Man may not live by bread alone, but cancer in animals appears less resilient, judging by a study that found chemotherapy drugs work better when combined with cycles of short, severe fasting. Even fasting on its own effectively treated a majority of cancers tested in animals, including cancers from human cells...
DVT And PE In Joint Replacement Patients May Be Prevented By Aspirin
2/09/2012
Following a total joint replacement, anticoagulation (blood thinning) drugs can prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot deep within the extremities, or a pulmonary embolism (PE), a complication that causes a blood clot to move to the lungs. However, prolonged use of these therapies may increase the risk of hemorrhage and infection...

Soy Isoflavone Supplementation Not Effective In Breast Cancer Protection
2/08/2012
A study published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, reveals that breast cancer cell proliferation was not lowered with soy isoflavone supplements in a randomized human trial. Isoflavone are components of soy foods believed to have anti-estrogen activity...
For Personalizing Cancer Therapy, Metabolic Profiles Are Essential
2/08/2012
One way to tackle a tumor is to take aim at the metabolic reactions that fuel their growth. But a report in the February Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press Publication, shows that one metabolism-targeted cancer therapy will not fit all. That means that metabolic profiling will be essential for defining each cancer and choosing the best treatment accordingly, the researchers say...
