Cancer Patients Might Be Able To Actually Help Themselves

New research looks at why and what can be done to activate the cells to destroy tumors. Researchers say the failure of these immune cells to kill // cancer may be due to different cell priming or suppressing mechanisms. Researchers now say that they have found a method to activate the anti-cancer cells in mice. For the study, researchers took bone marrow from breast cancer patients and...

Calcium Supplementation May Not Actually Prevent colon cancer say researchers

Researchers now say that calcium previously thought to inhibit the growth of colon cancer cells// may not actually be true due to inconsistent results obtained in a number of studies. However researchers say that results of two well-designed, randomized controlled trials, have shown a moderate protective effect on development of colorectal adenomatous polyps, generally benign types occu...
