Postmenopausal women, who have relatively high levels of estrogen in their body might get help from eating a diet rich in soy. Postmenopausal women who have relatively low levels of estrogen may not derive the same benefit from eating soy compared to wome
A high intake of plant lignans could reduce the risk of breast cancer for pre-menopausal women by 78 per cent, says new research from Germany that adds significantly to the current body of science. Plant lignans, from sources such as flax seed, whole grai
Due to their anticoagulant effect, antithrombotic agents may interfere with thrombin generation and with fibrin formation induced by cancer cells, thus inhibiting the mechanism of metastasis.
Reliable information on complementary cancer therapies. Founded by Carol Ann Schwartz's family. Lectures, resources, links, information, associations. Housed at the Rosenthal Center for CAM.
Once, women complaining of a constellation of symptoms after undergoing chemotherapy — including short-term memory loss, an inability to concentrate, difficulty retrieving words, trouble with multitasking and an overarching sense that they had lost thei
While acknowledging that disadvantaged populations tend not to reap the benefits of regular mammograms and self-exams as much as others, Winer and Eng-Wong said most American women have been duly educated about their value.

Dietary gamma-tocopherol was associated with a 32% reduction in the risk of advanced prostate cancer, according to a National Cancer Institute researcher (Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention journal).
Diverse nonhematopoietic biological effects of the cytokine erythropoietin shows that it promotes angiogenesis. Recombinant human erythropoietin therapy in prostate cancer will be studied...
Despite 15 years as a cancer doctor and researcher, I struggle several times each week to endure the hardest part of my job – walking into a patient's room to helplessly watch as cancer steals away their life and torments them and their loved ones...we
Prostate tumors grew about 30% to 40% slower in the men taking flaxseed whether or not they followed a low-fat diet, Duke researchers told colleagues (June 1-5, Amer Soc Clinical Oncology).
Flaxseed, an edible seed that is rich in omega 3-fatty acids and fiber-related compounds known as lignans, is effective in halting prostate tumor growth, according to a study led by Duke University researchers.
High blood levels of alpha-tocopherol or gamma-tocopherol, (vitamin E forms), cut risk of prostate cancer 50% in new analysis of ATBC trial, supporting original conclusions. Dietary, but not supplementary, vitamin E, is key.
Mayo Clinic researchers presented study findings at 06/2007 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting. Subjects receiving ginseng reported higher vitality, less fatigue, increased emotional/spiritual wellbeing.
With patients often facing grim prognoses, and insurers relatively powerless to negotiate prices or deny coverage, the cost of treatments have little impact on demand.
A hypercoagulable or prothrombotic state of malignancy occurs due to the ability of tumor cells to activate the coagulation system. It has been estimated that hypercoagulation accounts for a significant percentage of mortality and morbidity in cancer pati
Here we will examine the major cytokines currently in use or under evaluation for cancer therapy: interferon alfa, IL-2, GM-CSF, and interleukin-12 (IL-12).
Chronic inflammation appears to contribute to tumor progression by establishing a milieu conducive to development of different cancers at all three stages of tumor development: initiation, progression and metastasis, inducing the release of a variety of c
Green tea consumption is associated with reduced mortality due to all causes and due to cardiovascular disease but not with reduced mortality due to cancer.
