New Prostate Cancer Gene Mutation Discovered
After decades of work, researchers have discovered a new gene (HOXB13)
variant linked with a higher risk of developing hereditary prostate
cancer.

U.S. Life Expectancy Rises as Homicides Hit Lowest Since 1962
U.S. life expectancy climbed to a new high in 2010 as fewer people
died from heart disease and cancer, and homicide was no longer among
the 15 leading causes of death, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention said.

Uncertainty Over Use of GnRH Agonists in Breast Cancer
Infertility as a result of chemotherapy for breast cancer is not
improved with the use of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
agonist (triptorelin), according to a new study.

need for continued research to improve prevention, screening and
treatment.

Lab-made tissue picks up the slack of Petri dishes in cancer research
New research demonstrates that previous models used to examine cancer
may not be complex enough to accurately mimic the true cancer
environment. Using oral cancer cells in a three-dimensional model of
lab-made tissue that mimics the lining of the oral cavity, the
researchers found that the tissue surrounding cancer cells can
epigenetically mediate, or temporarily trigger, the expression or
suppression of a cell adhesion protein associated with the progression
of cancer. These new findings support the notion that drugs that are
currently being tested to treat many cancers need to be screened using
more complex tissue-like systems, rather than by using conventional
petri dish cultures that do not fully manifest features of many
cancers.

Sharing Breast Cancer Results With Children Is Popular
An investigation published online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal
of the American Cancer Society has discovered that many parents share
their breast cancer test results with their children, even if they are
very young. Furthermore, the researchers discovered that the majority
of parents believe that their children are not distressed when they
find out about the test results.

ISG15: A novel therapeutic target to slow breast cancer cell motility
Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), a ubiquitin like protein, is
highly elevated in a variety of cancers including breast cancer. How
the elevated ISG15 pathway contributes to tumorigenic phenotypes
remains unclear and is the subject of a study published in the January
2012 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine.

Bach's charms soothe edgy prostate patients
A good set of headphones and a little Bach may ease the pain and
anxiety of getting a prostate biopsy, according to a newly published

Selectively stopping glutathione sensitizes brain tumors to
chemotherapy
Brain cancer cells are particularly resistant to chemotherapy — toxins
enter the cells, but before the toxins can kill, cancer cells quickly
pump them back outside. In fact, brain cancer cells are even better
than healthy cells at cleaning themselves. This means that when hit
with chemotherapy, healthy cells tend to die before brain cancer
cells. Especially in the brain, killing healthy cells is bad.

Découverte du premier gène mutant clé dans le cancer hérité de la
prostate
Après vingt ans d'effort, des chercheurs américains ont découvert la
première mutation génétique majeure liée à une nette augmentation du
risque de cancer héréditaire de la prostate, selon leurs travaux parus
mercredi dans le New England Journal of Medicine. Ce gène mutant rare
accroît de dix à vingt fois le risque de cancer de la prostate chez
les hommes les plus jeunes dans les familles affectées. Dans Le Monde

Habiter près d'une centrale nucléaire favoriserait la leucémie chez
l'enfant‎
Selon une étude publiée dans l'International Journal of Cancer, les
cas de leucémies seraient deux fois plus fréquents chez les enfants
vivants à proximité d'une centrale nucléaire. Les scientifiques
refusent cependant d'en tirer des conclusions définitives.

Le nombre de cancers baisse aux Etats-Unis, un million de décès évités
depuis 1990
Plus d'un million de décès ont été évités aux Etats-Unis depuis le
début des années 1990 grâce à la baisse du nombre de cancers, en
particulier du sein, du poumon, de la prostate et du colon, selon un
rapport publié mercredi par l'organisation américaine contre le
cancer.
