New Screening Technique for Cervical Cancer
An Indian-origin researcher is developing a new screening technique for cervical cancer that would be more effective at spotting tumours early.
The new technique, developed by a team led by Nandita de Souza at the Institute of Cancer Research and London’s Royal Marsden Hospital, is called ‘diffusion weighted imaging’.
It significantly improves the level of contrast between […]
New Cancer Patients Retain Little Medical Information
People hearing the devastating news that they have cancer have trouble remembering the details of the conversation with their doctor.
And, those who have the worst prognosis are likely to remember even less, a new study found.
Reporting in the Nov. 20 issue of theJournal of Clinical Oncology, researchers from the Netherlands and Australia found that most […]

Prevention guidelines for Breast Cancer
Breast cancer awareness
takes centre stage in October. Most women are interested in preventing breast cancer
The evidence is not clear, but there are drug trials which have been shown to reduce the risk of recurrent breast cancer in women. The results from the Breast Cancer Prevention Trial have also shown that women at high risk for […]
Cancer drug Avastin may work as imaging tool too
Genentech and Roche’s cancer drug Avastin can help find tumors as well as treat them, scientists said on Wednesday.
After tagging the antibody drug with a radioactive tracer and injecting it into mice, researchers found it successfully targeted cancer cells and this enabled them to produce well-defined images of tumors during scanning.
When compared with images of […]
Potential Anti-Cancer Compound Developed From Chinese Salad Plant

Cancer Researh and Study, Found New Way To Target Cancer Cells
Researchers at the Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence Focused on Therapy Response (CCNE-TR), based at Stanford University, have found a new way to target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. The solution involves using single-walled carbon nanotubes as delivery vehicles. The new method has enabled the researchers to get a higher proportion of a […]
