    Study Suggests Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Carries Risk Of Metastasis And Death

    JAMA Dermatology Study Highlights A study by Chrysalyne D. Schmults, M.D., M.S.C.E., of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, and colleagues suggests cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) carries a low but significant risk of metastasis and death. The ten-year retrospective cohort study was...

    'Master' Proto-Oncogene Identified That Regulates Ovarian Cancer Metastasis

    Scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered the signaling pathway whereby a master regulator of cancer cell proteins = known as Src = leads to ovarian cancer progression when exposed to stress hormones. The researchers report in the current issue of Nature...

    The Debate About Cancer Metastasis: Study Helps Resolve The Dilemma

    A team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, has shown for the first time how cancer cells control the ON/OFF switch of a program used by developing embryos to effectively metastasize in vivo, breaking free and spreading to other parts...

    Deadly Skin Cancer Metastasis May Be Halted Following Research Breakthrough

    In laboratory experiments, scientists have eliminated metastasis, the spread of cancer from the original tumor to other parts of the body, in melanoma by inhibiting a protein known as melanoma differentiation associated gene-9 (mda-9)/syntenin. More than 1 million cases of skin cancer are...

    New, Noninvasive Way To Identify Lymph Node Metastasis

    Using two cell surface markers found to be highly expressed in breast cancer lymph node metastases, researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center, working with colleagues at other institutions, have developed targeted, fluorescent molecular imaging probes that can non-invasively detect breast cancer...
