Mutated Viruses Can Cure Tumors

...ion weapon" because they can take out thousands of cancerous cells per every healthy cell they kill. Chemotherapy drugs only destroy around six cancerous cells for every healthy cell. No oncolytic viruses, meaning those that cause cancer cells to burst...

Fewer Breast Cancer Patients to Get Chemo

...dly dividing cells—whether they are out-of-control cancerous cells or healthy ones that naturally grow quickly, like those lining the mouth and stomach. That is why chemotherapy causes hair loss, nausea and mouth sores. But the worst part is that chemotherapy helps only about 15 percent of breast cancer patie...

Protein Complex prevents cancer

...mosomes leading to cell instability which leads to cancerous cells.// Professor Jan Van Deursen and his research team from Mayo Clinic have found that the two protein complex Rae1 – Nup98 have proofing capacity which maintains the euploidy state in the cell and prevents the formation of aneuploidy state. Pro...

New Drug For Oral Cancer Detection On The Anvil

... CEO Doug Burkett says that the dye highlights the cancerous tissue that is not visible to the naked eye of a dentist. "Here you've got a disease that's three times as prevalent as cervical cancer," said Burkett. "We're looking to screen high-risk individuals. These individuals who drink or smoke are high ris...

Metastasis of Neuroblastoma linked to Loss Of Caspase-8 gene

...h (IMD). By this technique all the free and moving cancerous cells are destroyed by the Integrin molecules before they can affect another distant organ. The research team conducted experiments using tumor cells and introducing them in the laboratory embryo models. When caspase-8 gene was blocked them the tum...

Cervical Cancer Vaccine Show Promise In Prevention

...tial to detect pre-cancerous lesions that can turn cancerous sometime later. The development of a vaccine cannot be viewed as a substitute for the Pap smear test as it does not confer any protection against 30% of cervical cancers, caused by other types of HPV. It can however reduce the false positive Pap sm...

Vaccines developed, to treat melanoma in dogs

... cells that are treated so that they are no longer cancerous and grown in the laboratory.this DNA is inserted into the cells which secrete an immune stimulant. Then it is injected into the patient’s skin to stimulate the immune response, against the melanoma cells. Dogs that received the vaccine lived twic...

Novel Discoveries For Treatment Of Stomach Cancer

...e. They examined more than 300 tissue samples from cancerous tumors and analyzed 20 million interactions among different genes. They uncovered key molecular changes that cause the cells to divide uncontrollably and change into intestinal tissue, often a precursor to cancer. 'We get insights not into indivi...

The researchers found activity in the hamster’s brain that the anterior dorsal hippocampus and amygdala were activated. When this part ...

Lung cancer molecular profile discovered by researchers.

...s of primary tumour tissues and corresponding non- cancerous lung tissues were examined. The tumour and corresponding normal tissues were obtained from the same patient to eliminate genetic differences between tumor and normal tissues.

Spices Could Be Employed To Treat Certain Cancers

... Of Medicine. He said that capsaicin triggered the cancerous cells to die off and significantly reduced the size of the tumors. The spicy compound killed only the pancreatic tumor cells but not the normal, healthy pancreas cells. Pancreatic cancer is highly deadly, killing 31,000 of the 32,000. It is also re...
