New radiation-free targeted therapy for breast cancer developed

Washington, Mar 31 (ANI): An international team of researchers have developed a novel radiation-free technique that detects and eliminates breast cancer tumours. The team including researchers from California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) and the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre have shown ... Full story

Light-activated molecular ‘lock’ may help starve cancer, improve drug delivery

Washington, March 31 (ANI): University of Florida researchers have announced the creation of a lock-live molecule based on exposure to light, which may prove helpful in starving cancer tumours or preventing side effects from a wide range of drugs. While experimenting in the laboratory, the researchers put the lock on an enzyme involved in blood clotting. The researcher exposed the enzyme to visible and ultraviolet light. ... Full story

Gene that suppresses skin cancer growth identified

London, March 30 (ANI): Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the U.S. have announced the discovery of a gene that suppresses tumour growth in melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The finding was made as part of a systematic genetic analysis of a group of enzymes implicated in skin cancer, and many ... Full story

New technique to predict breast cancer chemotherapy outcome developed

Washington, Feb 2 (ANI): In a new study, researchers have described a new technique for determining the "leakiness" of tumour blood vessels using a simple digital mammography unit, which can predict the results of breast cancer chemotherapy. Successful chemotherapy depends on the ability of anticancer drugs to escape from the bloodstream through the leaky blood vessels that often surround tumours. For the study, the researchers designed nanometre-sized ... Full story
