Scientists Discover New Type of Cancer Cell

...io State University identified the cells they call precancerous stem cells, or pCSCs, that can either remain benign or become malignant, depending upon environmental cues, reported UPI. "These hybrid cells are very complex. They have properties of normal and abnormal stem cells and do not always lead to cancer,...

Genetic Pathways to Curable and Incurable Forms of Pancreatic Cancer Identified

...beginning with the creation of a distinct class of precancerous lesions in the ductal epithelium called mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN). This initiates a process that results in the rarer but far less deadly cystic pancreatic cancer. MCN lesions often are large enough to be detected early by MRI or CT scan and...

Rice Bran Reduces Risk of Intestinal Cancer

...n caused an average 51% reduction in the number of precancerous adenomas in the intestinal tract. Professor Andreas Gescher of the University of Leicester in the UK, the principal investigator, said:'We compared the cancer-preventive efficacy of rice bran with respect to prostate, breast and intestinal cancers...

1-visit Screening, Prevention for Cervical Cancer Holds Promise

...approach is effective at detecting and eradicating precancerous abnormalities, it requires a degree of infrastructure that isn't often available in developing countries. Pap smears require equipment such as slides, reagents and even a working microscope, which might not be available in developing countries, said...

Breast Cancer Vaccine Stimulates Potent Immune Response to Cancer Cells

...rbors the HER-2/neu gene. "When the animal has a precancerous lesion, we vaccinate it and closely follow the appearance of the spontaneous tumor through its life. Conducting the research in this manner allows us to gain a clearer insight into a real-life cancer patient’s situation," she said. Cancer vaccines ...
