Vitamin C supplements may significantly reduce the effectiveness of several anti-cancer drugs by protecting the mitochondria, according to a new study published Wednesday.

A team of New York researchers gave large doses of vitamin C, equivalent of a 2,000-milligram, to mice with tumors prior to chemotherapy. The researchers found that the vitamin C reduced the effectiveness of the chemotherapy by about 30 percent to 70 percent

Results of a new study suggests that computer-aided mammograms would be as effective in detection of breast cancer as a radiologist.

Computer-aided detection, or CAD, has been in circulation for well over a decade now but its accuracy has been questioned by cancer experts the world over

Researchers have discovered an important risk factor for pancreatic cancer that could someday possibly help prevent the disease.

The first-of-its-kind finding was made by researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center

Women who take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) do not face an increased risk of heart attack, a new study confirms.

Though the breast cancer experts recommend avoiding or limiting hormone replacement therapy, but a new study by Danish researchers suggests that if a woman uses a cream or skin patch or takes alternate hormone combinations, the risk of heart attack is less

Researchers have found a genetic link between obesity and colon cancer that may help pave the way for more effective screening tests for the disease. It may also lead to greater accuracy in predicting the people who are at the greatest risk of the disease, experts say.

People who inherit a variation of a gene called ADIPOQ, which results in the formation of a fat hormone called adiponectin, are 30 percent less likely to develop colon cancer, say researchers from University of Alabama Comprehensive Cancer Center
