NEW YORK (April 9, 2012 ) -- An international research team led by Weill Cornell Medical College investigators have discovered two inherited-genetic deletions in the human genome linked to development of aggressive prostate cancer. The findings, published online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

Anurag Singh, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at Boston University School of Medicine has been invited to present his recent work on targeted therapeutics for colon cancer at the American Association of Cancer Research Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL.

A study by researchers at Indiana University, Methodist Research Institute that is published in The International Journal of Oncology reveals that a non-toxic, botanical orally administered formula controls aggressive human prostate tumors in mice. The peer-reviewed pre-clinical in vivo study demonstrated that the prostate formula substantially suppresses tumor growth ...

Patients with early stage malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a cancer that develops in the lining of the lungs, may be eligible for aggressive multi-modality therapy involving surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated that aggressive treatment of severe traumatic brain injury, which includes invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) and decompressive craniectomy, produces better patient outcomes than less aggressive measures and is cost-effective in patients no matter their age ...

A clinical trial published in Leukemia & Lymphoma , has shown that patients with the most common form of adult leukemia who take an aggressive drug combination can resume a normal quality of life once treatment is completed. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Research's CLL4 trial included 777 patients who ...

This release is available in German . In particularly aggressive forms of breast cancer, cancer cells can settle in other organs and form metastases there. Once such metastases form, complete recovery is rare. Consequently, it is enormously important to prevent the metastasisation ...

(Max-Planck-Gesellschaft) Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim have now discovered that they can prevent the formation of metastases by blocking the receptor protein Plexin B1.

(University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) Aggressive treatment for severe traumatic brain injuries costs more than routine care, yet yields significantly better outcomes, improved quality of life, and lower long term care costs, according to a new study by researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of ...

(Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group) Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated that aggressive treatment of severe traumatic brain injury, which includes invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure and decompressive craniectomy, produces better patient outcomes than less aggressive measures and is cost-effective in patients ...

The main cause of death in women with breast cancer is spread of the original tumor to distant sites, a process known as metastasis. New therapeutic targets are urgently needed. A team of researchers led by Stefan Offermanns and Thomas Worzfeld, at the Max-Planck-Institute for Heart and Lung Research, Germany, ...

In this world, there are winners and losers - and, for your own safety, it is best to fear the winners. A new study found that winners - those who outperformed others on a competitive task - acted more aggressively against the people they beat than the losers did against ...
