...drug, Avastin, extended the life of colon cancer patients in a recent study. According to medical experts, the successful results of Avastin validate the theory of Andrus Professor of Pediatric Surgery Judah Folkman regarding tumor growth...
...five patients who had received this vaccine, the researchers found signs of increased cell death in the presence of tumor-fighting immune cells—suggesting the antibody treatment had enhanced the effects of the vaccine...

...journal of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Salford's research team suggests that even tiny levels of radiation from standard European mobiles may cause neuron damage in the brain. Since 1992, when David Reynard filed suit in Florida against the mobile-phone industry for causing the tumor that killed his wife, American trial lawyers have been dialing for dollars, convinced that mobile phones could be the next tobacco.

Kill the formation of new vessels, they reason, and you kill the tumor. Recent studies into thalidomide treatment of some of the most intractable cancers - lung and pancreatic cancer and multiple myeloma - show promising results.
