What You Eat May Influence Colon Cancer Relapse
People treated for colon cancer may want to watch what they eat, a new study suggests.

Bacteria Successful In Cancer Treatment
Bacteria that thrive in oxygen starved environments have been used successfully to target cancer tumours, delivering gene therapy based anti-cancer treatments. For about half of cancer sufferers our traditional treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy are ineffective, so alternative techniques are being developed to target their tumours.

Taxol Bristle Ball: New Delivery Method For Anti-Cancer Drug
Chemists have discovered a way to load dozens of molecules of the anti-cancer drug Taxol onto tiny gold spheres. The result is a ball many times smaller than a living cell that literally bristles with the drug. Researchers hope to use the Taxol bristle ball to deliver large quantities of Taxol directly to cancer cells.

Anti-cancer Drug Effective In Mouse Model Going To Clinical Trials
A new study demonstrates the anti-cancer effect of a new therapeutic (eIF4E-specific anti-sense oligonucleotides) in a mouse model of human tumors and has spawned clinical trials to test the ability of this therapeutic to treat human cancers.

Targeting Nerve Growth Factor May Cure Liver Cancer, Study Suggests
Biologists have published a surprising discovery that NGF and its receptor were aberrantly expressed in the liver of the patients troubled with liver cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These two molecules are not expressed in the liver of healthy people.
