The International Center for Cryosurgery and Criomedicine, based in Malaga, carried out a balance of the first year applying a new technique to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (Inflammation or Increased Prostate Size) achieving success in 98% of interventions . Patients in addition to not needing surgery maintain intact their sexual functions.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) today presents the fourth edition of the European Code against Cancer in Spain with the participation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology.

Pollution is, rather than harmful to health, directly fatal. Not in vain, this air pollution is responsible every year for the death of more than 25,000 people in our country alone. In fact, the inhalation of particles in suspension with a diameter not exceeding 2.5 microns - PM2,5, which are considered the best indicator of urban pollution and whose small size poses a greater risk to the health of humans - causes diseases such as, among others, cardiovascular, respiratory and cancer. In fact, a new study led by researchers at the University of Birmingham (UK) warns that each increase of 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air at PM2.5 levels leads to a 22% increase in the risk of mortality by any Type cancer in the population over 65 years. A very important aspect to keep in mind given that, to date, 1 in 3 Spaniards are forced to breathe contaminated air.

In an old candy factory, not far from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, USA), Yi Yang sits in front of a laminar flow hood to manipulate a transparent tray. Submerged in a fuchsia fluid, millions of tumor cells are expected to be manipulated with fashion technology in laboratories around the world, CRISPR, a kind of genetic editing that has also been put to the service of Oncology.

Science took another big step in the treatment of cancer. An international panel of scientists analyzed a specific type of tumor in the thyroid gland and defined that disease should not be classified, precisely, as a cancer.

Researchers have shown that various types of intestinal bacteria could be factors that cause and prevent obesity and other disorders and diseases. Now, a study by the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) in the United States suggests that they could also potentially be used to reduce the risk of some types of cancer.

The survival of patients with cancer is conditioned by a multitude of factors. This is, of course, the case for the effectiveness of treatments, which play a crucial role in preventing or delaying mortality from the disease. However, there are other factors that also drastically influence this survival. This is the case, among others, of the support, both physical and emotional, that patients receive. In fact, a new study led by researchers at the California Cancer Institute in Fremont (USA) and published in the journal Cancer shows that, given a cancer diagnosis, married patients have a much higher probability To live longer than those who have remained single.

The scientist Javier Herrero, a member of the Institute of Neurosciences of Castilla y León (Incyl), today highlighted the importance of donating the brain to be able to move forward against neurodegenerative diseases, which by the middle of this century will cause more deaths than cancer.

With 25,000 new diagnoses every year, breast cancer is currently the one that most affects women in Spain. And in the world produces more than 450,000 deaths a year. Therefore, it is one of the most studied and known conditions. But, still, it still hides many secrets.

Cancer is a disease of the genome. Today scientists know the enemy much better than before and know that behind a seemingly identical tumor in the lung - colon, pancreas, brain - two patients hide two potentially very different problems. The many genetic pathways that lead to a cell escaping from the iron biological program that controls its growth and division to become cancerous, though not infinite, are enormous.

A group of Spanish researchers have detected antibodies against anisakis in patients with gastrointestinal cancer, which has led them to investigate to what extent anisakis should be considered as a possible risk factor in the development of this type of cancer.

Each year around 33,000 new cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed in our country, accounting for around 15% of all new oncological diagnoses. In fact, colorectal cancer is the most common tumor in Spain combining both sexes, as well as the second in mortality after lung cancer, causing each year about 15,000 deaths.

Scientific research has again shed some light on the fight against colon cancer, one of the most common tumors in Spain and the leading cause of cancer death when men and women are added. Researchers at the Hospital del Mar in Barcelona have identified a new drug (the Sym004) against a type of metastatic cancer that had no further therapeutic course when conventional drugs failed.

In Spain is the second most diagnosed cancer in women after the breast and the third in men after the prostate and lung. It is also the tumor that causes more deaths, only behind the lung. It's colon cancer. Today is the World Day of this disease. Its high lethality has to do with that for a long time can go unnoticed.

