<title>Study uncovers genetic diversity of breast cancer</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7315/display/study-uncovers-genetic-diversity-of-breast-cancer.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Nine new genes involved in the development of breast cancer have been uncovered, bringing the total number to at least 40. Scientists led by a team at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute examined genetic changes in the breast tumours of 100 women. The authors say their research, published in the journal Nature, gives a "sobering perspective on the complexity and diversity" of breast cancer, as no two breast cancers shared the same combination of faulty cancer genes.]]></description>

<title>AMPK promotes tumour cell survival during energy stress</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7277/display/ampk-promotes-tumour-cell-survival-during-energy-stress.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[If tumours are to survive and grow, cancer cells need to adapt to environments high in metabolic stress and to avoid programmed cell death (apoptosis). The molecular mechanisms through which cell death and survival are regulated under these conditions are not yet well understood.

<title>HPV-positive throat cancer patients respond better to radiotherapy alone than HPV-negative patients </title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7278/display/hpv-positive-throat-cancer-patients-respond-better-to-radiotherapy-alone-than-hpv-negative-patients-.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[New findings from a large Danish database of cancer patients suggest that, even though the human papilloma virus (HPV) can trigger throat cancer, patients who are HPV-positive and are light smokers, or don't smoke at all, have a good response to treatment using radiotherapy alone, without the addition of chemotherapy with its consequent toxic side-effects.]]></description>

<title>Scientists Map Melanoma's Genome</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7285/display/scientists-map-melanomas-genome.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Researchers have completed the first genome sequencing of melanoma, an aggressive and frequently fatal form of skin cancer. Understanding the genomic landscape that contributes to melanoma development could provide new insight into tumor biology and therapeutic resistance, the study authors said. They believe the discoveries may spur the development of new treatments for melanoma, which will likely kill more than 9,000 people in the United States this year, according to cancer experts.]]></description>

<title>Infection Causes 1 in 6 Cancers Worldwide</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7286/display/infection-causes-1-in-6-cancers-worldwide.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[One in six cancers worldwide is caused by preventable or treatable infections, a new study finds. Infections cause about 2 million cancer cases a year, and 80 percent of those cases occur in less developed areas of the world, according to the study, which was published online May 8 in The Lancet Oncology. Of the 7.5 million cancer deaths worldwide in 2008, about 1.5 million were due to potentially preventable or treatable infections.]]></description>

<title>Guidelines Address Diet, Exercise, and Weight Control for Cancer Survivors</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7261/display/guidelines-address-diet-exercise-and-weight-control-for-cancer-survivors.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[New guidelines from the American Cancer Society recommend that people living with cancer maintain a healthy weight, get enough exercise, and eat a healthy diet. Increasingly, scientific evidence shows that healthy nutrition and physical activity behavior after a diagnosis can lower the chances of the cancer coming back, and can improve the chances of disease-free survival.

<description><![CDATA[A randomized trial on 304 patients with advanced adrenocortical carcinoma showed that rates of response and progression-free survival were significantly better with EDP plus mitotane than with streptozocin plus mitotane as first-line therapy, with similar rates of toxic events, although there was no significant difference in overall survival.]]></description>

<title>Communication "Breakdowns" in Cancer Care </title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/en/7268/display/communication-breakdowns-in-cancer-care-.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[A multicenter telephone-interview study has found that cancer patients often perceive that communication problems with healthcare providers have contributed to a breakdown in their care, but very few formally report their concerns. The study, a project of the NCI’s Cancer Research Network’s Cancer Communication Research Center (CRN CCRC) was reported online first April 16 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.]]></description>
