Calif. regulators warn of pot's cancer capability SAN FRANCISCO - It might take Californians a puff or two to get their heads around an apparent contradiction recently enshrined in state law. The same marijuana smoke that doctors can recommend to ease cancer patients' suffering must soon come with a warning saying it causes the disease.   Nations:U.S.   Source:(AP)   2009-07-05 Push is on to tailor cancer care to tumor's genes WASHINGTON - The days of one-size-fits-all cancer treatment are numbered: A rush of new research is pointing the way to tailor chemotherapy and other care to what's written in your tumor's genes.   2009-02-16 Japan scientists identify enzyme that may suppress cancer HONG KONG (Reuters) - Scientists in Japan have identified an enzyme which appears to suppress breast cancer and they hope the finding will spur new therapies to control the second most common cancer in the world.   Nations:Japan   Source:(Reuters)   2009-02-09 Smoking ban leads to major drop in heart attacks ATLANTA - A smoking ban in one Colorado city led to a dramatic drop in heart attack hospitalizations within three years, a sign of just how serious a health threat secondhand smoke is, government researchers said Wednesday.

There was no such drop in two neighboring areas, and researchers believe it's a clear sign the ban was responsible.   Nations:U.S.   Source:(AP)   2008-12-31 Encouraging dip in rate of new cancers, deaths WASHINGTON - The rate of new cancer cases finally may be inching down -- cautiously optimistic news but a gain that specialists worry could be derailed by economic turmoil. Death rates from cancer have been dropping slowly for years, thanks to earlier detection and better treatments. But preventing cancer is the ultimate goal, and Tuesday's annual "Report to the Nation" on cancer also shows a small but encouraging change: The rate of new diagnoses among men dropped 1.8 percent a year between 2001 and 2005.   Nations:U.S.   Source:(AP)   2008-11-26 Headlines Calif. regulators warn of pot's cancer capability 2009-07-05 Push is on to tailor cancer care to tumor's genes 2009-02-16 Japan scientists identify enzyme that may suppress cancer 2009-02-09 Smoking ban leads to major drop in heart attacks 2008-12-31 Encouraging dip in rate of new cancers, deaths 2008-11-26 Pill as good as chemo on lung cancer, but costlier 2008-11-21 Eli Lilly agrees to buy ImClone for over $6B 2008-10-06 Smoking, coal set to claim tens of millions of lives in China 2008-10-03 Scientists warn US Congress of cancer risk for cell phone use 2008-09-25 U.S. cancer death rate drop tied to education levels 2008-07-08 Accidental fungus leads to promising cancer drug 2008-06-29 Risk-of-death charts show smokers should beware 2008-06-10 Study: Kids' cancer rates highest in Northeast 2008-06-01 Researchers find smoking-lung cancer culprit 2008-05-14 Big U.S. study links breast cancer to drinking 2008-04-14 Mouth test could predict lung cancer, study finds 2008-04-13 Genentech reports jump in 1Q earnings 2008-04-11 Pfizer warns of lung cancer with inhaled insulin 2008-04-09 Pfizer warns of lung cancer link with inhaled insulin 2008-04-09 Genetic link tied to smoking addiction 2008-04-02 Tobacco cash in lung study stirs flap 2008-03-26 Test tells source of mystery cancers: researchers 2008-03-24 Test tells source of mystery cancers-researchers 2008-03-23 Magnesium-rich foods ward off stroke in smokers 2008-03-10 Post hormone therapy, women still had higher risk of cancer 2008-03-06 Vitamin pills don't cut lung cancer risk: Study 2008-02-29 AstraZeneca's Recentin fails lung cancer trial 2008-02-27 Cancer risk up in Japanese women exposed to smoke 2008-02-25 U.S. cancer death rate down but 565,650 seen in 2008 2008-02-20 Studies detect slew of new genes for prostate risk 2008-02-11 Tobacco could kill 1 billion by 2100 2008-02-07 Fat people cheaper to treat, study says 2008-02-04 Cannabis bigger cancer risk than cigarettes: study 2008-01-29 Nexavar significantly boosts hypertension risk: study 2008-01-21 Racial disparities persist in U.S. cancer treatment 2008-01-07 More sun is healthy, despite skin cancer risk, study says 2008-01-07 Smoking not linked to more advanced breast cancer 2007-10-28 U.S. cancer death rates continue to fall 2007-10-15 Indoor air pollution widespread in Asia 2007-09-14 Drug may help lung cancer patients 2007-09-11 What illness?
