British scientists said on Wednesday they had found a batch of new gene mutations linked to kidney cancer, suggesting even this apparently "straightforward" cancer type can be divided into subtypes requiring tailored treatment. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common type of kidney cancer, stands out from other cancers because it is remarkably consistent and the majority of cases are known...

Mesothelioma is more or less a man-made cancer. The cancer is caused by asbestos which is a naturally found silicate mineral. It is mined out of the earth and put to use in many applications, including cement manufacture, ship building, construction activities etc. The requirement for the material rocketed in the last century due to its many qualities which include insulation capacity, resistance to heat etc. But the minute fibers of the mineral could cause the deadly mesothelioma – a fact...

Mesothelioma is a man made cancer, caused by asbestos which is a naturally found silicate mineral. Asbestos is put to use widely in industries for cement manufacture, construction activities, ship building etc. It is found in mines and its requirement has increased greatly due to its qualities like resistance to heat, insulation capacity etc. But it has not been revealed for many years that the minute particles can cause the deadly form of cancer. Now it is proved beyond doubt, but many have... Read Full Story
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new study confirms that smoking raises a person's risks of the major forms of esophageal and stomach cancers, while drinking has more narrow effects.
