TUESDAY, Jan. 4 (HealthDayNews) -- Specific molecular events that cause a cell to switch from active growth to a permanent halt of growth -- a state called senescence -- have been identified by scientists at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.

A new test that counts cancer cells in the bloodstreams of patients with advanced breast cancer best tells whether treatment is working, according to a study led by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

New research shows that it's possible to identify men with slowly progressive or latent prostate cancer, reflected by prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels that remain stable or fall over time.

University of Mississippi researchers have determined in a animal embryo model alcohol use fuels the growth of cancerous tumors. For almost a hundred years mounting evidence has linked alcohol use to an increased

A new test invented by a Redwood City medical laboratory can accurately predict which women are likely to have a recurrence of breast cancer and whether they need to undergo debilitating chemotherapy to avoid it.

The first genetic map of colon and   breast cancer shows that nearly 200 mutated genes -- most of   them previously unknown -- help tumors start, grow and spread,   U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.

Women whose breast cancers are detected by X-ray screening are nearly twice as likely to be cancer-free 10 years after treatment than women whose cancers are discovered by hand, a major new study shows.

A new technology that counts cancer cells in the blood helps predict the success of breast cancer treatments more quickly and more reliably than established methods, researchers reported Wednesday.

The way a girl grows during adolescence and even in the womb may play a key, if murky, role in her risk of breast cancer later in life, a study suggests.

TUESDAY, Feb. 5 (HealthDay News) -- Less invasive approaches for determining how far lung cancer has spread may be better than traditional, invasive procedures.

A simple blood test could tell doctors which women with breast cancer need more aggressive treatment, scientists believe. Women with five or more tumour cells in their blood sample would have aggressive disease needing more treatment.

A urine test that detects proteins  given off by malignant growths can identify bladder cancer  faster and perhaps reduce the use of more invasive procedures,  researchers said on Tuesday.

The effectiveness of therapy for advanced breast cancer can be rapidly predicted by an analysis of the level of cancer cells in the patient's blood, according to a study.
