New DNA Vaccine Inhibits Deadly Skin Cancer In Mice

A new DNA vaccine inhibited malignant melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer, in mice by eliciting antibodies that target a gastrin-releasing peptide which is known to play a key role in cancer development. 
Beach vacations may increase future skin cancer risk in children

Vacationing at the shore led to a five percent increase in nevi (more commonly called "moles") among seven-year-old children, according to a paper published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
Number of nevi is the major risk factor for malignant melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer. Melanoma rates have been rising dramatically over recent decades. More than 62,000 Americans are diagnosed with melanoma each year and more than 8,000 die
Skin Color Studies on Tadpoles Lead to Cancer Advance

The humble tadpole could provide the key to developing effective anti-skin cancer drugs, thanks to a groundbreaking discovery by researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA).

A study find that a variation of the gene for the vitamin D receptor appears to increase the risk of melanoma, a serious and sometimes fatal skin cancer. Patients with the BsmI variant had a 30% higher risk of melanoma, accounting for perhaps 10% of all cases.
Angiotensin II blockade may reduce risk of skin carcinoma

Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) appears to lower the incidence of basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma among people at high risk, according to a study among U.S. veterans.
Evidence from in vivo and in vitro studies suggests that angiotensin II is a potent angiogenic and growth factor, Dr. Jennifer B. Christian and co-investigators note in the September 3 Journal of the National Cancer Institute, issued online on August 26

Four commonly used moisturizers promoted skin cancers in mouse studies.
Mice are not men. But the unexpected finding suggests that these — and perhaps other products — may not be as safe as they're thought to be.
The moisturizers tested in the study were Dermabase, Dermovan (a wholesale-only product discontinued in 2006), Eucerin Original Moisturizing Cream, and Vanicream.
In a mouse model of sun-related skin cancer, frequent application of each product resulted in more skin tumors and faster tumor growth, says study leader Allan H
A little sun might fight cancer
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 year 8 months (www.newscientist.com)
Sunshine is regularly blamed for causing fatal skin cancers, but it may help save your life if you develop a different cancer. It seems that sunlight has an overall protective effect as it stimulates the body's production of vitamin D, which helps to combat internal cancers, including those of the colon and prostate.
"A little sun exposure is a little better for you than avoiding sunlight," says Richard Setlow of Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, who co-led the new work
Melanoma Cured 100% through Blood Cell Therapy

The results of a new study conducted by a researcher team at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, give hope for those suffering from melanoma, one of the rarer types of skin cancer but the one which causes the majority of skin cancer related deaths.
Researchers who took part in the study used a patient's cloned T cells (helper cells) to put an advanced cancer into complete remission. Nine patients took part in the experimental melanoma treatment program.
The researchers were very surprised after they treated a 52-year-old man from Oregon of his Stage 4 melanoma
Ozone layer would be damaged by limited nuclear war

This study points out that even a small-scale nuclear war between, say, India and Pakistan would destroy much of the ozone layer, leaving the DNA of humans and other organisms at risk of damage from the sun's rays and increasing the risk of skin cancer worldwide.
Cancers inhibited by embryonic stem cell protein

Human embryonic stem cells produce a protein thatshows some anti-cancer properties in the lab, according to a new study. The potential for stem-cell therapies to cause cancer is a major concern, but now researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago, US, say a protein produced by human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can inhibit the growth and spread of breast cancer and malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Skin cream tackles skin cancers in mice
jane2007 submitted, created time 2 years 3 months (www.nature.com)
A skin cream that can hyperactivate the body's natural DNA repair mechanisms has been shown to protect mice from skin cancer, and to reduce the growth of cancers already present. If the compound does the same for humans, it could one day be added to sunscreen as a cancer-fighting ingredient.
It's very interesting, isn't it?
Study: Antioxidants May Provide DNA Radiation Protection Too

Two common dietary molecules found in legumes and bran could protect DNA from the harmful effects of radiation, researchers from the University of Maryland report.
Inositol and inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) protected both human skin cells and a skin cancer-prone mouse from exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, the damaging radiation found in sunlight, the team reported today at the American Association for Cancer Research Centennial Conference on Translational Cancer Medicine.
