Vulnerable to Anti-Angiogenic Drugs
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[16/02/2012] Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a subtype of ovarian cancer able to build its own blood vessels, suggesting that such tumours might be especially susceptible to "anti-angiogenic" drugs that block blood vessel formation.

[23/11/2010] Researchers at King's College London's Department of Twin Research have discovered, as part of a large international consortium, 30 new genes that control the age of sexual maturation in women. Genes Linking Puberty Timing to Body Fat in Women - Read more
Medicine in the womb

[01/09/2010] Doctors medicate and operate unbred children more and more frequently. Very often they save lives, which have been without any chance yet. But some operations put mother or child at risk. What do expectant mothers and medical practitioners think about advantages and risks of prenatal diagnostics?Medicine in the womb - Read more
New Test Predicts the Age

[30/06/2010] Researchers have developed a way of accurately predicting when women will hit the menopause using a simple blood test. The average difference between the predicted age and the actual age that the women in their study reached the menopause was only a third of a year, and the maximum margin of error was between three and four years.

Symptoms of Little Value for Early Detection

[29/01/2010] Use of symptoms to trigger a medical evaluation for ovarian cancer does not appear to detect early-stage ovarian cancer earlier and would likely result in diagnosis in only one out of 100 women, according to a new article. Symptoms of Little Value for Early Detection - Read more
Molecular Imaging Holds Promise for Early Intervention

[07/10/2009] A new molecular imaging technique may provide physicians and patients with a noninvasive way to learn more information about a type of cancer of the uterus lining called endometrial carcinoma. Molecular Imaging Holds Promise for Early Intervention - Read more
A Quick Way of Diagnosing Endometriosis

[24/08/2009] A quick and accurate test for endometriosis that does not require surgery has been developed by researchers from Australia, Jordan and Belgium, according to new research. A Quick Way of Diagnosing Endometriosis - Read more
Screening Not Catching Early Cancer
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[02/04/2009] Screening regimens that combine ultrasound and a blood test for ovarian cancer fail to detect the disease early enough to make important progress, a new study reports. The combo screening also led to unnecessary surgery. Screening Not Catching Early Cancer - Read more
In the End a Matter of Feeling
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[01/09/2008] Each country has its special customs - this sometimes also applies to medicine. International data concerned with high genetic breast cancer risk show that more Dutch women opt for a preventive removal of both breasts than German women. The reason: It is still not clear how to best prevent breast cancer in high risk groups. In the End a Matter of Feeling - Read more
Marijuana May Get in the Way of the Baby
( Source: MEDICA.de )
[01/10/2006] Marijuana use at the time of conception and early in pregnancy prevents embryos' safe passage from the ovary to the uterus, resulting in early pregnancy failure, suggests a new study in mice. Marijuana May Get in the Way of the Baby - Read more
