Now 15 inches long and weighing 12 pounds, it has blinded him in one eye and made eating a daily ordeal. As it begins to block his airways, doctors fear his life could be in danger. But now one of Britain's leading facial surgeons has proposed treating Jose, 51, by employing ultrasound waves to coagulate the blood before the operation. This should allow his growths to be removed without risk of heavy bleeding – satisfying his religious prohibition on blood transfusi

A reduction in insulin production brought on by a diet low in carbohydrates can stall the growth of prostate tumors, according to a new study performed on mice. Insulin, and a related substance known as insulin-like growth factor (IGF), have been linked with the growth of prostate tumors in previous research. For the new study, researchers divided 75 mice into groups eating either a low-carbohydrate diet, a low-fat but high-carbohydrate diet, or a diet high in both fat and carbohydrates. The mice on the low-carbohydrate diet had the longest survival and smallest tumor size. Low-fat mice had shorter survival and larger tumors, and mice on the high-fat, high-carb diet had the worst survival and biggest tumors.Sources:Eurekalert November 13, 2007

Hey, I just came across this today in Science Daily. We all know how beneficial low carbohydrate diets are for various cancers and there are more and more studies out there that show this. Now, another on prostate cancer, but be warned - it is a mice study. This will lead to a human one and hopefully more recognition for low carb diets.In the study they compared tumour growth in mice fed a low carb diet, a low fat diet and a western diet that is high in both fat and carbohydrates. The low fat diet had a shorter survival time and large tumour but western diet faired the worst with the shortest survival time and biggest tumour out of all three. Naturally the low carb diet faired the best with the longest survival and smallest tumours but as well as that not only did they share lower insulin levels like the low fat group they also had lower levels of the form of IGF, which is capable of stimulating tumor growth.I liked this quote:"This study showed that cutting carbohydrates may slow tum

By Andrew Czyzewski12 October 2007Br J Cancer 2007; Advance online publicationMedWire News: Women with advanced breast cancer have fewer and less immunoresponsive dendritic cells than healthy individuals, study findings indicate.The researchers also show that the immune response of these compromised cells can be boosted with CD40 ligand in vitro, offering hope for effective immunotherapies for breast cancer.Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells that play a central role in initiating and directing antitumor immunity and are therefore important in the defense against cancer, explain José Alejandro López (Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane, Australia) and colleagues in the British Journal of Cancer.Tumors employ numerous mechanisms to evade immune detection and elimination, however, including suppression of dendritic cells.Click here to see the rest of this article in MedWire News Reprinted with kind permission from MedWire News permalink TechnoratiPhilippine Nurs

Video: Jurassic DocsPaleontologists Teach Medical Students About Fossil TumorsScience Daily — Using medical-physics tools such as CT scans, medical students can learn to recognize a tumor even in a 150-million-year-old dinosaur bone. Paleontologists say the role of disease during evolution can shed light on the origins of some common medical problems. The discovery of osteosarcomas in dinosaur bones has strengthened the idea that dinosaurs grew quickly, more like birds or mammals than like reptiles.PITTSBURGH--Think you have nothing in common with a Tyrannosaurus rex or animals from the Jurassic era?

Treatment improves survival by causing melanoma cells to self-destructDoctors are hopeful about a new drug to treat skin cancer by causing tumor cells to self-destruct by overloading them with oxygen.Unlike regular cells, which can control their oxygen levels relatively easily, cancer cells have trouble balancing the levels.With the new drug STA-4783, doctors may be able to overload the cancer cells with oxygen-containing chemicals to the point where the cells cannot cope and simply die off, according to research presented Wednesday at a meeting of the European Cancer Organization in Barcelona.Link to complete story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20992619/ ~Sandy G.

