American research shows stress may actually cause some breast cancers, or facilitate a relapse. Glucocorticoid cortisol is the culprit, acting on receptors in fat cells in the breast.

1- Should cardiac screening guidelines for survivors of childhood cancer be reviewed ?

"One of the first studies to analyze the effectiveness of screening survivors of childhood cancer for early signs of impending congestive heart failure finds improved health outcomes but suggests that less frequent screening than currently recommended may yield similar clinical benefit. The researchers utilized a simulation-based model to estimate the long-term benefits associated with routine screening."

2- Chemists discover structure of cancer drug candidate

"Chemists have determined the correct structure of a highly promising anticancer compound approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clinical trials in cancer patients. In the new study, scientists show that TIC10's structure differs subtly from a version published by another group last year, and that the previous structure associated with TIC10 in fact describes a molecule that lacks TIC10's anticancer activity."

3- Robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery as safe but more expensive as open surgery in older men

"Minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery, which has become the main choice for surgically removing cancerous prostate glands during recent years, is as safe as open surgery for Medicare patients over age 65, a study shows. As of 2009, more than 60 percent of all radical prostatectomies in the U.S. were done robotically."

4- 'Low-risk' prostate cancer often not low-risk when targeted biopsy is used

"Selection of men for active surveillance for prostate cancer should be based not on the widely used conventional biopsy, but with a new, image-guided targeted prostate biopsy. Researchers found that conventional "blind" biopsy failed to reveal the true extent of presumed low-risk prostate cancers, and that when targeted biopsy was used, more than a third of these men had more aggressive cancers than they thought. Their aggressive cancers were not detected by conventional blind biopsy using ultrasound alone."

CANCER du COL : Vers un dépistage généralisé ?

"C’est la 5e édition de Juin vert, mois national de mobilisation contre le cancer du col de l’utérus initié en 2010 par l’Institut national du cancer. A cette occasion, l’Institut de veille sanitaire fait le point sur la pathologie cancéreuse cervico-utérine, son dépistage, les vaccins disponibles et les directions à suivre pour réduire l’incidence de la maladie."

I created this thread because I intend to publish a large number of news and I don't want to pollute the thread entitled "Interesting News Articles About Cancer".

Un méga-vaccin contre la rougeole pour tuer les tumeurs

"Une virothérapie massive à base de 100.000 milliards d’unités du virus de la rougeole vient d’avoir raison d’un cancer disséminé, un myélome multiple, chez une patiente âgée de 50 ans. Alors que la recherche travaille depuis de très nombreuses années la piste des virus oncolytiques, ces virus capables d’infecter uniquement les cellules cancéreuses et de les détruire tout en épargnant les cellules saines, c’est la première tentative réussie de virothérapie massive par voie intraveineuse. C'est un succès, puisque la patiente est restée en rémission près de 9 mois."

A mega-vaccine against measles to kill tumors

"A mass-based virotherapy 100,000 billion units of measles virus have recently due to erythematosus, multiple myeloma, in a 50 years old patient cancer. While research has been working for many years the trail of oncolytic viruses, these viruses can infect only cancer cells and destroy them while sparing healthy cells, this is the first successful attempt of massive intravenous virotherapy . It is a success because the patient remained in remission almost 9 months."
