Low-Fat Diet With Fish Oil Supplements Slows Growth Rate Of Prostate Cancer Cells
10/28/2011
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered that the growth of prostate cancer cells slowed down in men that ate a low-fat diet together with fish oil supplements for four to six weeks before prostate removal compared to men who ate a Western diet high in fat. The study appeared Oct...
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Survival Predicted With Blood Proteins
10/28/2011
According to investigators at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Centocor R&D, a group of blood proteins can foresee which patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) - a progressive lung disease - are more likely to die within two years or live at least five years...
Wart Treatment Compound May Treat Leukemia Effectively
10/28/2011
Researchers have developed a new potential leukemia therapy that specifically targets cancerous cells, without attacking healthy cells. At present the majority of chemotherapy treatments attack both cancer cells and healthy cells, causing considerable adverse effects, such as depression, anxiety, nausea, hair loss and fatigue...

Night Shift Working "A Probable Human Carcinogen"
10/28/2011
In 2007 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified night work as a "probable human carcinogen," since then researchers have been searching for the biological mechanisms involved. The investigators believe that a prime suspect is the disruption of human circadian rhythms (24 hour 'body clock')...
