MDCT Using Virtual Gastroscopy And Multiplanar Reformation Images Differentiates Between Malignant And Benign Gastric Ulcers
Multidetector CT using virtual gastroscopy and post contrast enhanced multiplanar reformation images can be useful in differentiating between malignant and benign gastric ulcers, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. "Conventional gastroscopy can diagnose patients with gastric ulcers; however the procedure is invasive and occasionally may miss early stage disease.

Using Magnetic Nanoparticles To Combat Cancer
Scientists at Georgia Tech have developed a potential new treatment against cancer that attaches magnetic nanoparticles to cancer cells, allowing them to be captured and carried out of the body. The treatment, which has been tested in the laboratory and will now be looked at in survival studies, is detailed online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

TG2 Identified As Potential Therapeutic Target In Chemo-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
M. D. Anderson team silences protein with siRNA, implicates TG2 in fourth cancer Scientists from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have found overexpression of tissue type transglutaminase (TG2) in ovarian cancer is associated with increased tumor cell growth and adhesion, resistance to chemotherapy and lower overall survival rates.

Rates Of Oesophageal Cancer In UK Among The Worst In Europe,
Call for national research study to investigate the causes of oesophageal cancer The Barrett's Oesophagus Foundation would like to support the Chief Medical Officer's recommendation for a large scale national research study to investigate the risk factors associated with the rising rate of cancer of the oesophagus. This was included in his Annual Report published recently, which raised grave concern over the sharp rise in oesophageal (gullet) cancer over the last two decades.
