Antibody may cure variety of human cancers
Human tumors transplanted into laboratory mice disappeared or shrank when scientists treated the animals with a single antibody. This antibody works by masking a protein flag on cancer cells that protects them from macrophages and other cells in the immune system.

Cigarette smoking implicated in half of bladder cancers in women
Current cigarette smokers have a higher risk of bladder cancer than previously reported, and the risk in women is now comparable to that in men, according to a study by scientists from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health.

Selenium may prevent bladder cancer
Bladder cancer, a high risk cancer in human beings, can be prevented by the use of a trace mineral found in grains, nuts and meats. This mineral is selenium.

Broccoli may ward off bladder cancer
An international team of researchers led by AgResearch senior scientist Dr Rex Munday has discovered that an extract of broccoli sprouts can decrease the incidence of bladder cancer in an animal model by more than 50 per cent.
