Letrozole tops Tamoxifen for early breast cancer
The breast cancer drug letrozole, marketed as Femara, may be more
effective than tamoxifen at preventing the return of breast cancer and
improving survival among older women with hormone-sensitive breast
cancers, a new study reports.

Radiotherapy after surgery halves the chance of breast cancer
returning
Radiotherapy dramatically reduces the risk of relapse among breast
cancer patients who have undergone lumpectomies, say scientists.
Researchers from Oxford University discovered that radiation treatment
used after surgery can decrease the chance of the disease recurring by
fifty per cent.

Cancer groups release cervical cancer screening guidelines
Three leading U.S. cancer groups have proposed new guidelines for
cervical cancer testing for women, including when to start screening
for sexually active young women, extending intervals between
screenings and in some cases, supplementing the traditional Pap test
with human papilloma virus (HPV) testing.

Huge Economic Burden Of Melanoma In The USA
According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, each year between 2004 to 2006, over 45,000 cases of
melanoma were reported in 45 states and the District of Columbia. In
the U.S. skin cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer. Although
melanoma is the third most prevalent type of skin cancer, it is more
dangerous than other skin cancers, and is the leading cause of death
from skin disease killing approximately 8,000 individuals each year as
well as costing the country billions.

Does The American Cancer Society Have A Problem With Atheist Money?
If your house is on fire, do you ask the firefighter if he or she is
an atheist before you accept his or her help? I doubt it. Similarly,
I'm wondering about the real reasons The American Cancer Society will
not work with the atheist charity organization,  Foundation Beyond
Belief. It appears that the foundation would be able to raise up to
$500,000 for the Relay for Life, with $250,000 of that being matched
funds from Todd Stiefel of the Stiefel Freethought Foundation.

Two Cancer Studies Find Bacterial Clue in Colon
For years, Dr. Robert A. Holt, a genomics researcher at the British
Columbia Cancer Agency, wrestled with a question about colon cancer.
Might it be caused, or pushed along, by a bacterial infection? Cancers
of the liver, stomach and cervix have all been linked to microbes, he
knew. And if there is one place in the body with a lot of microbes, it
is the colon — microbial cells outnumber human cells there by a ratio
of at least nine to one.

Deceptive "New Hopes" for Cancer‎
Cancer breakthroughs may be deceptive to the public. A study,
published in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology on
October 20, questions the reasoning used in many highly cited cancer
publications supporting the relevance of animal and test tube
experiments to human cancer. By Alicia Rose DelGallo. In Ivanhoe

Signalling Protein VEGF Helps Renew Stem Cells In Common Skin Cancer
New research from Belgium, published in Nature this week, reveals that
VEGF, a signalling protein that is known to regulate the formation of
new blood vessels, has a dual role in helping cancer cells grow and
form tumors in skin squamous cell carcinoma, a common cancer in
humans. The study finds that VEGF helps grow a blood supply for the
tumor, and it also helps replenish and renew the stem cancer cells
that differentiate to become skin cancer cells.

Cancer warning signs women should not ignore
We live in denial mode when encountering grave health conditions.
Young women, for instance, ignore recommended health checkups and
screenings.

Identification d'un gène de prédisposition commun au mélanome et au
cancer du rein
Des chercheurs de l'Inserm et de l'Insitut de cancérologie Gustave
Roussy de Villejuif (Val-de-Marne) ont mis en évidence une mutation
génétique, baptisée "Mi-E318K", responsable d'une prédisposition
commune au mélanome, un cancer de la peau, et au cancer du rein.
Publiés dans la revue scientifique Nature, ces travaux montrent que
les individus porteurs de cette mutation auraient plus de risque de
développer ces deux types de cancer.. Dans Le Parisien

Plan cancer, plan Alzheimer: la recherche en souffrance
Manifestement, il faut qu'un président de la République crée son
«plan»... Pour Jacques Chirac, c'était le «plan cancer», pour Nicolas
Sarkozy, le «plan Alzheimer». A priori, rien à critiquer: tout le
monde est, comme Pierre Desproges, contre le cancer. A tel point que
pendant 10 jours, un candidat mystère à la présidentielle a fait
diffuser une vidéo d'un «Parti contre le cancer». Derrière cette
opération, Viktor Izraël veut attirer l'attention sur les
insuffisances du plan Cancer, et notamment sur le nombre de
cancérologues.

Cancers de la thyroïde : en augmentation, mais surtout ceux de petite
taille
Les cancers de la thyroïde sont en augmentation en France, mais ils
restent une rareté, et cette croissance concerne surtout les cancers
de petite taille, soulignent des spécialistes à l'occasion du congrès
de la Société française d'oto-rhino-laryngologie (SFORL) s'ouvrant
samedi.

Le manque de dépistage des maladies cancéreuses souligné lors d'une
journée d'information à Alger
Le manque de dépistage et de prévention primaire des maladies
cancéreuses a été souligné jeudi à Alger par les participants à une
journée d'information médicale sur le cancer, qui ont appelé à
accentuer les efforts de sensibilisation sur cette maladie en "nette
progression".
