Another common bacteria implicated in stomach cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 31 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A common, usually harmless bacteria have a significant role in causing stomach cancer, a new study has found. It joins the better-known, at least in medical circles, H. pylori bacteria as a known cancer risk. Researchers identified the bacteria’s mechanism of action, opening the door to developing therapeutics to reduce the risk.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Gut Bacteria
Genetic variants link meat consumption to increased bowel cancer risk
Posted by ArielTechGeek 32 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Aware of the link between eating red and processed meat and the incidence of colorectal cancer but not the biological basis for it, researchers have now identified two genetic markers that may explain it. Understanding the disease process and the genes underlying it can help develop better prevention strategies.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Diet, Cancer, Genetic

Posted by ArielTechGeek 42 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Shifting from giant accelerators 26 km (16 miles) across to brain surgery theaters, a particle detector first developed by physicists at CERN is being used by scientists in Germany to treat brain tumors with greater precision and safety.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: CERN, Tumors
Radiation-proof Chernobyl worms offer answers about cancer
Posted by ArielTechGeek 43 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Studying a species of microscopic worms exposed to almost forty years of high radiation following an explosion at a Ukrainian nuclear power plant, researchers couldn’t find signs of genetic damage caused by the exposure. They believe the findings will help guide future cancer research.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Nuclear, Radiation, Genome, DNA, New York University
Cancer vaccine for dogs almost doubles survival rates in clinical trial
Posted by ArielTechGeek 44 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The biggest tragedy of pet ownership is that they just don’t live long enough. Thankfully scientists are working on that, with a new cancer vaccine for dogs that almost doubles their survival rates in the face of certain types of the disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Vaccines, Dogs, Pets, Pet-owners, Yale, antibodies
Stubborn liver cancer may have met its match in century-old TB vaccine
Posted by ArielTechGeek 56 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A single injection of the 102-year-old tuberculosis vaccine, BCG, has proven effective at triggering an immune response in mice and shrank their liver cancer tumors, according to research by UC Davis Health. The findings suggest that BCG might be an alternative way of treating this notoriously hard-to-treat cancer.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Tumor, Tuberculosis, UC Dav
Potato chip breakthrough crunches cancer risk for healthier snack
Posted by ArielTechGeek 56 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
In what many of us would consider a true public service to one of the world's best food groups, scientists have flicked the switch on a mechanism that causes cold-stored potatoes to produce the carcinogen acrylamide. Growing these genetically tinkered potatoes could eradicate known cancer risks associated with darkened chips, making them much healthier regardless of processing.Continue ReadingCat
Radioactive ‘fruit sugar’ lights up cancer and inflammation
Posted by ArielTechGeek 57 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A radioactive form of fructose, a natural sugar found in fruit, given to mice lit up areas of cancer and inflammation on a diagnostic medical scan. The researchers say the approach makes diseases easier to spot than current techniques and opens the door to new avenues of early detection.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Sugar, Diagnosis, Diagnostic devices, Cancer, University of Ott
Sandalwood oil extract an effective prostate cancer treatment in mice
Posted by ArielTechGeek 65 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new study has found that, in mouse models of prostate cancer, a compound extracted from sandalwood oil was effective in slowing the onset and growth of tumors and resulted in cell death. Further research will explore whether the extract can be used to treat prostate cancer in humans.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Tumor, Florida Atlantic University
