1- One in three people with cancer has anxiety or other mental health challenges
----------------------------------------"Nearly a third of more than 2,100 patients with cancer interviewed at inpatient and outpatient care centers experienced a clinically meaningful level of mental or emotional distress that meets the strict diagnostic criteria for mental disorders including anxiety, depressive and adjustment disorders during the prior four weeks. The prevalence of these issues varied by cancer type." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- Cancer medicine: New, improved, expensive and exploited ? "Two studies published by health economists examine spending on oral anti-cancer drugs as well as a federal program designed to help the poor, which researchers say instead helps hospitals boost profits." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 3- The skin cancer selfie : Gigapixel camera helps diagnose early "Melanoma is the fifth most common cancer type in the US, and it's also the deadliest form of skin cancer. If caught early enough though, it is almost always curable. The gigapixel camera is essentially 34 microcameras in one and has a high enough resolution to zoom in to a tiny freckle making routine screenings available to a larger number of people at a fraction of the cost." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 4- Link between breast implants, cancer under investigation "Cases of possible association between breast implants and a form of lymphoma that may develop tumors at a later stage is currently under investigation. The researchers conclude that breast implants can cause a new subtype of the rare yet malignant lymphoma known as ALCL." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 5- Cell migration: How it works, how new discovery may inform cancer research "During cancer metastasis, immune response or the development of organisms, cells are moving in a controlled manner through the body. Researchers have now discovered novel mechanisms of cell migration by observing cells moving on lines of connective tissue. Their results could lead to new approaches in combating cancer metastasis and inflammation." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 6- Tumors might grow faster at night "A hormone that keeps us alert also suppresses the spread of cancer, researchers have discovered. The study suggests, therefore, that nighttime is the right time for cancer to grow and spread in the body, and that administering certain treatments in time with the body's day-night cycle could boost their efficiency." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |

1- New 'lab-on-a-chip' could revolutionize early diagnosis of cancer
----------------------------------------"A breakthrough paper has been published describing researchers' invention of a miniaturized biomedical testing device for exosomes. "Exosomes are minuscule membrane vesicles -- or sacs -- released from most, if not all, cell types, including cancer cells," said one chemist. "They were once thought to be trash bags containing unwanted cellular contents. However, in the past decade scientists realized that exosomes play important roles in many biological functions through capsuling and delivering molecular messages in the form of nucleic acids and proteins from the donor cells to affect the functions of nearby or distant cells."." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- 'Cyberwar' against cancer gets a boost from intelligent nanocarriers "Cancer possesses special traits for cooperative behavior and uses intricate communication to distribute tasks, share resources, and make decisions. New research now offers additional insight into the lethal interaction between cancer cells and the immune system's communications network." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 3- Testosterone promotes prostate cancer in rats "A researcher who found that testosterone raised the risk of prostate tumors and exacerbated the effects of carcinogenic chemical exposure in rats is urging caution in prescribing testosterone therapy to men who have not been diagnosed with hypogonadism, according to a new study." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 4- Thyroid carcinoma: Biomarker reveals cancer cause "The expression of the protein CLIP2 provides information on whether a papillary thyroid carcinoma was induced by radiation or had a sporadic origin. With this discovery, scientists have identified a new biomarker for the diagnosis of the cancer cause." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |

1- Potential link between breast cancer genes, salivary gland cancer
----------------------------------------"The risk of developing cancer in a salivary gland might be higher in people with mutations in either of two genes associated with breast and ovarian cancer. Salivary gland cancer is rare, but this new study suggests it occurs 17 times more often in people with inherited mutations in genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- Flies with colon cancer help unravel genetic keys to disease in humans "A fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) model has been developed that reproduces human colon cancer. Through their work, the scientists have identified a human gene that favors the proliferation of tumour cells in early stages of colon cancer. Flies, it turns out, are useful for faster and more economic drug screening." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 3- Survival molecule helps cancer cells hide from the immune system "The molecule nuclear factor kappa B helps tumors grow by inhibiting the body's ability to detect cancer cells, research shows. The molecule suppresses immune surveillance mechanisms, including the production of cells that inhibit immune responses. The research suggests that cancer immune therapy might be improved if combined with NF-kB inhibitors, and it provides new details about interactions between cancer cells and non-cancer cells that assist tumor growth." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 4- 'Achilles heel' in metabolic pathway identified, could lead to new treatments for lung cancer "An “Achilles heel” in a metabolic pathway crucial to stopping the growth of lung cancer cells has been identified by researchers. At the heart of this pathway lies PPAR³, a protein that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism in normal cells. Researchers demonstrated that by activating PPAR³ with antidiabetic drugs in lung cancer cells, they could stop these tumor cells from dividing." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 5- New at-risk group identified for gastrointestinal stromal tumors "The clearly defined epidemiology of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), have been identified by researchers for the first time. These tumors occur primarily in the lining of the stomach and small intestine. One key finding: Patients of Asian descent, who have not previously been identified as an at-risk population, are 1.5 times more likely than other patient groups to be diagnosed with this type of tumor." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |

1- Discovery may lead to lower doses of chemotherapy
----------------------------------------"Many cancer cells resist chemotherapy. Chemists have found a protein switch that activates resistance. The discovery opens the door for medications that will make tumors more sensitive to chemotherapy." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 2- RNA molecules found in urine, tissue that detect prostate cancer "Potential biomarkers may pave way to a more sensitive, specific, and non-invasive prostate cancer screening assay, according to a report. Today, prostate cancer is primarily detected and monitored by testing for high concentrations of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in blood samples. The researchers believe that they have identified a group of RNA molecules that hold the potential for serving as better prognostic markers for prostate cancer." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 3- Understanding the bushmeat market: Why do people risk infection from bat meat ? "Ebola, as with many emerging infections, is likely to have arisen due to human interaction with wild animals -- most likely the practice of hunting and eating wild meat known as 'bushmeat.' A team of researchers has surveyed almost 600 people across southern Ghana to find out what drives consumption of bat bushmeat -- and how people perceive the risks associated with the practice." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/...ily%3A+Top+Health+News%29 |
