New combined therapy helps extend lives of men with prostate cancer

Practice-changing research from Cedars-Sinai Cancer shows that a combination of androgen deprivation therapy — a commonly used hormone injection — plus pelvic lymph node radiation, kept nearly 90% of clinical trial patients’ prostate cancer at bay for five years. The findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal The Lancet. The study also shows that patients […]

New cancer subtype may illuminate treatment strategy

AIHBA / By Editor

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have identified a previously unrecognized form of hormone therapy-resistant prostate cancer, as well as a set of molecules that drive its growth. This discovery opens the door to the development of therapies that treat this specific disease. In the study, published May 27 in

Hormones contribute to sex disparities in bladder cancer, study shows

AIHBA / By Editor

Male sex hormones interfere with the body’s ability to fight bladder cancer, likely explaining why males experience higher cancer rates and more deadly disease, according to a new study co-led by a Cedars-Sinai Cancer investigator. These findings, published in Science Immunology, could represent a significant step toward unraveling why disparities in cancer incidence, prognosis and

Why do some people live to be 100? Intestinal bacteria may hold the answer

AIHBA / By Editor

We are pursuing the dream of eternal life. We fast to stay healthy. And each year, we spend billions of kroner on treatment to make sure we stay alive. But some people turn 100 years old all by themselves. Why is that? Researchers from the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research at the University

Novel PET imaging agent detects earliest signs of Alzheimer's disease

AIHBA / By Editor

A new highly selective PET imaging agent can detect the presence of overexpressed monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) in cognitively unimpaired individuals with high beta amyloid (Ab) — one of the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease — according to research published in the October issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. The radiotracer, 18F-SMBT-1, allows for a

'Coolsculpting' inventors develop new non-surgical method for targeting fat

AIHBA / By Editor

How cool is this: the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) laboratory that invented cryolipolisis or “Coolsculpting,” a popular non-surgical method for reducing fat under the skin, is developing a new form of the technology that can selectively reduce fat almost anywhere in the body using a safe, injectable ice solution or “slurry.” The technology, not yet

How breast cancer arises

AIHBA / By Editor

In what may turn out to be a long-missing piece in the puzzle of breast cancer, Harvard Medical School researchers have identified the molecular sparkplug that ignites cases of the disease currently unexplained by the classical model of breast-cancer development. A report on the team’s work is published May 17 in Nature. “We have identified

The technology that can detect rapid pressure changes inside your heart

AIHBA / By Editor

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have used cutting-edge imaging technology to measure acute pressure changes inside the heart. The state-of-the-art technology uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create detailed images of the heart. Using the new technology, the team discovered that pressure inside the heart goes up when given a specific medication for

Scientists find new ways to prevent skin scarring

AIHBA / By Editor

A new study in Burns & Trauma, published by Oxford University Press, reveals promising new strategies to prevent skin scarring after injuries. While scars are common when wounds heal, hypertrophic scarring is a skin condition characterized by deposits of excessive amounts of collagen. This results in a thick and often raised scar. The underlying mechanisms

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can control prostate cancer with fewer side effects

AIHBA / By Editor

In recent years, a new treatment strategy known as focal therapy (partial gland ablation) has emerged for prostate cancer considered to be “intermediate risk” — mostly, small tumors confined to one area of the prostate. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), researchers have been working closely with an advanced focal therapy approach known as
