with malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, the Daily Mail reported.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMalignant melanoma is the \"most quickly rising\" cancer in Britain, with around 10,000 new cases and 2,000 deaths each year. Rates have doubled in the last two decades, because of excessive tanning by British people on holidays to hot countries.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eIt is now the most common form of cancer in women in their 20s. Around 340 women are diagnosed every year, 50 of whom die.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe cancer tumour, which first manifests itself as a small mole on the skin, can be surgically removed if detected early. But once it spreads to other parts of the body, it is usually terminal. Patients can be given chemotherapy to control it, but it will not stop the disease from advancing.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eNow scientists have claimed that a daily dose of two pills could halt the cancer in its tracks by shrinking tumours, even in the most advanced stages.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe drugs target the harmful protein which causes the tumours to grow in the first place. By disabling the protein, the drugs stop the spread of cancer and can even reverse its growth - although tumours cannot be removed altogether.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe researchers carried out a series of trials on 80 patients with advanced skin cancer. They found that more than half of patients who took the first drug, called \"Braf 436\", saw their tumours reduced by at least 20 percent.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eTumours also shrank in more than half of patients who took a second pill, \"Mek 183\". In a quarter of patients they reduced in size by 50 percent.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe scientists will now carry out trials on people taking both pills at the same time.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"What we want to do now is see the effects of these two drugs taken in combination. We don't yet have the answers but we believe they will be very promising,\" Peter Lebowitz, vice president of clinical development at the drug firm, was quoted as saying.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAlthough patients would not be completely cured, the drugs could hugely improve their life expectancy and standard of living, he said.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e- IANS"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://hypedtalk.blogspot.com/feeds/7861258233052668701/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID\u003d5403865830110720728\u0026postID\u003d7861258233052668701\u0026isPopup\u003dtrue","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5403865830110720728/posts/default/7861258233052668701"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5403865830110720728/posts/default/7861258233052668701"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://hypedtalk.blogspot.com/2010/07/new-pills-shrink-cancer-tumours-by-half.html","title":"New pills shrink cancer tumours by half ."}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Gee TEE"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05453399516295661171"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"35","height":"35","src":"//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403865830110720728.post-6855859545524175206"},"published":{"$t":"2010-07-20T19:49:00.002+05:30"},"updated":{"$t":"2010-07-20T19:49:40.212+05:30"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"tumour"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"research"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"health"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Vitamin C ‘can block tumour growth’"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"Vitamin C can help block the growth of cancer cells, found New Zealand researchers—a feat that could be quickly adopted into cancer treatment.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAfter much controversy over the role of vitamin C in cancer treatment, a team from Otago University at Christchurch have now shown that it has a role in controlling tumour growth.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThey have said that their study of tumorous and normal tissue samples from women with cancer of the uterine lining, has given the first direct evidence of a link between vitamin C and a protein called HIF-1.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHIF (hypoxia inducible factor)-1 is considered a key protein in tumour survival.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHigh activity of it promotes tumour growth and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and is linked with a poor prognosis for patients.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe Christchurch study, led by Associate Professor Margreet Vissers, found that high-grade tumours had around 40 per cent less vitamin C than matched, adjacent, normal tissue.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe study suggests that restoring the vitamin C levels in tumours would limit factors that promote tumour growth, and recommend animal trials to test the hypothesis, say researchers.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eProfessor Vissers said the study indicated that it would be beneficial for people with cancer cells to have more vitamin C.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eIt could help restrict the rate of tumour growth, increase responsiveness to chemotherapy and might prevent formation of solid tumours.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"There''s enough information now for people to be seriously thinking about doing this, to apply this to the clinic or be setting up some clinical trials,\" the New Zealand Herald quoted her as saying.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"Anti-oxidant supplementation may not end up delivering any more vitamin C to the tumour.

It was the biggest such study by far, yet the researchers found no increase in the risk of getting either of two types of brain tumour – and even detected a slightly lower cancer risk among mobile phone users.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe leaders of the Interphone study, which was co-ordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, said yesterday that there were severe limitations on what the research can say about the cancer risk. As a a result, they refused to give mobile phones a clear bill of health, despite being unable to produce any evidence suggesting that the devices can cause brain tumours.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"It is impossible to say there is no risk whatsoever [but] the study has not shown a raised risk of brain tumours and it has certainly not shown that mobile phones cause brain tumours,\" said Professor Anthony Swerdlow of the Institute of Cancer Research in Britain, one of the study's main authors.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"The balance of evidence from this study, and in the previously existing scientific literature, does not suggest a causal link between mobile phone use and risk of brain tumours. The duration of phone use for which we have evidence is currently limited, however, and we have virtually no information for use of mobile phones for longer than 15 years,\" Professor Swerdlow said.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe study, which collated data from a number of smaller studies in each of the 13 countries, compared the mobile-phone usage among about 5,000 brain-cancer patients aged between 30 and 59 who were suffering from either glioma or meningioma [tumours], with mobile-phone usage among a similar number of healthy adults who acted as the controls. No children took part in the study.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThis type of \"case-control\" study relied on interviews with the participants to assess how often they used their mobile phones over a period of up to 10 years previously, which could have introduced some memory bias into the findings. For instance, some of the cancer patients reported that they had used their mobile phones for more than 12 hours a day every day of the year, a heavy usage not reported by the healthy controls.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe scientists thought that this high level of phone use was unlikely and suggested that the memories of some of the patients may have been affected by their medical condition. This is just one of the inherent problems of case-control studies, which have nevertheless proved invaluable in establishing the causes of other types of cancer, such as lung cancer and smoking, the researchers said.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWhen the scientists looked at the cumulative use of mobile phones they failed to find any incremental increase in cancer risk, which would normally be found if there had been a cause-and-effect relation. However, they did find a statistically significant increased risk of glioma in just the top 10 per cent of heavy users – a finding they put down to the possibility of reporting bias.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"Overall, this research has not shown evidence of an increased risk of developing a glioma or meningioma brain tumour as a result of using a mobile phone,\" said Professor Patricia McKinney of Leeds University, another lead author of the study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology. \"This is consistent with published biological studies, which have not established any effect of exposure to radiation from mobile phones at a cellular level, nor found a mechanism by which cancer could be caused,\" Professor McKinney said.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe radio waves produced by mobile phones are non-ionising, unlike ionising X-rays which are known to cause cancer. They are also not strong enough to damage DNA molecules, in contrast to UV light which is also known to induce cancer. This is why there is no known mechanism according to which mobile phone radiation can cause brain tumours.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eMost studies investigating the the health risks of mobile phones have failed to establish a link between the use of the devices and brain tumours. However, a smaller study in Sweden five years ago did find a statistically significant association, but Professor Swerdlow dismissed this as one \"outlier\" study that bucked the trend.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"The results of our study do not get close to establishing causality. It has not shown a raised risk of brain tumours and it has certainly not shown that mobile phones cause brain tumours,\" he said."},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://hypedtalk.blogspot.com/feeds/6305173870064177886/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID\u003d5403865830110720728\u0026postID\u003d6305173870064177886\u0026isPopup\u003dtrue","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5403865830110720728/posts/default/6305173870064177886"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5403865830110720728/posts/default/6305173870064177886"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://hypedtalk.blogspot.com/2010/05/mobile-phones-do-not-raise-risk-of.html","title":"Mobile phones do not raise risk of brain tumours, say scientists"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Gee TEE"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/05453399516295661171"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"35","height":"35","src":"//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}}]}});
