Men (and women) who are or have been heavy smokers usually have a heavy chance of developing some sort of often deadly lung disease. Research suggests that a cancer detection screening method may be the best way to ID another killer.

Just because something works in mice, doesn't mean it will work in humans. That being said, a new mouse study holds out hope for a new therapy for lymphoma. Researchers have identified two molecules that are better killers of lymphoma than existing therapies. These findings, if they hold true for humans, could lead to new cancer therapies. Ask your doctor about the very latest science relating to lymphoma therapies.

Bleeding during surgery is always a concern, particularly with operations involving the digestive tract. A new study shows these concerns may not be warranted in some cases.

While mammograms are the only clinically proven method of detecting breast cancer, they are far from fool-proof.  New technology currently being studied may offer better, more accurate assessments.

Two legends from the entertainment industry are fighting cancer, and one is apparently near the end of his final match. Both Andy Williams and Joe Frazier have announced their cancer fights.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to treat. That may be about to change, though. A new “three-pronged” treatment could stop pancreatic cancer in its tracks.

After hearing the diagnosis, many cancer patients want to know the outlook. Scientists have discovered something that could help answer that question for most breast cancer patients.

Prostate cancer that is confined to just the prostate is easier to treat than if it spreads to other parts of the body. New research shows combining two therapies can improve survival for advanced cancer that hasn't moved beyond the prostate.

When cancer begins to spread to other parts of the body, curing it can be quite problematic. New research has helped identify a key contributor in cancer growth.

Let's face it - being diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer is no picnic. It can be depressing. And survivors who suffer from depression often have more complicated recoveries.  Researchers now know who is most vulnerable.
