Your mother was right: Broccoli is good for you. Long associated with decreased risk of cancer, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables—the family of plants that also includes cauliflower, cabbage, collard greens, Brussels sprouts and kale—contain a molecule that inactivates a gene known to play a role in a variety of common human cancers. In a […]
Natural cancer prevention: Around 50 percent of all Tumor-diseases so keep away
World cancer day: half of all cancers could be avoided Every year around half a Million people in Germany are diagnosed with cancer. According to health experts, about half of the diseases could be due to a healthy lifestyle avoided. Number of cancer cases rises More and more people are developing cancer. The number of […]
The most effective protection against cancer: Every second Tumor would Suffer so avoidable
World cancer day: half of all cancers could be avoided Every year around half a Million people in Germany are diagnosed with cancer. According to health experts, about half of the diseases could be due to a healthy lifestyle avoided. Number of cancer cases rises More and more people are developing cancer. The number of […]
Breast cancer: Changing tumor cells into fat cells stops spread
Metastasis is the process through which cancer cells escape from primary tumors and grow new tumors, or metastases, in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of death from cancer. An enabler of metastasis is the innate ability of cancer cells to take on the properties of other cell types. This “plasticity” […]
New diagnostics: Now the cancer can be detected by blood test
The imminent future of cancer diagnostics The cancer diagnosis is in a state of upheaval. Soon to be recognized on the basis of a simple blood test, whether someone has a tumor, and if so, what. This is made possible by the identification of the genetic modifications, which brings each of the cancer disease. The […]
New tumor model helps researchers treat pancreatic cancer
Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer face a poor prognosis because the tumor forms dense scar-like tissue that is difficult for chemotherapy drugs to penetrate, but a new model may help researchers develop new therapies. “More than 85 percent of pancreatic tumors form this fibrous tissue,” explained Assistant Professor Joshua Reineke of the South Dakota State […]
Dad diagnosed with brain tumor during family trip to Universal
Barry Reid was at Universal with his family when he collapsed and was rushed to a nearby emergency room. (SWNS) A dad-of-two has spoken of his holiday horror after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor during a dream family trip to Florida. Barry Reid, his wife Gillian and their two young daughters, Chloe and […]
Researchers develop mechanism for characterizing function of rare tumor cells
Scientists have long known that circulating tumor cells, rare cancer cells that are released into the bloodstream, have the potential to provide vital information about a person’s specific cancer. But until now, they have been unable to reliably access information on how these cells behave. UCLA researchers have created a quick and effective mechanism to […]
Restricting a key cellular nutrient could slow tumor growth
Remove tumor cells from a living organism and place them in a dish, and they will multiply even faster than before. The mystery of why this is has long stumped cancer researchers, though many have simply focused on the mutations and chains of molecular reactions that could prompt such a disparity. Now, a group of […]