There is a key phase in the progression of cancer. It occurs when cells that have left the primary tumor are placed in organs where they may in future cause metastases. What happens in this phase depends on the cancer being left behind as an illness already overcome or that reappears later.

Inheriting a mutation in the APC gene leads to a lifetime risk of nearly 100% colorectal cancer. While colon cancer can be kept at bay by elimination of the large intestine, these patients also have a risk of up to 15% developing cancer in the small intestine, which is the leading cause of cancer death in this group of patients.

Researchers at the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO) in Girona have been able to reduce brain metastasis in patients with lung cancer by more than 70% thanks to silibinin, a natural substance extracted from the borriquero thistle, sources at the Institute have reported.

Despite the fact that science is advancing, and thanks to it, there are more and better treatments for the diseases we face in the West, especially cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases; these may be in a more or less significant percentage induced by our lifestyle.

The benefits of the antioxidant properties found in thistle (silybum marianum) are well known. This plant up to three meters high and Mediterranean climate - which is also called borriquero thistle or burrero - can be used as a laxative, antihemorrhagic, reduces excess iron, reduces cholesterol, is beneficial against diabetes, is used for vipers and insect bites and also helps with menstrual problems.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an uncommon hereditary disease characterized by the appearance of more than one hundred benign polyps in the colon and rectum after the second decade of life. The problem is that, once over thirty, the risk that any of these polyps will become malignant is very high, to the point that those affected by PAF have a risk close to 100% of developing colorectal cancer at some point of his life unless he undergoes colectomy - removal of the colon.

The gene called GT198 is usually a good gene, which repairs chromosomal damage and prevents disease. But when it mutates, that is to say it changes its conformation due to genetic or environmental factors, it has an enormous harmful potential: it could cause that begins to develop a breast cancer of precocious form.

According to the Spanish Cancer Association (AECC), 26,000 cases of breast cancer are detected every year in our country, almost 30% of all female tumors. But the AECC is also positive, as the latest data indicate that survival for this tumor increases by 1.4% annually, partly because each year multiplies information on the importance of early diagnosis.

Oral cancer, which originates in the mouth or the lips, affects 3 percent of the population in Spain but with an oral revision each year could be diagnosed early and prevent it from being more aggressive, according to Néstor Montesdeoca, head of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Madrid.

If there is a use that the most common of mortals praise technology, we praise technology, that is sanitary. Because it is very good that we can have the best mobiles or the best domestic technology, but when this knowledge is put to the service of health, they gain many integers.

Scientists have created an injectable drug that generates nanoparticles capable of facilitating the cure of tumor metastasis in the lungs and liver of mice, according to a study published today by the journal Nature. The research, developed by experts at the Houston Methodist Institute (HMRI), could radically transform the treatment of triple negative breast cancer that has spread to the lungs and liver, officials said.

A detailed large-scale study of a group of Danish researchers has found that there is no relationship between physical activity and breast density. Their authors point out that their findings imply that the protective effect of physical activity on breast cancer could be through other mechanisms other than breast density.

The results of a new study published in the journal "Science" underscore the importance of the role of tumor neoantigens in the response of cancer patients to immunotherapy, the most promising treatment for cancer. The neoantigens, called 'seeds' are biological markers that are only found in cancer cells, and according to the authors of this work there are some types of cancer that contain in themselves this seeds for their own destruction, something that would allow specific treatments according to the immune systems of patients.  

Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder characterized by continuous interruptions of breathing during sleep. A disorder that suffers about 6% of the world population and that, far from being limited to a worsening of the quality of rest of those affected, is associated with an increased risk of diseases, in the case of cardiovascular diseases -among others, hypertension arterial pressure, myocardial infarction and stroke.

An old acquaintance, the MYC oncogene, seems to be the most responsible for cancer cells hiding from the immune system and can continue to develop. This ally of cancer, according to a study published in "Science", helps tumor cells survive in hostile environments by increasing the expression of two proteins that hinder the ability of the immune system to destroy tumors.

