Researchers Discover New Information On Spreading Of Cancer
Published July 4, 2009, 10:22 pm, Science Daily
Researchers have discovered a mechanism lung cancer cells use when spreading into the body to form metastases. They have also found a factor controlling the spreading of several different cancer types. The common feature in both findings is that they explain the lethal ability of cancer cells to “start running” and spread from the original tumor to other parts of the body.
Study Identifies How Tamoxifen Stimulates Uterine Cell Growth And Cancer

Effectiveness of vitamin D, fish oil to be studied
Published July 2, 2009, 4:33 am, PhysOrg
Two dietary supplements -- vitamin D and fish oil -- will soon undergo a five-year test of their effectiveness in lowering the rates of several major diseases. Since nearly all African-Americans are deficient in vitamin D, the federal study will also assess whether supplements narrow the gap between disease rates in blacks and other racial groups.
