GHHS collaborates with IllumiCare to help clinicians make better decisions at point-of-care

Seeing prices and calorie counts on a restaurant menu allows consumers to make better choices when eating out. In the same way, physicians make better choices when presented with the financial cost and potential risks of medications, labs and radiology tests when inside the electronic medical record making treatment decisions.

Genetic counseling missed by some breast cancer patients, study finds

As new genes are linked to breast cancer occurring in families and as genetic testing becomes more important in directing treatment for newly diagnosed patients, a substantial number of those at the highest risk are not getting tested.

Researchers uncover new way to treat aggressive breast tumors

Researchers at Lund University and Karolinska Institutet have uncovered a way to treat aggressive breast tumors through manipulation of the connective tissue cells of the tumor.

New findings yield insights into factors that contribute to aggressive endometrial tumors

New research from Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah indicates steroid and hormone receptors are simultaneously active in many endometrial cancer tissues.

Tips to help control oily skin

Although oily skin can clog pores and lead to increased acne breakouts, dermatologists from the American Academy of Dermatology say oily skin also has many benefits. Oil helps preserve the skin, and people with oily skin tend to have thicker skin and fewer wrinkles.

New polymer nanoparticle shows potential to find and kill breast cancer cells

One major problem in treating cancer is identifying the location of small tumors and treating them before they metastasize.

Extracellular vesicles may serve as drug delivery vehicles for cancer treatment

Creating enough nanovesicles to inexpensively serve as a drug delivery system may be as simple as putting the cells through a sieve, according to an international team of researchers who used mouse autologous -- their own -- immune cells to create large amounts of fillable nanovesicles to deliver drugs to tumors in mice.

Streamlined workflow could pave way for simple blood test to study cancer heterogeneity in liquid biopsy

Scientists reported the development of a robust and streamlined procedure for whole-genome copy number profiling of circulating tumor cells from a simple blood test.

ACEA launches comprehensive and searchable online library of xCELLigence papers

In 2002 ACEA Biosciences pioneered real-time cellular impedance as a tool for dynamically tracking cell number, cell size, cell-substrate attachment strength, and cell invasion/migration.

Korean scientists track growth, migration of cells under hypoxic conditions using xCELLigence RTCA

Tracking the growth and migration of cells under hypoxic conditions in vitro can be challenging because measurements must be made in a manner that does not perturb the atmospheric composition of the closed system.

Continuous tracking of melanoma cell invasion helps scientists explain key regulators of metastasis

A team of Italian scientists reported this week that blocking the interaction between urokinase receptor (uPAR) and formyl peptide receptor type 1 (FPR1) suppresses the ability of melanoma cells to migrate, invade through an extracellular matrix, and to burrow through a layer of endothelial cells.

Novel oncolytic virus expressing BiTE molecule elicits T cell-mediated killing of tumor cells

In a research article published in EMBO Molecular Medicine, a group of scientists at the University of Oxford have described a new twist on cancer immunotherapy, combining two independent cell killing approaches in a single therapeutic with high potency and broad applicability.

ACEA Biosciences develops novel assay for rapid identification of endocrine-disrupting chemicals

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are substances that interfere with the ability of endogenous hormones to regulate homeostasis via their cognate nuclear receptors.

Precision oncology may improve overall survival, lower healthcare costs for advanced cancer patients

The use of advanced molecular diagnostic technologies, such as Next-Generation Sequencing-based gene panel testing, to select targeted therapies in advanced cancer patients is known as precision oncology.

New imaging technology could significantly improve the accuracy of cancer diagnosis

A new cutting-edge imaging technology can grade cancer tumors, thereby eliminating human subjectivity and variability in the grading of cancer severity.

Study identifies two new biomarkers for common form of childhood cancer

Two new biomarkers for a type of cancer in children called neuroblastoma have been identified in a study published in the journal Cancer Cell. The findings are expected to have immediate significance for disease prognosis, and eventually also for treatment.

Southern Research scientists target mutated protein to combat prostate cancer

Southern Research scientists are exploring how a mutated protein implicated in prostate cancer plays a role in the development of the disease and whether it holds a key to better treatment outcomes.

Scientists link 110 genes to increased risk of breast cancer

Scientists have linked 110 genes to an increased risk of breast cancer in the most comprehensive study ever to unpick the genetics of the disease.

Socioeconomic inequalities may affect outcomes for patients with anal cancer

In a study of patients with anal cancer, living in low median household income areas was linked with an increased risk of early death. Published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the findings suggest that socioeconomic inequalities may affect cancer outcomes, especially for highly treatable and curable tumors such as anal cancer.
