- Study questions 'cancer stem cell' hypothesis in breast cancer
03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
A Dana-Farber Cancer Institute study challenges the hypothesis that "cancer stem cells" -- a small number of self-renewing cells within a tumor -- are responsible for breast cancer progression and recurrence, and that wiping out these cells alone could cure the disease.

- Popular herbal supplement hinders the growth of pancreatic cancer cells
04-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
A commonly used herbal supplement, triphala, has cancer-fighting properties that prevent or slow the growth of pancreatic cancer tumors implanted in mice, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, April 14-18. When fed orally to mice, triphala induced apoptosis in cancer cells.

- Caffeine and exercise can team up to prevent skin cancer
07-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
Regular exercise and little or no caffeine has become a popular lifestyle choice for many Americans. But a new Rutgers study has found that it may not be the best formula for preventing sun-induced skin damage that could lead to cancer. Low to moderate amounts of caffeine, in fact, along with exercise can be good for your health.

- How vitamin C stops the big 'C'
09-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Nearly 30 years after Nobel laureate Linus Pauling famously and controversially suggested that vitamin C supplements can prevent cancer, a team of Johns Hopkins scientists have shown that in mice, at least, vitamin C -- and potentially other antioxidants -- can indeed inhibit the growth of some tumors, just not in the manner suggested by years of investigation.

- Survival shortened when ER/PR negative breast cancer spreads to the brain
12-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Two studies from Mayo Clinic's site in Jacksonville, Fla., of women whose breast cancer spread to their brain, have found that women whose tumors do not have estrogen or progesterone receptors have the worst overall outcomes. Because of this, these patients should be treated aggressively after an initial diagnosis to help prevent such a metastasis, say the investigators, who presented their findings at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

- Fruit flies all aglow light the way to cancer prevention
01-14-2008 · EurekAlert!
A green glow from a fruit fly is giving researchers the green light when they are on the right path in their quest to develop compounds that help prevent cancer. The glow lets researchers know when powerful cancer-prevention signals similar to those spurred by protective chemicals in broccoli, cabbage, and other foods, have been turned on in the organism.

- Jefferson scientists find blood vessel-building protein halts blood vessels from forming in cancer
11-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
A piece of the protein cellular scaffolding involved in building blood vessels duringdevelopment might have the opposite effect in tumors. Scientists have found that the protein fragment endorepellin blocks both skin and lung cancer tumors from progressing in animal models by preventing their ability to recruit new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. The researchers believe the finding could lead to a new type of tumor inhibitor to prevent cancer from spreading.

- Researchers find suntan's 'master regulator'
03-08-2007 · EurekAlert!
A gene known to prevent cancer also acts as a master regulator of the suntan response, researchers report in the March 9, 2007 issue of Cell, published by Cell Press. The team discovered in studies of mice and human skin that p53, a gene best known for keeping tumors at bay, is ultimately responsible for activating the tanning machinery that darkens the skin of so many sun-seeking beachgoers, thereby protecting them from sunburns.

- Diet and lifestyle -- In the cancer fight, eating well is the best revenge
04-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
We all know that eating fruits, vegetables and soy products provides essential nutrition for a healthy lifestyle, while obesity leads to the opposite. Yet proving the effect of nutrition, or obesity, on cancer is an experimental challenge and a focus for scientists. According to emerging evidence being presented at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the AACR, eating well might still be one of the more pleasurable ways to prevent cancer and promote good health.
