Surgeon shows how magnetic surgery reduces number of incisions and resultant scars

Nearly two decades ago, Dr. Jeffrey Cadeddu was watching TV when a lightbulb went off. The program showed teens using magnetic studs to avoid piercings in their lips, and Dr. Cadeddu, a surgeon, realized the same principal could be applied to his work, reducing the number of incisions and resultant scars.

Study explores whether chemotherapy affects older woman's ability to function

Older women are at higher risk for developing breast cancer than younger women are--almost half of all breast cancer cases, and most breast cancer deaths, occur in women who are 65 or older. Despite this, we know very little about how breast cancer and its treatments affect older women.

Advanced microscopes determine structure of molecular complex implicated in several cancers

In a study published today in Science, UT Southwestern and Rockefeller University researchers used advanced microscopes to determine at atomic resolution the structure of a molecular complex implicated in birth defects and several cancers.

Medical or surgical treatment for severe heartburn prevents esophageal cancer

Medical or surgical treatment of severe heartburn prevents cancer of the esophagus, a study from Karolinska Institutet with almost one million Nordic patients reveals. The results will be published in the scientific journal JAMA Oncology.

Men who consume alcohol during adolescence are more likely to have prostate cancer

Compared with non-drinkers, men who consumed at least seven drinks per week during adolescence had three times the odds of being diagnosed with clinically significant prostate cancer.

Federal grant extends and expands research into acute kidney failure

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has renewed a grant shared by the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine and the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine that will extend and expand research into acute kidney failure, or acute kidney injury, which affects about 1.2 million hospitalized patients per year and kills 70 to 80 percent of patients in intensive care units who develop the disease.

Researchers receive multi-million-dollar grant to expand kidney research

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine have received renewed grant funding from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases to expand research into the areas of acute kidney failure and acute kidney injuries.

Researchers develop novel statistical method to evaluate gene-to-gene interactions linked with cancer

Research led by Hui-Yi Lin, PhD, Associate Professor of Biostatistics at LSU Health New Orleans School of Public Health, has developed another novel statistical method for evaluating gene-to-gene interactions associated with cancer and other complex diseases.

Brown University researchers reveal key physical properties of 'giant' cancer cells

Polyploidal cancer cells--cells that have more than two copies of each chromosome--are much larger than most other cancer cells, are resistant to chemotherapy and radiation treatments and are associated with disease relapse.

Researchers discover secret communication hotline between breast cancers and normal cells

Australian researchers have uncovered a secret communication hotline between breast cancers and the normal cells surrounding them. Importantly, the messages sent back and forth between the normal and tumour cells encourage the cancer to survive and to become more aggressive.

Removing the cancer label - overhaul in cancer classification proposed

Australian researchers have asked for changes in the way doctors tend to label low risk cancerous conditions as “cancer” leading to over treatment. Certain diagnoses such as localised prostate cancer or “stage 0” breast cancers need to be looked at say the researchers at the University of Sydney and Bond University to prevent aggressive treatment where it is not needed.

Novel blood-based marker may help predict kidney cancer years before clinical diagnosis

A critical biomarker of kidney disease may help predict clear cell kidney cancer - the most common form of kidney cancer - years before clinical diagnosis. Kidney-injury-molecule-1 can be detected in the urine and blood and is generally present at low levels in healthy individuals.
