Press Review (July 21, 2012) – Revue de presse (21 juillet 2012)


Questioning Surgery for Early Prostate Cancer‎‎‎
A new study shows that prostate cancer surgery, which often leaves men
impotent or incontinent, does not appear to save the lives of men with
early-stage disease, who account for most cases, and many of these men
would do just as well to choose no treatment at all.

Genetic Aberrations Seen as Path to Stop Colon Cancer‎
More than 200 researchers investigating colon cancer tumors have found
genetic vulnerabilities that could lead to powerful new treatments.
The hope is that drugs designed to strike these weak spots will
eventually stop a cancer that is now almost inevitably fatal once it
has spread.

Serious side effects more likely in new cancer drugs‎‎
Many new cancer drugs may come at a price - including a higher risk of
diarrhea, skin problems and high blood pressure, according to an
analysis of studies used to get those medications approved.

Fukushima increases risk of cancer – but not by much‎
Radiation from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will lead
to deaths from cancer – but so few that proving a link with the
nuclear accident could be impossible.

Why Having a Large Baby May Raise Your Risk of Breast Cancer‎‎‎‎
New research shows that women who have larger babies have more than
twice the risk of breast cancer, compared with mothers who give birth
to smaller infants. What's the connection?

Breast cancer metastasis to bone driven by stress, researchers report‎
Stress can promote breast cancer cell colonization of bone, Vanderbilt
Center for Bone Biology investigators have discovered.

Cancer and Injuries More Likely in People With Serious Mental
Illness‎‎
People with serious mental illness -- schizophrenia, bipolar disorder
and disabling depression -- are 2.6 times more likely to develop
cancer than the general population, new Johns Hopkins research
suggests.

Deadly Liver Cancer May Be Triggered by Cells Changing Identity‎‎‎
A rare type of cancer thought to derive from cells in the bile ducts
of the liver may actually develop when one type of liver cell morphs
into a totally different type, a process scientists used to consider
all but impossible. UCSF researchers triggered this kind of cellular
transformation -- and caused tumors to form in mice -- by activating
just two genes.

Cancers et essais nucl$(D??(Baires : un rapport $(D??(Btablit un lien

Selon le sp$(D??(Bcialiste Florent de Vathaire, les retomb$(D??(Bes radioactives
des essais nucl$(D??(Baires fran$(D??(Bais au Sahara et en Polyn$(D??(Bsie sont
possiblement $(D??(B l$B!G(Borigine de certains cas de cancer chez des militaires
et des professionnels du nucl$(D??(Baire. Le lien ne pourra pourtant jamais

Des nanoparticules d'or contre le cancer de la prostate‎
Test$(D??(B en laboratoire, ce traitement aurait moins d'inconv$(D??(Bnients que

Selon une revue syst$(D??(Bmatique de la Cochrane Library,
l'antiangiog$(D??(Bnique, anticorps monoclonal anti-VEFG, b$(D??(Bvacizumab
(Avastin$(D??(B, Roche) offre un b$(D??(Bn$(D??(Bfice modeste en termes de survie sans

patientes atteints d'un cancer du sein m$(D??(Btastatique qui le re$(D??(Boivent
en association avec une chimioth$(D??(Brapie classique.