A novel gene was discovered recently that suppresses the growth of human tumors in a number of different cancers. The study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, found that the gene HACE1, an acronym for HECT domain and ankyrin repeat containing, E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1, is able to help cells deal with various forms of stress that cause tumor formation (1). What is a ubiquitin protein ligase? Ubiquitin is a small protein consisting of only 76 amino acids. It is attached to other proteins by an enzyme called a protein ubiquitin ligase in a process known as ubiquitination. Ubiquitin acts as a marker that targets proteins for proteolysis (meaning cleavage of proteins by proteases, enzymes that degrade protein molecules). Ubiquitin is appropriately named since it is ubiquitious and present in essentially all cell types. The process of ubiquitination occurs in three steps: Ubiquitin is activated by an E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme. Activated ubiquitin is transferred from E1 to

The annual Children’s Tumor Foundation NF Conference was held in Park City, Utah earlier this week (June 10-12). For three days, research and clinical investigators from around the world met to present their data and discuss the latest findings in neurofibromatosis (NF) research. This year the meeting focused on models, mechanisms and therapeutic targets. The Children’s Tumor Foundation is dedicated to ending NF through research. The Foundation has sponsored research for over 25 years to understand the molecular basis of NF and to establish effective treatments and improve the lives of those living with the disease. What is neurofibromatosis (NF)? NF is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant genetic disorder of the nervous system that causes clinically benign tumors to form on peripheral and optic nerves. However, 30-50% of NF cases arise as a result of a spontaneous genetic change. Tumors that develop in individuals with NF can cause disfigurement, deafness, blindness,

The cell cycle is a series of ordered events that occur in a cell between it’s initial formation and eventual duplication and division into two daughter cells. Cells in the human body normally reproduce up to ~50 times (1), doubling their number with each cell cycle. Stem cells provide a pool of dividing cells to replace those that have died. Interphase, the period between cell divisions, is where most cells remain for at least 90% of the cell cycle. Interphase consists of three phases: G1 (for gap 1), S phase (for synthesis) and G2 (for gap 2). During G1, the cell undergoes rapid growth and metabolic activity, including production of RNA and synthesis of protein. For the cell to divide and produce an identical copy of itself, its genome must be duplicated. DNA replication occurs in S phase. During G2, cell growth continues and the cell prepares for division.

For those of you following Bruno’s story, we were able to meet with one of the top surgeons yesterday and he definitely has a nerve sheath tumor according to the MRI.  The doctor believes it is cancerous and due to the location it is not operable and you cannot use radiation.  It is located directly on the spine at C6-C7 and is starting to penetrate into the spinal cord itself.  We are just doing comfort measures at this time and praying we get more time with him than the doctors are predicting. His personality has not changed and he does not appear to be much different except for the limp in his left front leg.  When the doorbell rings, he is right there to greet whoever is visiting and yesterday he even jumped up when I went to get the leashes to go for a walk.  So for now he seems to be acting like himself and is happy with the things that make him happy.  For that we are grateful and will enjoy every precious moment we have left with him.   He has truly blessed our l

I have not written any posts for a few days as I have been very busy running back and forth to the vet.  We have been trying to figure out what has been wrong with our brindle boy Bruno.  He went lame on his front left leg a month or so ago.  We had done x-rays, of course fearing the worst, that he had osteosarcoma like Caddy had.  The x-rays of the leg and shoulder all came back clear.  Whew!!!  That was a huge relief.  So then we tried a steroid injection into the shoulder.  This did nothing.  He still continued to not use the leg.  The more this had gone on the muscles around the shoulder had begun to atrophy.  We were very fortunate last week to get an MRI on his spine/shoulder area.  Ohio State University just received a new MRI machine and needed a dog to “test” the machine out.   We volunteered Bruno. The MRI results came back yesterday as a suspicious area in the C6-C7 area of the spine.  The preliminary diagnosis based on the MRI findings and his sy

Methods to quantify the probable clinical aggressiveness of a given neoplasm and to express its apparent extent and spread in the individual patient are necessary for comparisons of end results of various forms of treatment Note: when compared to grading, staging is more important for prognosis clinically Tumor Grade Grading of a cancer attempts to establish some estimate of its aggressiveness or level of malignancy based on the cytologic differentiation of tumor cells and the number of mitoses within the tumor May be classified as grade I, II, III, or IV, in order of increasing anaplasia ~ i.e. (1) is well differentiated and (4) is poorly differentiated Criteria for the individual grades vary with each form of neoplasia Tumor Stage Staging of cancers is based o
