These endings or tips, called telomeres, guard against chromosomal damage and genomic instability that can lead to cancer and other diseases........ ]]> http://medicineworld.org/stories/lead/10-2009/challenging-traditional-bladder-treatment-decision.html http://medicineworld.org/stories/lead/10-2009/challenging-traditional-bladder-treatment-decision.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT ATLANTA--A statistical model can accurately predict which patients will have poor outcomes after bladder surgery and can determine the need for chemotherapy. The analysis, to be reported in the December 1, 2009 issue of CANCER, a peer-evaluated journal of the American Cancer Society, concludes that the model, which considers both how far the cancer has spread and other information, such as how the cancer cells look under the microscope and the time between diagnosis and surgery, could better identify patients who need to undergo further therapy........ ]]> http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/9-2007/hpv-might-cause-bladder-cancer.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/9-2007/hpv-might-cause-bladder-cancer.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is considered the cause of one of the most important sexually transmitted diseases nowadays, and affects both men and women. HPV is so common in our society that only people who have never had sexual relations can be sure that they have not been exposed to this disease. However, as with other microbes, people infected do not necessarily develop the disease, because, in most cases, it only means the colonization. Only some of the people colonized will fall ill with different processes........ ]]> http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/7-2007/simple-bladder-cancer-test.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/7-2007/simple-bladder-cancer-test.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT University of Florida scientists have identified a set of proteins that appear to signal the presence of bladder cancer, a discovery they hope will lead to a simple, fast and noninvasive test that can detect the disease early. Working with colleagues at the University of Michigan, the researchers used advances in technology to isolate nearly 200 proteins from the urine of patients with and without bladder cancer. Several appear promising as potential biomarkers, including one that studies conducted elsewhere have already associated with liver and ovary cancer. The findings, available online, are scheduled would be reported in the July 6 print edition of the American Chemical Societys Journal of Proteome Research........ ]]> http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/6-2007/lung-and-bladder-cancer-after-arsenic-exposure.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/6-2007/lung-and-bladder-cancer-after-arsenic-exposure.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT Arsenic exposure appears to continue causing lung and bladder cancer deaths years after exposure ends, as per a research studypublished online June 12 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute Arsenic is a known cause of lung and bladder cancer, but scientists dont yet know how long cancer risk remains elevated after arsenic exposure. The drinking water in a region of northern Chile became contaminated with very high amounts of arsenic beginning in 1958. In the 1970s, construction of water therapy plants in the region led to a decline in arsenic concentration. This sudden rise and fall of arsenic levels gave scientists the opportunity to investigate the period between first and last exposure to high levels of arsenic and subsequent mortality due arsenic-related cancers, such as bladder and lung cancer........ ]]> http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/11-2006/smoking-related-cancers.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/11-2006/smoking-related-cancers.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT There are currently about fifty million smokers in the U.S. and there are another fifty million ex-smokers. Cigarette smoking has been linked to several human malignancies. Some of these links like the relationship between smoking and lung cancer are well established. In some other cases the relationship between smoking and cancer is not very well established. However several studies have clearly shown the malignant potential of chemical substances in cigarette smoke. This article is an attempt to summarize some of the known links between cigarette smoking and caner........ ]]> http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/6-2006/suggest-your-news-item-to-medicineworld.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/6-2006/suggest-your-news-item-to-medicineworld.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/12-2005/merry-christmas-to-all-our-readers.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/12-2005/merry-christmas-to-all-our-readers.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/12-2005/phase-2-study-for-bladder-cancer.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/12-2005/phase-2-study-for-bladder-cancer.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/11-2005/surgery-less-likely-in-older-bladder-cancer-patients.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/11-2005/surgery-less-likely-in-older-bladder-cancer-patients.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/11-2005/broccoli-could-prevent-bladder-cancer.html http://medicineworld.org/cancer/lead/11-2005/broccoli-could-prevent-bladder-cancer.html Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:32:59 GMT
