(Wayne State University - Office of the Vice President for Research) Prostate cancer is the most frequent and second deadliest cancer men face.

A team of Wayne State University researchers recently received $363,660 from the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health for the project -- "Bone-induced c-kit in prostate cancer cells: implications for bone metastasis" -- that aims to shed new light on implications for bone metastasis in prostate cancer.

(Albert Einstein College of Medicine) The National Cancer Institute has awarded Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University two grants totaling $8 million to study the micro-environments that drive the spread of cancer from the primary tumor to other parts of the body in the process known as metastasis.

(University of Colorado Denver) When caught in its early stages, prostate cancer is treatable in most cases. But once it reaches a critical threshold, the disease becomes largely resistant to current treatments.

The National Cancer Institute recently awarded a team of cancer biologists $9.55 million over five years to define the molecular changes that occur as prostate cancer progresses to the therapy-resistant state.

(UT Southwestern Medical Center) The National Cancer Institute has selected UT Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Health & Hospital System as a national site to improve screening for colorectal cancer, the nation's No. 3 cancer killer.

(Journal of the National Cancer Institute) Fewer than three doses of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Cervarix may be just as effective as the standard three-dose regimen when it comes to preventive measures against cervical cancer, according to a new study published Sept. 9 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

(University of Hawaii Cancer Center) Scientists from the University of Hawaii Cancer Center and the Queen's Medical Center have received a $2.3 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to develop novel methods to better detect liver cancer through the joint analysis of gene expression and imaging data of the liver.

Researchers will utilize positron emission tomography, or PET, to measure the levels of specific molecules in the body that have the potential to detect the presence of liver cancer.

(Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) The National Cancer Institute has awarded $8.2 million over the next five years to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to extend its role as the coordinating hub of a nationwide research consortium that aims to better understand the link between obesity and cancer.

The $45 million, five-year initiative also will study the underlying behavioral causes of obesity and ways to prevent it, particularly among children, cancer survivors and others at high risk.
