Contrast Agent With MRI Improves Detection Of Lymph Nodes Metastases 2 Feb 2010 at 5:00am Addition of the contrast agent gadolinium during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for primary tumor assessment improved accuracy for detecting lymph node metastases, according to a new study published online February 1 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute... Leukemia Vaccine Appears To Mop Up Cancer Cells Gleevec Leaves Behind 7 Jan 2010 at 12:00pm Preliminary investigations by US researchers suggest that a vaccine made with leukemia cells appears able to reduce or wipe out the last few cancer cells that are left behind in some patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are taking the drug Gleevec (Imatinib mesylate)... Morbidity Of Open Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection For Testicular Cancer... 31 Dec 2009 at 2:00am UroToday.com - Ours is a retrospective review of patients who underwent open retroperitoneal lymph node dissection between 2001-2008... New Genetic Cause Of A Fatal Immune Disorder 3 Nov 2009 at 5:00am Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is an inherited, fatal, immune disorder characterized by uncontrolled activation of immune cells known as lymphocytes and macrophages. Disease-causing mutations have been identified in several genes that generate proteins involved in lymphocyte-mediated cell death, including syntaxin-11... Toronto Researchers Discover Novel Circulation In Human Eye, New Glaucoma Tre... 7 Oct 2009 at 7:00am Researchers at the University of Toronto, St. Michael's Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre have discovered a previously unidentified form of circulation within the human eye which may provide important new insights into glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness... Elevated Lymphotoxin Expression In Liver Leads To Chronic Hepatitis And Cause... 6 Oct 2009 at 9:00am A recent study maps the pathway that leads from infection with Hepatitis B and C virus (HBV and HCV) to chronic hepatitis and liver cancer and proposes a new therapeutic strategy for treating liver diseases with chronic inflammation... Fighting Spread Of Mosquito-Borne Diseases Using Parasite Bacteria 2 Oct 2009 at 8:00am Infecting mosquitoes with a bacterial parasite could help prevent the spread of lymphatic filariasis, one of the major neglected tropical diseases of the developing world, according to research published in the journal Science. Lymphatic filariasis affects more than 120 million people worldwide - over 40 million of these are seriously incapacitated and disfigured by the disease... News From The American Journal Of Pathology, October 2009 29 Sep 2009 at 6:00am B-Cell Lymphoma Protected by SPAK Silencing A group led by Dr. Michael Teitell at UCLA has demonstrated that misregulation of the protein SPAK may contribute to B-cell lymphoma development. Their report can be found in the October 2009 issue of the American Journal of Pathology. B-cell lymphomas are the most frequent human immune system cancers... A Novel Concept Of Growing Cells On Lymph Nodes: Pitt Researchers Receive $5 ... 28 Sep 2009 at 4:00am Regenerative medicine researchers at the University of Pittsburgh received two grants totaling more than $5 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to explore new methods for cultivating replacement cells from existing tissues and organs.

Ultrasound Can Predict Tumor Burden And Survival In Melanoma Patients 24 Sep 2009 at 9:00am Researchers have shown for the first time that patterns of ultrasound signals can be used to identify whether or not cancer has started to spread in melanoma patients, and to what extent. The discovery enables doctors to decide on how much surgery, if any, is required and to predict the patient's probable survival... Highlights From The John Theurer Cancer Center And Leukemia And Lymphoma Society 23 Sep 2009 at 6:00am Oncology experts from leading cancer organizations from around the country, including the John Theurer Cancer Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, the Mayo Clinic, Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the National Cancer Institute, will discuss trends in patient care, novel therapies through clinical trials and emerging concepts in the management of hematological malignancies... Experimental Drug Lets B Cells Live And Lymphoma Cells Die 23 Sep 2009 at 4:00am An investigative drug deprived non-Hodgkin lymphoma cells of their ability to survive too long and multiply too fast, according to an early study published recently in the journal Experimental Hematology. To function normally, the cells that make up bodily tissues must "decide" when to divide and multiply (proliferate) and when to die...
