By Amanda L. Chan. In Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/02/coffee-skin-cancer-caffeine-basal-cell-carcinoma_n_1644262.html?utm_hp_ref=healthy-living Breast Cancer Risk Might Be Tied To Breast Size, Study Says‎ Researchers at a commercial DNA testing service say they have found a handful of genes that help determine whether a woman spends her life as an A cup or a D. By Catherine Pearson. In Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/05/breast-cancer-risk-breast-size-study_n_1652292.html Merck KGaA suffers setback on cancer drug‎ German pharmaceuticals maker Merck KGaA said Thursday that phase III clinical trials of its gastric cancer drug Erbitux (cetuximab) had shown no benefits for patients. In AFP http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jkVs_BgWN-CRKddYxWY1KIJYfh8Q?docId=CNG.13f405e42a7cc10518399520a499d381.1a1 Cancer group asks US to study sugary drinks, obesity‎‎‎ A leading U.S. cancer lobby group is urging the Surgeon General to conduct a sweeping study of the impact of sugar-sweetened beverages on consumer health, saying such drinks play major role in the nation's obesity crisis and require a U.S. action plan‎. By Susan Heavey.

But when it comes to cancer, say UCLA researchers, mother cells may be far more prolific. In ScienceDaily http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/07/120705194140.htm In real time, scientists watch stem cells at work regenerating tissue Scientists have for the first time watched and manipulated stem cells as they regenerate tissue in an uninjured mammal, Yale researchers report July 1 online in the journal Nature. By Bill Hathaway. In Medical Xpress http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-07-real-scientists-stem-cells-regenerating.html Why Cancer Rate Increases With Age (It's Not What You Think)‎ Cancers are age-related, much more frequent in the old than in the young. A University of Colorado Cancer Center review published July 2 in the journal Oncogene argues against the conventional wisdom that the accumulation of cancer-causing mutations leads to more cancer in older people, instead positing that it is the changing features of tissue in old age that promote higher cancer rates in the elderly. In ScienceDaily http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/07/120702134732.htm Healthy cells around tumours 'may fuel resistance to cancer drugs'‎ ‎Tumour cells could be being helped by healthy cells to escape cancer drugs killing them, according to US research. Healthy cells that make up the 'micro-environment' in and around tumours produce molecules that protect tumour cells from the killing effects of drugs, say experts from the Broad Institute, the Dana- Farber Cancer Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Une nouvelle étude américaine établit un lien entre la taille des seins et le cancer. Dans Slate.fr http://www.slate.fr/lien/58935/cancer-sein-taille Cancer: un essai pour tenter de généraliser les traitements personnalisés L'Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR) a annoncé jeudi le lancement d'un essai clinique international pour proposer des traitements personnalisés à des patients qui, jusqu'à présent, ne pouvaient bénéficier que de traitements standards. "L'objectif de cet essai est de proposer un traitement personnalisé à la très grande majorité des patients" alors qu'actuellement seulement 30% des patients peuvent en bénéficier, indique dans un communiqué l'IGR, établissement privé situé en région parisienne qui se présente comme "premier centre de lutte contre le cancer en Europe".

En revanche, les mécanismes d’action de la substance active du café restent incompris. Par Janlou Chaput. Dans Futura-Sciences http://www.futura-sciences.com/fr/news/t/medecine/d/plus-on-boit-de-cafac-moins-on-risque-un-cancer-de-la-peau_39800/ Aux Etats-Unis, la lutte contre le cancer n'obéit qu'aux lois du marché‎ Le combat perdu du petit Jacob Froman n'aura pas été vain, même s'il illustre l'absurdité d'un système de soins soumis aux seuls intérêts des laboratoires pharmaceutiques et des assureurs privés. Une loi votée la semaine dernière par le Congrès américain redonne espoir aux parents et aux enfants. Par Stéphane Trano. Dans Marianne2.fr http://www.marianne2.fr/obj-washington/Une-loi-pour-inciter-les-firmes-pharmaceutiques-a-s-interesser-enfin-aux-cancers-des-enfants_a112.html Découverte d'une drogue qui détruit les cellules souches cancéreuses et n'affecte pas les cellules souches saines Une équipe de chercheurs de l'Université McMaster (Ontario, Canada) a découvert que la thioridazine, drogue généralement utilisée en tant qu'antipsychotique, tue efficacement les cellules souches cancéreuses chez l'homme sans les effets secondaires des traitements conventionnels du cancer. Selon les auteurs de l'étude, l'aspect exceptionnel de la thioridazine vient du mode d'élimination des cellules souches cancéreuses ; celle-ci les transforme en cellules non cancéreuses. De plus, contrairement à la chimiothérapie et aux traitements par radiations, la thioridazine semble n'avoir aucun effet sur les cellules souches normales.
