Breast cancer and its therapy
A new treatment developed large breast tumors and the University of Oklahoma researchers tested not only killed, but about 90 percent less need for mastectomy. History of Surgical Oncology most recent results appear in a forthcoming issue. Building on this success, plans OU Health Sciences Center researchers, the next phase of clinical trials to begin this year on medical research have larger tumors.
"The therapy for women with later stage breast cancer is a major advancement rights. Now, most patients with large tumors with chemotherapy to treat this with your chest. Lose, we kill the cancer and save the breast tissue were able," said William Dooley, MD, a researcher at the OU Cancer Institute and where the medical director of surgical oncology.
Where Dr. Dooley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, Florida Comprehensive Breast Center and St. Joseph Hospital in California is leading a group of researchers.
They are working on a treatment called targeted microwave thermotherapy. Technology by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration "Star Wars" defense system approved after the microwave technology uses a modified version.
The most recent study researchers tumors an inch and a half inches in size were tested for the drug. These large tumors usually require mastectomies. As researchers within two hours of patients receiving chemotherapy drug that is used for heating, the tumor was more sensitive to chemotherapy and rapidly shrinking. 75 percent of patients having mastectomy rate was 7 percent.
He said, "very successful test. We were able to completely reverse this opportunity" Dooley said. "We turned the machine to start clinical trials this year to determine what therapy the tumor larger than a half inch smaller than 5 centimeters in size and works."
In theory, Dooley said the technology could be used on a body can be, "still relatively organized." Now the heat-sensitive nanotechnology scientists who will more accurately target the cancer cells are integrated. Immune system a boost - even faster dissolution of the tumor study plans to return. Dooley said it is accelerating in the bloodstream of a cancer protein immune response that the chance of recurrence of cancer that can reduce the release looks like.

1.Bone Marrow Transplant Program
Most people need a bone marrow transplant for leukemia or lymphoma cancer, as it is. There are different types of bone marrow transplantation, and is the type and severity of their disease to determine the type of bone marrow transplant.

7.Pediatric Cancer
Children's Hospital Cancer Care program ensures that each child the best possible for a normal, healthy children and a chance to create life is organized around. For our cancer patients, among their goals the reduction of pain and suffering, lost their lives as normally as possible, with a focus.
8.Surgery
Surgery as a treatment for cancer in almost any type of cancer is used. As the diagnosis can be used in a variety of circumstances, tumor removal, painting, rebuilding ports and catheters, control and prevention.
9.Radiation Oncology
Radiotherapy is a form of cancer therapy (strong beam of energy) radiation to kill cancer cells grow and divide to keep or use. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, including radiotherapy, surgery or cancer treatment with chemotherapy may be used.
