HPV tests better than Pap for cervical cancer detection
Which cancer screening is best? Amidst a variety of findings this past
year, a new study in the Lancet Oncology journal found an HPV test is
more effective for detecting cancer in women over 30. Researchers
studied more than 45,000 women aged 29 to 56 in the Netherlands, who
were given a combination of the pap test and the HPV test, or the Pap
test alone.

No brakes on breast cancer cells
Scientists of the German Cancer Research Center have discovered a tiny
RNA molecule, called miR-520, which at once blocks two important
pathways in the development of cancer in cells. In estrogen receptor-
negative breast cancer, the production of this microRNA is often
reduced and this is correlated with malignant behavior of tumor cells.
The DKFZ team has found out that tumors with low levels of miR-520
have a particularly strong tendency to metastasize.

Plus de 360.000 nouveaux cas de cancers en France en 2011
Quelque 365.000 nouveaux cas de cancers ont été signalés en 2011 dans
l'Hexagone, selon les estimations communiquées lors d'un colloque
international, organisé dans le cadre du Plan Cancer 2009-2013 par
l'Agence de sécurité sanitaire française (Anses) et l'Institut
national du cancer (INCa). D'une façon générale, la mortalité par
cancer tend à diminuer en France, alors que l'incidence annuelle des
cas continue de progresser Dans Le Parisien

Le gène DCC protège des cancers colorectaux
Des chercheurs ont identifié un gène protecteur des cancers
colorectaux. Ce gène, appelé DCC, induit un message d'autodestruction
des cellules cancéreuses. Des souris génétiquement modifiées,
porteuses d'une mutation sur ce gène, ont toutes développé des tumeurs
colorectales. Une piste dans la recherche de nouveaux traitements
anticancer
