#Tadpole-like endoscope swims through gastrointestinal tract in search of cancer Endoscopes are essential tools for the medical examination of many organs of the human body,
With cancers of the gastrointestinal (GI TRACT such as esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer, being some of the most commmon of all cancers in the world,
a range of procedures are necessary to physically examine all parts of the GI for maximum diagnostic effect.
Of these, gastroscopy is used to help diagnose esophageal and stomach cancer, whilst intestinal and coleorectal cancers can be determined with the use of capsule endoscopy and colonoscopy, respectively.
Unfortunately, all of these procedures are costly to perform and can place a great deal of stress on someone who may already be quite ill.

#5-yr Study Reveals Why Ovarian Cancer Recurs and How to Stop It Scientists have discovered finally why ovarian cancer frequently comes back after patients receive chemotherapynd theye also found a way to potentially eliminate the recurrence rate for half of patients who have the disease.
A five-year study at the University of California at Los angeles found that coupling chemotherapy with an experimental drug called Birinapant greatly improved survivability in laboratory tissue.
At the core of the problem is the way doctors test for ovarian cancer. One of the things they look for is called a protein CA125.
Chemotherapy targets cells containing the protein and that knocks out the cancer. The UCLA researchers found other cells
allowing ovarian cancer to recur in more than 80%of people treated with chemotherapy alone. e found that these cells were like little time bombs,
the combined treatment attacks the cancer on both fronts. Ebola Suit-Liberia-USAID-CC-Morganawingard-adjusted The researchers plan clinical trials on actual patients next.
Not everyone with ovarian cancer would benefit from this particular combination of therapies. The good news is these two types of cells are present in about 50%of ovarian cancer patients who would be candidates for this dual treatment.

#How Chronic Inflammation Can Lead to Cancer Researchers discover how the immune system can create cancerous DNA mutations when fighting off infection.
or exposure to dangerous chemicals has long been linked to cancer, but exactly how this process takes place has remained unclear.
Now, a precise mechanism by which chronic inflammation can lead to cancer has been uncovered by researchers at MIT a development that could lead to improved targets for preventing future tumors.
the researchers unveil how one of a battery of chemical warfare agents used by the immune system to fight off infection can itself create DNA mutations that lead to cancer.
As many as one in five cancers are believed to be caused or promoted by inflammation. These include mesothelioma,
