Medical Research Breakthroughs and Colorectal cancer
Vaccine for Colorectal cancer: It has been reported that British
scientists have developed a vaccine which stimulates colorectal cancer patient’s
immune system to fight the malignant cells.
On a trial conducted on 67 patients, scientists at the University of
Nottingham found that when vaccines were given before and after the surgery for
removal of the tumour they helped the immune response in upto 70 percent of
patients. The vaccine is said to
stimulate the TNF- alpha protein that is very effective in killing cancer
cells. These results have been reported in the November 15, 2007 issue of
Clinical Cancer Reasearch.

Genes and Disease by the National Center for Biotechnology (Excerpt)
It is not clear why mutations in genes that are essential in all tissues preferentially cause cancer in the colon. However, studies on the equivalent genes in mice and brewer's yeast are helping to further our understanding of the mechanisms of DNA repair and the role that environmental factors might play in colon cancer incidence.

Colorectal Cancer: NWHIC (Excerpt)
Researchers are looking at two new screening tests for colorectal
cancer, both of which detect polyps and cancers early. One test is called
a virtual colonoscopy. A small tube is placed inside the rectum
for less than 5 minutes (with a traditional colonoscopy, this process
takes longer). Images are recorded and put into a computer using
computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT) scan or magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI or MR). The technician then looks at these
recorded images to explore the rectum and colon for polyps and cancers.
The other test is a stool test (like the FOBT), that looks for DNA, or
genetic material, in the stool. Early data suggest that this stool test
may be very accurate in picking up any problems, polyps, and cancers. (Source: excerpt from Colorectal Cancer: NWHIC)
What You Need To Know About Ovarian Cancer: NCI (Excerpt)
A large-scale study, known as the PLCO
(Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian) Cancer
Screening Trial, is currently evaluating the usefulness
of a blood test for the tumor marker known as CA-125 and
a test called transvaginal ultrasound for ovarian cancer
screening. (Source: excerpt from What You Need To Know About Ovarian Cancer: NCI)
