More than 90 percent of humans have antibodies to the Epstein Barr virus. Best known for causing mononucleosis, or "the kissing disease," the virus has also been implicated in more serious conditions, including Hodgkin's, non-Hodgkin's and Burkitt's lymphomas. Yet little is known about exactly how EBV triggers these diseases. Now a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and Penn's Perelman School of Medicine has the first evidence that an...

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, November 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A new diagnostic kit which takes the uncertainty out of lymphoma diagnosis, has been launched at the Veterinary Cancer Society's annual conference this month. Developed by PetScreen (http://www.pet-screen.com) in the UK, the announcement is a significant breakthrough in the diagnosis of canine lymphoma with the major benefit being that it is able to differentiate between patients with lymphadenopathy due to...
Researchers at North Carolina State University are narrowing the search for genes involved in non-Hodgkin lymphoma "“ by turning dogs into humans.Humans and dogs don't just share companionship and living space, they also share a similar genetic makeup. Additionally, they share the same types of cancer, including lymphoma. Dr. Matthew Breen, professor of genomics at NC State, uses canines as a genetic model for studying lymphoma because purebred dogs of the same breed have less genetic...
Researchers have identified a new target for the treatment of lymphoma and are testing a potential new drug in pet dogs afflicted with the disease. At low doses, the compound, called S-PAC-1, arrested the growth of tumors in three of six dogs tested and induced partial remission in a fourth.The results of the study, conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois, appear this month in the journal Cancer Research.The new compound targets a cellular enzyme, procaspase-3, that when...
Considerably higher risk of follicular lymphoma-related death in poorer neighborhoods may be linked to care required to address waxing and waning progression of diseaseFREMONT, Calif., July 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Northern California Cancer Center (NCCC) recently found that lower socioeconomic status is "significantly associated with substantially poorer survival" of follicular lymphoma in California. Although survival rates for lymphomas have improved in recent years, not all...
New research suggests that a drop of blood or speck of tissue no bigger than a period could soon be all that is required to diagnose cancers and assess their response to treatment, the Times Online reported.Surgical biopsies, which involve removing lumps of tissue, often under general anesthetic, may no longer be required due to the advancement of new technology that allows cancer proteins to be analyzed in tiny samples.A new machine was created by researchers at Stanford University that...
