Unraveling Brain Tumors - Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy To Starve Brain Tumors
July 24, 2008 (Science Daily) 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.

Hormone Therapy Not Shown to Benefit Older Patients with Early Prostate Cancer
July 16, 2008 (American Cancer Society) A study of nearly 20,000 men aged 66 and older with early-stage prostate cancer found that those who were prescribed androgen deprivation hormone therapy instead of other treatments were no better off than their counterparts who adopted a "wait and see" approach.