Nobody doubts that one of the most dramatic aspects of cancer are the effects of some treatments to fight it. In fact, conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy are usually administered systemically, altering the entire organism and not just the areas affected by malignant tumors. And while the results can be, in many cases, good against the disease, it also occurs that healthy organs and structures are affected.

A group of researchers from the National University of Colombia (UN) has designed a bra that helps detect breast cancer to determine the difference in temperature in both breasts, caused mainly by the presence of abnormal cells. The system, which is currently a prototype, aims to innovate in the prevention of the disease, whose late diagnosis can complicate the treatment and reduce the chances of success, explained the UN in a statement.

Basal cell carcinoma is one of the most common types of skin cancer. S estimates that 90% of the population is at risk of developing it sometime during their life, especially due to age and exposure to UV rays from the sun. Although common, this type of cancer is rarely fatal, and so far has been little studied.

In our country, more than 25,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed every year, the most prevalent type of tumor in the male population. A tumor whose treatment requires surgery or the administration of radiotherapy, very aggressive interventions associated with numerous side effects, case of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

Eating little, without falling into malnutrition, seems to date the best recipe to live longer and keep the disease away. And if in addition to reducing the amount of calories, we avoid fats, the chances of a tumor appearing are reduced even more. For years scientists who try to solve the puzzle of cancer know that obesity and high-fat diets are not limited to clog arteries, also raise the chances of suffering from certain tumors such as digestive. But to date, it was not known why. The molecular and cellular explanation is revealed in a study published by the journal «Nature».

Practicing physical activity has an immunotherapy effect that prevents the appearance of cancers and, in the case that they have already appeared, helps to slow down their progression. It is the conclusion reached by researchers from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) who have studied the effects of physical activity in mice bred to develop melanomas, lung cancers and liver cancers.

Dr. Claire Guest reviews the photos stored on her mobile. Suddenly he finds the one of a tanned labrador and stops. "This is my dog ​​Daisy," she shows proudly during one of the breaks of the Better with Pets conference, organized this week in Brussels.

The Medical Oncology service of the Hospital Miguel Servet of Zaragoza turns 25, a time in which this department has expanded to deal with a pathology that continues to increase but before which specialists have more and more tools in the therapeutic offer. "This is thanks to the growing knowledge of the tumor", says Dr. Antonio Antón, head of this service. The key to this specialist is in improving knowledge of the molecular biology of cancer that has allowed specialists to have therapeutic alternatives that they did not have before. "In the end, we are personalizing the treatment to give the best we have to those patients who need it" he concludes.

A laser system used to treat tumors in the brain can "open a temporary window" in the protective barrier of this organ and allow it to reach chemotherapy drugs against a type of cancer, according to a study published by Plos One.

The International Center for Cryosurgery and Criomedicine (ICCC) is a pioneer in applying a new treatment with gases at low temperature to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia with good results and encouraging the patient to maintain all their sexual functions, as this does not lose erection or ejaculation.

According to experts, at some point in their lives, almost 40 percent of the population develops some type of cancer, and in more than half of the cases this disease is curable if it is diagnosed in time.

Members of the International Center Cryosurgery, with Dr. Pedro Torrecillas Malaga, urologist and member of the European Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters; took part in a prestigious international event.  

According to El Faro de Vigo, the research group of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), BioFarma, has just joined a project that explores the role of new inhibitors aimed at epigenetic targets against cancer, led by the company Oryzon Genomics, with which he has already collaborated since 2008 in other projects. "We intend to act on certain proteins that modulate the expression of certain genes related to cancer without modifying the information contained in the DNA", explains Mabel Loza, coordinator of the BioFarma group, applied to the discovery of drugs, regarding this study.

According to El Periódico de Catalunya, a genomic test performed at the time of the diagnosis of a breast cancer predicts the prognosis and the response to treatment with chemotherapy, according to a study conducted by doctors and researchers from the Hospital Clínic and the Idibaps (Instituto de Agustí Pi i Sunyer Biomedicine Research) of Barcelona.
