g drug for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. After the first phase of the study, the recommended Phase II dose was 125 mg/m2 of Abraxane followed by 1000 mg/m2 of gemcitabine on days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle. In Phase II, almost half of the patients responded (overall response rate was 48% (21/44)) and two-thirds experienced disease control (disease control rate was 68% (30…

ms divided by the square of his/her height in meters). A normal BMI ranges from 18.5 to 25. For children there is another calculation that implies age and sex. A person under 20 with a BMI between the 85th and 95th percentile is overweight. Another study showed that obesity multiplied the risk of metastases by 5 and prostate cancer grew 3 times faster in obese patients. The study was presented in…

Autopsy studies have found prostate cancer in one-third of men between 40 and 60, and in 75% of men over 85; in most of those cases, the cancers are harmless. “Many men with localized prostate cancer will never have problems,” said Dr. Roger Chou of Oregon Health & Science University, pa…

The researchers then confirmed their findings in another 70 US patients with advanced cancer, which revealed that nine genes could accurately spot who had the least chance of survival. Patients with this “bad” gene signature survived for an ave…
r cells on the prostate. This was a “proof of concept” study involving 41 patients. They used a probe, placed close to the prostate, which emits sound waves that heat the targeted cells to 80C, while causing minimal damage to surrounding nerves and muscles.

These mutations can be found in around 50% of melanoma and in 8% of solid tumors. After receiving the FDA approval in August 2011, Zelboraf was approved by the European Commission for the treatment of inoperable or metastatic melanoma. Zelboraf ha…
A couple of hamburgers a week could increase the chances of getting prostate cancer by 40%, according to new a research.
