- Malaria and Epstein-Barr virus linked to pediatric cancer in Africa
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Arnaud Chene and colleagues have identified CIDRla as the first microbial protein able to spur a latently EBV-infected cell into active production. Their results suggest that P. falciparum-derived proteins can lead to a direct reactivation of EBV during acute malaria infection, increasing the risk of Burkitt lymphoma development for children living in malaria-endemic areas.

- 'Clumping' protein linked to return of ovarian cancer
12-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
Johns Hopkins scientists have discovered that women treated for ovarian cancer are at increased risk of a rapid and potentially fatal recurrence if their tumor cells have high levels of a binding protein that triggers abnormal growth and slows down cell death, both hallmarks of malignancy.

- 2 heads are better than 1: 2 dysfunctional DNA repair pathways kill tumor cells
04-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Individuals who inherit one mutant copy of any one of about 12 genes that make the proteins of the Fanconi Anemia pathway are at increased risk of developing cancer. This occurs when the remaining "good" copy of the gene becomes mutated in a specific cell type. However, hope of a new treatment for these cancers has now been provided by a new study indicating that inhibiting the protein ATM can kill these cancer cells.

- Birth records hold pancreatic cancer clue
08-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Pregnancies in Jerusalem in the 1960s and 1970s may hold vital clues about how pancreatic cancer and diabetes are linked. According to research published in the online open access journal BMC Medicine, women with a history of gestational diabetes had a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer later in life.

- Altered expression of ultraconserved noncoding RNAs linked to human leukemias and carcinomas
09-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study provides evidence that noncoding RNAs and interactions between noncoding genes play a much greater role in human cancer than was previously understood. The research, published by Cell Press in the September issue of the journal Cancer Cell, may be useful for identifying tumor-specific signatures associated with diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer.

A new study from Danish researchers has found that childless men have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer than fathers, and that, paradoxically, the more children a father has, the lower the risk of the disease.

- HPV infection linked to throat cancers
05-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have conclusive evidence that human papillomavirus (HPV) causes some throat cancers in both men and women. Reporting in the May 10 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers found that oral HPV infection is the strongest risk factor for the disease, regardless of tobacco and alcohol use, and having multiple oral sex partners tops the list of sex practices that boost risk for the HPV-linked cancer.

GlaxoSmithKline today announced final results of a Phase II clinical trial of its investigational Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic MAGE-A3 in non small cell lung cancer. Final trial analysis showed a 27 percent reduction in the relative risk of cancer recurrence following surgery, compared to placebo. GSK also announced today the launch of a Phase III efficacy and safety trial for this novel cancer immunotherapy; the largest clinical trial ever conducted in lung cancer treatment.
