African governments are ill-prepared to address the continent's growing cancer burden, warn Hany Besadaand and Vadim Ermakov. 
Discovery of natural compounds that could slow blood vessel growth

Using a whole-genome approach, researchers have found more than one hundred human protein compounds that can slow blood vessel growth. This could lead to treatments against diseases that depend on the growth of new blood vessels, including cancer, macular degeneration and rheumatoid arthritis.

Protein Kinase CK2: new perspectives of an old kinase
Design of specific small molecules that are able to block (inhibit) function of macromolecular targets responsible for the development of certain disorder is the “classic” and most widely used approach in modern drug therapeutics, e.g., in cancer treatment
Hormones not for all prostate cancer patients

A new study raises additional questions about the benefits of drugs given to more than half of prostate cancer patients.
Hormone therapy, which blocks the production of the testosterone that feeds prostate tumors, is a mainstay of treatment for men with advanced disease. Studies show it also improves survival in patients with aggressive tumors that are still limited to the prostate.

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.
Cheap cervical cancer test is boost for poor countries

This writeup references a study in Lancet. Cervical cancer is the second deadliest cancer in women: it strikes 500,000 every year, and more than half die. But 85% of those deaths are in poor countries. A team of researchers has just tested a new, less expensive pap test that may go for as little as $5 USD, testing it alongside the more expensive HPV test. It was over 90% accurate.
Study suggests some breast cancer patients facing radiation after a mastectomy may be over-treated

A new study suggests standard radiation therapy for some breast cancer patients may not be medically required and may, therefore, be causing unnecessary serious side effects such as lymphedema and pulmonary problems. The research conducted at Fox Chase Cancer Center involved women who got a mastectomy, but whose lymph nodes were negative. "When a woman has a tumor greater than five centimeters and negative lymph nodes, a mastectomy followed by radiation is recommended," said Penny Anderson, M.D., attending physician in the radiation oncology department at Fox Chase
Novel anti-cancer mechanism found in long-lived rodents
sea-maid submitted, created time 2 weeks 2 days (esciencenews.com)
Biologists at the University of Rochester have found that small-bodied rodents with long lifespans have evolved a previously unknown anti-cancer mechanism that appears to be different from any anticancer mechanisms employed by humans or other large mammals. The findings are published in today's issue of Aging Cell. Understanding this mechanism may help prevent cancer in humans because many human cancers originate from stem cells and similar mechanisms may regulate stem cell division.
Blocking enzyme could help in rare blood cancer
jerry submitted, created time 2 weeks 3 days (www.reuters.com)
An enzyme that fights some kinds of cancers may foster the growth of a rare type of leukemia that affects babies, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday in a finding that may lead to new drugs for the hard-to-treat disease. There is also talk of applications in Alzheimer's and diabetes.
The enzyme is called glycogen synthase kinase, or GSK3, and blocking it might be an effective way to treat this type of leukemia--for which chemotherapy is characteristically ineffective. Existing drugs used for bipolar disease seem to do a shaky but effective job.
Breast cancer vaccine fights tumors in lab tests

Researchers who designed one experimental breast cancer vaccine say they have fine-tuned the process and come up with another that they hope will be more effective.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of combinations of lifestyle factors on mortality in middle aged women.
Design Prospective: cohort study.
Setting: Nurses’ health study, United States.

Breast cancer vaccine helps body fight tumors

A new experimental breast cancer vaccine could prove highly effective in treating twenty to thirty percent of breast cancers, according to researchers.
Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy to Starve Brain Tumors
sea-maid submitted, created time 3 weeks 3 hours (www.sciencedaily.com)
Brain tumor researchers have found that brain tumors arise from cancer stem cells living within tiny protective areas formed by blood vessels in the brain. Killing those cells is a promising strategy to eliminate tumors and prevents them from re-growing. The researchers have found that drugs that block new blood vessel formation can destroy the protected areas and stop cancer from developing.
Pain relievers may complicate prostate screening

Taking a popular class of pain relievers that includes aspirin and ibuprofen lowers the levels of a protein in a man's blood that doctors use to screen for prostate cancer, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
Major Breakthrough in Cancer Research

By Alice Carver Scientists with the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center at the Johns Hopkins University have managed to draw a map of the genetic mutations involved in two of the most aggressive cancers: glioblastoma, the most common form of brain.
