NEW YORK  - Regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), especially aspirin, may decrease the risk of bladder cancer, particularly more advanced, high-grade tumors containing alterations in the tumor suppressor protein TP53, results of a study suggest.

NEW YORK  - A new study suggests that ovarian cancer screening with a technique called transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) may catch ovarian cancer early, at a more curable stage.

LONDON - Dogs can be trained to sniff out a tell-tale scent of bladder cancer from urine, early experimental results suggest. The canine&#39;s keen sense of smell allows them to identify those with bladder cancer

NEW YORK  - White Americans have a two-fold higher incidence of bladder cancer than black Americans, but the risk of death among blacks is 35 percent higher than whites when patients with the same cancer stage and grade are compared.

Dogs have been trained to detect bladder cancer by sniffing urine, using their acute sense of smell to identify a tiny but characteristic odour released by tumours, a study says.
