Cancer Research UK scientists have identified a long sought after enzyme that plays a critical role in a DNA repair pathway linked with inheritable breast and ovarian cancer, reveals research published in Nature* today (Wednesday).

Cancer Research UK today launched a revolutionary new way for people to donate to the charity. Called MyProjects, the new online service allows people to choose a specific cancer research project that matches their particular reasons for giving. The site also keeps them informed about the impact their support is making.

Tiny membrane-covered sacs which are released from brain tumour cells may provide information which could be used to guide treatment, US scientists have said.

US scientists have discovered that a protein called PEA-15 halts the growth of ovarian cancer by forcing cancerous cells to digest themselves until they die - a process called autophagy or self-cannibalisation.

Cancer Research UK has sent an urgent plea to the Government today – calling for politicians to protect children and young people from tobacco advertising – to stop tobacco taking even more lives, today.

US scientists have found that raising taxes on beers, wines and spirits can have an immediate lowering effect on the number of deaths from alcohol-related health problems such as liver disease, alcohol poisoning, mouth and breast cancers.

US scientists have found 13 genes that can lead to liver cancer if they are faulty or missing.

Young people under the age of 18 should be banned from using sunbeds to help reduce the number of people with skin cancer, a new report has claimed.

New US research has added more weight to the theory that drugs designed to block the growth of blood vessels required for tumour growth could actually stabilise existing tumour blood vessels and improve the delivery of anti-cancer drugs.

US scientists have developed a technique which allows them to observe the spread of cancer cells from a breast tumour in mice and could provide vital information on the process of metastasis (cancer spread).

Breast cancer awareness needs to be raised in Scotland as a matter of priority, Breakthrough Breast Cancer's new director of Scottish operations has said.

Two scientists from Cancer Research UK's London Research Institute are to get additional support as part of the 2008 European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) 'Young Investigator Programme'.
