The four-strand structure of DNA plays an important role in the process of creation of cancerous cells and in the prohibition of a type of active enzyme in cancers.
#Sensor technology can improve accuracy of prostate cancer diagnosis, research shows Abstract: New research has shown how a smart sensor chip,

Because of their essential role in our immune response, they are useful clinical biomarkers for detecting prostate cancer and other diseases.
In doing so, they developed a more accurate and efficient way of diagnosing prostate cancer than the current tests
the sugar part of the prostate cancer glycoprotein is reacted with a custom-designed molecule that contains a boron group at one end (the boron linkage forms a reversible bond to the sugar).
and the only key that will fit is the specific prostate cancer glycoprotein that we're looking for.

#Chitosan coated, chemotherapy packed nanoparticles may target cancer stem cells (Nanowerk News) Nanoparticles packed with a clinically used chemotherapy drug
and kill cancer stem-like cells, according to a recent study led by researchers at The Ohio State university Comprehensive Cancer Center-Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital
and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James). Cancer stem-like cells have characteristics of stem cells
and are present in very low numbers in tumors. They are highly resistant to chemotherapy
and kill cancer stem-like cells six times more effectively than free doxorubicin. The study is reported in the journal ACS Nano("Chitosan-Decorated Doxorubicin-Encapsulated Nanoparticle Targets
and Eliminates Tumor Reinitiating Cancer Stem-like Cells").""Our findings indicate that this nanoparticle delivery system increases the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin with no evidence of systemic toxic side effects in our animal model,
and be used to treat many types of cancer.""This study showed that chitosan binds with a receptor on cancer stem-like cells called CD44,
enabling the nanoparticles to target the malignant stem-like cells in a tumor. The nanoparticles were engineered to shrink,

#A'nanomachine'for surgery with no incision (Nanowerk News) A surgical operation has long been considered one of the first options in cancer treatment;
and is delivered to cancer tissues. The research team has clarified that selective accumulation of the developed nanomachine in a cancer tumor enables contrast imaging of a solid cancer.
Moreover, when the Team applied the nanomachine to cancer neutron capture therapy, they confirmed a remarkable curative effect.
This nanomachine therapy enables an imaging-guided thermal neutron irradiation treatment; thus it can be expected to lead to a reliable cancer treatment with no missed cancer cells.
The realization of surgery with no incision (chemical surgery) by nanomachine allows us to anticipate outpatient treatment with no need of hospitalization n

#Vitamin c shown to annihilate cancer Vitamin c is a well-known antioxidant and is used commonly to fight off a cold.
Inexpensive possible cancer treatment may never reach patients Conducted in vitro, lab tests were performed by injecting high doses of Vitamin c into human ovarian cells.
This major finding could potentially save millions of lives and at only a fraction of the price of modern cancer treatments.
"Patients are looking for safe and low-cost choices in their management of cancer. Intravenous Vitamin c has that potential based on our basic science research and early clinical data."
Low levels of Vitamin c can increase your risk for various cancers and arthritis. Other health issues caused by low levels of Vitamin c include:

two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they are 70. While the trials have provided great optimism in regards to future cancer treatments,
the successful results have yet to be replicated. The Australian Cancer Research Foundation refrained from commenting on the story
and are waiting for more clinical trials to be done in the field of virotherapy and cancer.
However Dr Hayley Frend, science information manager at Cancer Research UK said she was excited by the results. sing a virus to both kill cancer cells

#Finally, a way to catch symptomless pancreatic cancer in time It's the sneakiest of cancers and as many as 80 per cent of cases are identified too late.
The disease has one of the worst cancer survival rates, with less than 4 per cent of people living for five years or more after diagnosis. A major cause of this is that
Raghu Kalluri of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston found that there is so much more glypican-1 in people with pancreatic cancer that a blood test can be used to accurately distinguish them from both healthy controls and people with the disease pancreatitis."
"The margin is always large enough to detect cancer exosomes, "says Kalluri. When to test?"
"says Nell Barrie of the charity Cancer Research UK.""This could, in turn, one day offer a way to spot diseases like pancreatic cancer at a much earlier stage,
potentially providing doctors with a measure for how advanced the cancer is and a way to monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
which could boost our ability to track the spread of diseases such as cancer. Humar and his colleagues developed three ways to get cells to emit visible light.
is the deadliest form of cancer that kills about 1. 6 million people every year. It is difficult to treat the cancer as it is usually diagnosed late.
In addition a number of patients are found unsuitable for surgery due to their smoking-related diseases.
Those drugs stop cancers by turning off the immune system of human so that it could keep on attacking the harmful tumor.
#System Combines Optical Microscopy, MRI Combining optical and MRI techniques, a new imaging system aims to uncover the complexities of tumors to help better tailor cancer treatment.

#Telomerase Cancer cell Mutation Mystery Solved More than 500,000 people in the United states die each year of cancer-related causes
Recent cancer research has shown that highly recurrent mutations in the promoter of the TERT gene are the most common genetic mutations in many cancers,
and binds the mutant TERT promoter in tumor cells from four different cancer types, underscoring that this is a common mechanism of TERT reactivation.
The identified transcription factor and its regulators have great potential for the development of new precision therapeutic interventions in cancers that harbor the TERT mutations.
The ability of many brain tumors to regenerate can be traced to cancer stem cells that evade treatment and spur the growth of new tumor cells.
The cancer stem cells'remarkable abilities have to be maintained, and researchers at Washington University School of medicine in St louis have identified a key player in that maintenance process.

Those same, more defiant cells also are much better at reestablishing cancer after treatment.""These tumor stem cells are really the kingpins of cancers--the cells that direct
and drive much of the harm done by tumors, "said Kim, who treats patients at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of medicine.
Kim and his colleagues identified a protein, known as SOX2, that is active in brain tumor stem cells and in healthy stem cells in other parts of the body.
That general approach is in clinical trials as a therapy for other cancers, viral infections and other illnesses.
