The findings may enable doctors in the future to diagnose skin cancer quickly and accurately by waving a handheld scanner or sensor above the skin. Earlier work identified almost 100 different chemical compounds coming from skin.<img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/370475455" height="1" width="1" /></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/scent-skin-cancer-discovered#comments Top stories basal cell carcinoma carcinoma chemical compounds handheld scanner skin cancer http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/6996 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 21:45:06 -0500 admin 6996 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/new-therapies-show-promise-fighting-basal-cell-carcinoma-and <p>Researchers at Scottsdale Healthcare and TGen have announced the results of two clinical trials that show promise for patients battling two types of cancer: basal cell carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. <p><a href="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?a=yjKFvn"><img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?i=yjKFvn" border="0"></img></a></p> <p><a href="http://science-nature.marc8.com/new-therapies-show-promise-fighting-basal-cell-carcinoma-and">read more</a></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/new-therapies-show-promise-fighting-basal-cell-carcinoma-and#comments Top stories basal cell carcinoma carcinoma scottsdale healthcare tgen types of cancer http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/3681 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 14:00:00 -0500 admin 3681 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/skin-cancer-breakthrough-new-molecule-shows-promise-patients <p>A novel molecule, GDC-0449, shrinks tumors for patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma with limited side effects, suggesting a viable new treatment option for patients with the advanced form of this cancer. "Basal cell carcinoma affects about one million people a year, and a very small fraction of these patients have disease that is not curable with surgery. We currently do not have any treatments that can effectively slow tumor growth in these advanced patients. This finding has enormous implications in this population," said one of the physicians involved with the research.</p> <p><a href="http://science-nature.marc8.com/skin-cancer-breakthrough-new-molecule-shows-promise-patients">read more</a></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/skin-cancer-breakthrough-new-molecule-shows-promise-patients#comments Top stories basal cell carcinoma enormous implications skin cancer treatment option tumor growth http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/3439 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:00:00 -0500 admin 3439 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
