The US National Cancer Institute has give the "Outstanding Investigator Award" to Professor Arul Chinnaiyan, from the University of Michigan, and $6.5 million in funding over seven years, to identify cancer biomarkers to improve diagnosis and develop new targeted therapies.

A simple blood test may be used to diagnose five types of cancers - colon, lung, breast, stomach and womb - at early stages, scientists say. Researchers from National Institute of Health (NIH) in US have identified a striking signature in tumour DNA that occurs in these types of cancers.

Taking magnesium supplements could help prevent pancreatic cancer, suggests a new study which found that every 100-milligrammes-per-day decrease in magnesium intake was linked to a 24 per cent increase in the occurrence of the deadly disease.

Pairing an experimental drug with an existing one could provide a more effective way to treat a form of pancreatic cancer than a single drug, new research has found.

Making strides in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer in the world, a team of researchers from India and the US has identified a genetic target for potential drug therapy against the dreaded disease.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday had a meeting with eminent Nobel Laureate and famous cancer specialist Professor Harold Varmus and invited him to visit India to assist in health and public care research.
