Researchers don't believe 'you are what you eat' with cancer. That disease is always a direct result of what is, or what isn't, on your dinner plate. But studies into the association between diet and cancer show that food can have an impact in preventing cancer, or in reducing the aggressiveness of the disease. |

Lifestyle decisions, such as smoking and consumption of fatty foods, have long been linked to increased cancer risk. During recent years, scientists have been seeking to isolate a variety of personal choices that may stave off the onset of cancer or even reduce tumor formation in their early stages. |

University of Nottingham researchers observed, in a clinical trial of 67 patients, that when the vaccines were administered before and after surgery to remove cancerous tumors, they helped stimulate immune cell production in up to 70 percent of patients. These results are published in the Clinical Cancer Research. |

According to a study published in the Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, cigarette smoking and concurrent infection with high levels of the virus associated with cervical cancer can increase cancer risk by as much as 27 times. |

National Cancer Institute scientists and their colleagues have introduced a new series of research articles, 'Spotlight on Molecular Profiling,' in the Molecular Cancer Therapeutics*. |

Researchers found, in a study of more than 36,000 women, that smokers can reduce their risk of developing lung cancer by being physically active. However, they strongly caution that any relative benefit is dwarfed by the benefits gained from quitting smoking. |

According to a new study by researchers at the University of Minnesota, heavy smokers who have reduced their number of daily cigarettes still experience significantly greater exposure to toxins per cigarette than light smokers. |

Close to half of 154 smokers who had surgery to remove early stage lung cancer picked up a cigarette again within 12 months of their potentially curative operation, and more than one-third were smoking at the one year mark, a study has found. |

University of Michigan Medical Center researchers have, for the first time, identified human pancreatic cancer stem cells. |

When mom or dad puffs on a cigarette, their infants may inhale the resulting second-hand smoke. Now, scientists have detected cancer-causing chemicals associated with tobacco smoke in the urine of nearly half the babies of smoking parents. |

According to researchers, expression of two different proteins taken from primary tumor biopsies is highly associated with spread of breast cancer to nearby lymph nodes. They say this protein profile could help identify at an early stage those patients whose disease is likely to metastasize. |

Ohio State University researchers have discovered that two microRNA molecules help control the oncogene responsible for a dangerous form of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the most common human leukemia in the world. |

According to a study published in the Clinical Cancer Research, pomegranate juice packs a punch on prostate cancer that prolongs post-surgery PSA doubling time, drives down cancer cell proliferation and causes prostate cancer cells to die. |

According to a study published in the Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, the risk for developing the tissue abnormalities, or lesions, that typically precede cervical cancer is much higher for women infected with multiple genotypes of the human papillomavirus than previously reported. |
|

|
Dartmouth Medical School researchers have linked a structural protein called nestin to a particularly deadly form of breast cancer, identifying a new biomarker that could lead to earlier detection and better treatment. |
|
| |
|
University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers who are developing an inexpensive and non-invasive gene probe to help diagnose early stage lung cancer in current and former smokers say DNA coughed up along with phlegm could point to lung cancer |
|

|
“DES daughters,” born to mothers who used the anti-miscarriage drug diethylstilbestrol during pregnancy, are at a substantially greater risk of developing breast cancer compared to women who were not exposed to the drug in utero. |

A research team reported in the Cancer Research that stem cell-like glioma cancer cells that share many characteristics with normal stem cells propel the lethal growth of brain cancers by promoting tumor blood vessel formation, and may hold the key to treating these deadly cancers. |

According to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, cancer research and drug development are yielding more sophisticated candidate therapies, but investigators' methods to test them haven't kept pace. |
|

|
Assisted by immune system-stimulating molecules that mimic bacterial components, researchers have used a type of cancer vaccine to both delay and prevent breast tumors in mice. |
|
| |
|
According to researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, cancer research and drug development are yielding more sophisticated candidate therapies, but investigators' methods to test them haven't kept pace. That could explain why so many experimental drugs fail in the final large and costly phase of testing, they say. |

According to a study led by researchers at Northwestern and Harvard universities, consumption of Vitamin D tablets was found to cut the risk of pancreatic cancer nearly in half. |
|

According to a study, Raloxifene protects postmenopausal women from developing invasive breast cancer whether they are at high or low risk of developing the disease. |
|
| |
|
Purdue University researchers have found a protein in the blood that may prove to be more reliable than the standard prostate specific antigen test in measuring the extent of prostate cancer. |

As diseases go, lung cancer is one of the most formidable. While it is one of the most preventable cancers, with the vast majority of 160,000 annual deaths in the United States due to smoking, it is invariably difficult to find early when it is most amenable to treatment. As a result, it remains the top cancer killer in the nation. |
