(Eusa) New data show that CAPHOSOL(R) significantly limits the occurrence and severity of oral mucositis in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

The data also demonstrate that CAPHOSOL use is associated with high levels of medication compliance and patient and physician satisfaction.

The latest findings expand upon the growing body of evidence of the benefits of CAPHOSOL in the management of OM and related symptoms in patients with various types of cancer.

A study just released by the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry indicates that pomegranate extract may potentially protect against UVA and UVB skin damage.

A major source of vitamins and antioxidants, pomegranates are currently being tested for their efficiency in combating various types of cancer, and this newest information is certainly encouraging in that regard.

(American Cancer Society) The American Cancer Society, the nation's largest voluntary health organization, has received a gift of $8.5 million from a single anonymous donor.

The contribution, one of the largest individual scientific research gifts in the Society's 95-year history, will be earmarked for targeted investigation into a genetic disorder that leads to a high lifetime risk of several types of cancer, most often thyroid cancer.

Imagine a drug that could whittle your waistline, control blood pressure, keep you regular, protect your heart, strengthen your bones, cut the risk of stroke and possibly help you sidestep some types of cancer.

And what if this drug were also easy to obtain and inexpensive, and it even tasted good?

(Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona)) A study performed by researchers at IRB Barcelona on the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, unveils how distinct signaling pathways operate between neighboring cells in order to activate the cell proliferation machinery that results in the organized growth of the fly wing.

The signaling pathways involved in this process are also conserved in humans, and when altered give rise to the appearance of different types of cancer, including cancer of the colon and skin, and leukemia.

Cancer researchers at the University of Minnesota and North Carolina State University have found that humans and dogs share more than friendship and companionship -- they also share the same genetic basis for certain types of cancer.
