately detect pre-cancerous lesions without generating false negatives was 94.6 percent, as opposed to 55.4 percent for the Pap test.

9. Support for chromosomal theory of cancer found in cancers' development of drug resistance
   06-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Most cancer researchers are convinced that cancer results from a handful of genetic mutations that kick a cell into uncontrolled growth. UC Berkeley genetics researcher Peter Duesberg disagrees, and finds support for his "chromosomal" theory of cancer in the development of drug resistance by many cancers. While his theory implies their is no magic bullet against cancer, it does provide ways to detect cancer at an early stage.
