New research has found that painkillers cause cancer tumors to grow more rapidly! Evidence from two new studies that strongly indicates opiate-based painkillers actually fuel the growth and spread of malignancies. The research presented in Boston on November 18, 2009, at "Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics," a joint meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, ...

A cancer vaccine carried into the body on a carefully engineered, fingernail-sized implant is the first to successfully eliminate tumors in mammals. The new approach, pioneered by bioengineers and immunologists, uses plastic disks impregnated with tumor-specific antigens and implanted under the skin to reprogram the mammalian immune system to attack tumors.img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/...

Source: EurekAlert BEER-SHEVA, ISRAEL November 24, 2009 Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev are developing a new device that detects cancerous skin tumors, including melanomas that aren't visible to the naked eye. During initial testing, the OSPI instrument (Optical Spectro-Polarimetric Imaging) revealed new textures of lesions that have never been ...
The debate on how to select patients who will respond best to costly drug treatments for aggressive breast cancer now favors fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to measure the HER-2 receptor found in human breast tumors, according to a leading pathologist presenting at the Association for Molecular Pathology annual meeting.

( This is a fascinating topic and I've compiled info on it at http://www.dragonfly75.com/electro/DCrecap.html DC electricity can be applied to the skin above a tumor to kill it if it is within 1.5" of the skin. That is because the main action of the electric current is to cause the tissue closest to the positive electrode to become more acid and therefore destroy the cancerous ...

http://www.news-medical.net/news/200...st-tumors.a spx "Evaluation of HER-2 status should consider the costs of treatment as well as the potential benefits of therapy," Press said. "And the cost of the diagnostic test is minimal compared with the cost of the medications. More accurate assignment of patients to treatment more than offsets the costs of erroneously treating women whose ...

Short-term follow-up is a reasonable alternative to invasive biopsy of palpable (capable of being touched or felt) breast lesions with benign imaging features, particularly in younger women with probable fibroadenoma (non-cancerous tumors that often occur in women during their reproductive years), according to a study published in the December issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology. ...
