1- Acupuncture provides significant quality of life improvements among breast cancer patients taking drugs to prevent recurrence, study shows
----------------------------------------"Use of electroacupuncture (EA) – a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles – produces significant improvements in fatigue, anxiety and depression in as little as eight weeks for early stage breast cancer patients experiencing joint pain related to the use of aromatase inhibitors (AIs) to treat breast cancer. The study is the first demonstration of EA’s efficacy for both joint pain relief, as well as these other common symptoms." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- Making cancer glow to improve surgical outcomes "The best way to cure most cases of cancer is to surgically remove the tumor. The Achilles heel of this approach, however, is that the surgeon may fail to extract the entire tumor, leading to a local recurrence. With a new technique, researchers have established a new strategy to help surgeons see the entire tumor in the patient, increasing the likelihood of a positive outcome." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 3- Research may explain how foremost anticancer 'guardian' protein learned to switch sides "A cellular program that evolved over eons to heal wounds may have been hijacked by mutant p53 proteins to enable cancers to spread out of control. This protein normally comes to the fore when healthy cells sense damage to their DNA caused by stress, such as exposure to toxic chemicals or intense exposure to the sun's UV rays. If the damage is severe, p53 can cause a cell to commit preprogrammed cell-death, or apoptosis. Mutant versions of p53 that no longer perform this vital function, on the other hand, are enablers of many different cancers." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/07/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |

Son pronostic, une affaire de code postal ?
----------------------------------------"Les résultats de cette étude britannique, menée par Macmillan, une organisation caritative de soutien aux patients atteints de cancer, illustrent l’inégalité d’accès aux soins à travers une disparité importante des taux de survie au cancer à un an, en Angleterre. Les conclusions, relayées par le National Health Service, illustrent non seulement cette inégalité des chances, fonction des régions d’habitation mais, surtout les progrès qui restent à accomplir en matière de précocité du diagnostic et du traitement." http://www.santelog.com/news/cancerologie/can...relasuite.htm#lirelasuite Prognosis, a case of postal code ? "The results of the British study by Macmillan, a charitable organization supporting cancer patients, illustrate the inequality of access to care through a large disparity in cancer survival rate at one year in England. The findings, relayed by the National Health Service, not only illustrate the inequality of opportunity, according to residential areas but especially the progress still to be made in terms of early diagnosis and treatment." http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Aboutus/News/Late...duetopostcodelottery.aspx French Article http://www.santelog.com/news/cancerologie/can...relasuite.htm#lirelasuite |

1- Natural killer cells battle pediatric leukemia
----------------------------------------"A select team of immune-system cells can be multiplied in the lab, creating an army of natural killer cells that can be used to destroy leukemia cells, researchers report. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer of childhood. This disease hinders the development of healthy blood cells while cancer cells proliferate. Currently, children with ALL receive chemotherapy for two to three years, exposing them to significant side effects including changes in normal development and future fertility." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- Older patients with limited life expectancy still receiving cancer screenings "A substantial number of older patients with limited life expectancy continue to receive routine screenings for prostate, breast, cervical and colorectal cancer although the procedures are unlikely to benefit them, researchers report." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 3- Device monitors key step in development of tumor metastases "A microfluidic device may help study key steps in the process by which cancer cells break off from a primary tumor to invade other tissues and form metastases. "This device gives us a platform to be used in testing and comparing compounds to block or delay the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, potentially slowing the progression of cancer," says one researcher." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |

L’OBÉSITÉ, reconnue comme facteur majeur de risque de cancer
----------------------------------------"Cette vaste étude britannique de la London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, menée sur les données de plus de 5 millions de personnes ne laisse plus aucun doute sur l’impact du surpoids et de l’obésité sur le risque de cancer. Ses conclusions, présentées dans le Lancet lient de manière indiscutable un indice de masse corporelle (IMC) élevé aux 10 cancers les plus fréquents. Parmi les résultats : L'excès de poids serait en cause pour 41% des cas de cancer de l'utérus et 10% ou plus des cancers de la vésicule biliaire, du rein, du foie et du côlon." http://www.santelog.com/news/cancerologie/l-o...relasuite.htm#lirelasuite OBESITY, recognized as a major risk factor for cancer "This large British study by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, conducted on data from more than 5 million people leaves no doubt about the impact of overweight and obesity on the risk of cancer. The findings, reported in the Lancet linking indisputably a body mass index (BMI) for the most common 10 cancers. Among the results: The overweight would cause for 41% of cases of cervical cancer and 10% or more of cancers of the gall bladder, kidney, liver and colon." http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/arti...-6736(14)60892-8/fulltext French Article http://www.santelog.com/news/cancerologie/l-o...relasuite.htm#lirelasuite |

1- Severing nerves may shrink stomach cancers: Botox injections slow growth of stomach tumors in mice
----------------------------------------"Nerves may play a critical role in stomach cancer growth and that blocking nerve signals using surgery or Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA) could be an effective treatment for the disease. Stomach cancer is the fourth-leading type of cancer and the second-highest contributor to cancer mortality worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 25 percent." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- Scientists learn more about rare skin cancer that killed Bob Marley "Acral melanomas, the rare type of skin cancer that caused musician Bob Marley’s death, are genetically distinct from other types of skin cancer. Acral melanoma most often affects the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, nail-beds and other hairless parts of the skin. Unlike other more common types of melanoma, it's not caused by UV damage from the sun." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 3- Novel gene predicts both breast cancer relapse, response to chemotherapy "Scientists have made it easier to predict both breast cancer relapses and responses to chemotherapy, through the identification of a unique gene. The newly found marker could help doctors classify each breast cancer patient and customize a treatment regimen that is more effective." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |

Cellular biology of colorectal cancer : New Insight
----------------------------------------"A new role for the protein adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) in suppressing colorectal cancer -- the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. -- has been outlined by new research, providing a better understanding of the illness. "It's not widely appreciated, but there is still plenty of cell growth going on in adults, with the colon being a good example," a researcher said. "On average, we shed and replace about 70 pounds of intestinal tissue annually, so you can imagine that this process requires exquisite control to prevent tumor formation."." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |

1- Women with severe, chronic health issues are screened for breast cancer less often
----------------------------------------"Women with severe disabilities and multiple chronic conditions are screened for breast cancer less often than women with no disabilities or no chronic conditions, a new study has found. Worldwide, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Deaths have significantly dropped due to advances in prevention and treatment." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- Genetics, lifestyle have a strong impact on biomarkers for inflammation, cancer "For the first time, results from a large-scale study of the significance of genetic, clinical and lifestyle factors for protein levels in the bloodstream have been shown. The results show that genetics and lifestyle are determining factors for protein levels, a discovery that greatly influences the possibilities for using more biomarkers to identify disease." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/08/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |
