MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew said Friday he will no longer fight his esophageal cancer and is settling in for the final days of his life. Can a simple imaging test help predict the success of cancer treatment, even before the treatment is complete? To begin to answer this question, a new National Cancer Institute funded clinical trial is using a novel PET (positron emission tomography) imaging technique that could improve the early detection of tumor growth during treatment for esophageal and lung cancer. Led by Dr... Dr. Bruce Greenwald talks about causes and prevention Esophageal cancer has become the fastest-increasing cancer diagnosis in the country, up more than 400 percent in the past two decades, according to the Esophageal Cancer Awareness Network. The Baltimore-based group pushed for April to be designated Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month in Maryland as a means of bringing attention to a disease that often requires early detection for survival. Dr. Bruce Greenwald, president of the group's board of directors and a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, answers questions about the disease. Squamous cell cancers of the oral cavity and esophagus are common throughout the world, with over 650,000 cases of oral cancer each year and esophageal cancer representing the sixth most common cause of cancer death in men. Research by University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine investigators has shown that a protein that helps cells stick together is frequently absent or out of place in these cancers, but it's unclear if its loss causes the tumors... he specialist: Dr. Sharmila Anandasabapathy on esophageal cancer There are over 650,000 cases of oral cancer each year, and esophageal cancer represents the sixth most common cause of cancer death in men. Research has shown that a protein that helps cells stick together is frequently absent or out of place in these cancers, but it's unclear if its loss causes the tumors. The investigators report that mice engineered to lack this protein, called p120-catenin, in the oral-upper digestive tract develop squamous cell cancers. A gene thought to be associated with cancer development can be a tumor suppressor gene in mice, researchers have discovered. Understanding which genes are involved in spreading cancer could lead to future therapies. by Aimee Keenan-Greene Eating strawberries may cut the risk of esophageal cancer, according to a new study. More than 16,000 new cases of esophageal cancer will be
