Bladder-Sparing Therapy For Muscle-Infiltrating Bladder Cancer
UroToday.com - Muscle infiltrating bladder cancer is a life-threatening disease. Despite diagnostic and surgical advancements in the last decade, after cystectomy 5-year disease recurrence rate is 30-40% even in referral centers. The introduction of orthotopic neobladder has greatly improved the quality of life and self-perception of patients undergoing cystectomy. To date, radical cystoprostatectomy is the standard treatment of muscle-infiltrating bladder cancer.

Researchers Find Better Way To Identify Melanoma
University of Rochester Medical Center researchers found a new protein produced excessively in malignant melanoma, a discovery that is particularly relevant as skin cancer rates climb dramatically among young women. The protein, IMP-3, is not over-expressed in harmless moles but is increased in the most dangerous types of skin cancer, and in a subset of lesions that can be difficult to predict called thin melanomas.

Bradmer Reports Progression Free Survival Data From Previous Phase II Glioblastoma Multiforme Trials
Bradmer Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: BMR), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of cancer therapies, released progression free survival (PFS) data from two previously conducted Phase II trials of Neuradiab(TM) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients. As an exploratory endpoint of the single arm Phase II trials, the data showed a mean overall PFS of 17.2 months in 19 GBM patients treated with Neuradiab.

New Research From Rhode Island Hospital May Help Predict Outcomes For Stomach Cancer Patients
Researchers at Rhode Island Hospital have identified two potential molecular markers that may predict outcomes for patients with stomach cancer, one of the most common and fatal cancers worldwide. According to the study, published in Clinical Cancer Research, patients who had poor outcomes following surgery for stomach cancer also had extremely low amounts of two proteins, known as gastrokine 1 and 2 (GKN1 and GKN2), which are produced by normal stomach cells.

Researchers Target Specific Genes, Reduce Cancer Cells
A report published on July 18 in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics describes a new approach to fighting cancer. Researchers have located a new type of ultrasensitive genes that seem to control the way cancer expresses itself (cancer-associated phenotypes). It is possible that the growth and survival or tumors and other disease-causing agents may be thwarted if drugs are developed that can target these genes. Dr. Patrick Tan, M.D., Ph.D.

Study Of 31 Countries Finds Wide Variations In Cancer Survival Rates
A large study published in The Lancet Oncology has found that there are wide variations in cancer survival rates between and within many countries around the world. Professor Michel Coleman (Cancer Research UK Cancer Survival Group and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) and over 100 colleagues working on the CONCORD study analyzed 31 countries that provided data on cancer survival.
