14-06-11 Dartmouth researchers have found that reducing carbohydrate intake could reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence among women whose tumor tissue is positive for the IGF-1（胰岛素样生长因子1） receptor. The study, Risk of Breast Cancer Recurrence...

12-11-13 Tumor cells circulating in a patient's bloodstream can yield a great deal of information on how a tumor is responding to treatment and what drugs might be more effective against it. But first, these rare cells have to be captured and isolated from t...

12-08-02 By identifying a key protein that tells certain breast cancer cells when and how to move, researchers at Michigan State University hope to better understand the process by which breast cancer spreads, or metastasizes（转移，迁徙） . When breast canc...

12-07-23 Only by viewing a Seurat painting at close range can you appreciate the hidden complexities of pointillism（点描绘法） -- small, distinct dots of pure color applied in patterns to form an image from a distance. Similarly, biologists and geneticists...

12-07-17 Currently, large doses of chemotherapy are required when treating certain forms of cancer, resulting in toxic side effects. The chemicals enter the body and work to destroy or shrink the tumor, but also harm vital organs and drastically（彻底地） af...

12-04-27 A new study has shown that adding boron-nitride（氮化硼） nanotubes to the surface of cancer cells can double the effectiveness of Irreversible Electroporation, a minimally invasive treatment for soft tissue tumors in the liver, lung, prostate, head...

11-11-15 Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center have identified a new drug discovery approach enabling the destruction of the most highly proliferative（增殖的） tumors. The discove...

11-08-28 For the first time, scientists can see pathways to stop a deadly brain cancer in its tracks. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have imaged individual cancer cells and the routes they travel as the tumor spreads. The r...

11-08-26 Canadian researchers have discovered that a tumor cell marker is a receptor for measles（麻疹） virus, suggesting the possible use of measles virus to help fight cancer. Their findings appear in the Open Access journal PLoS Pathogens. Viruses cause...

11-08-25 Bone marrow transplantation with genetically modified cells may prolong the period of cancer-free survival, suggests a study led by Dr. Vivek Rangnekar, associate director of translational research for the Markey Cancer Center at the University of K...
