Kidney Cancer The National Cancer Institute ( http://www. cancer. gov/ ), lists kidney cancer as one of 13 common causes of cancer and provides the following information. To obtain a free copy of this document, go to www.masterdocs.com . Understanding Cancer Cancer begins in cells, the building blocks that make up tissues . Tissues make up the organs of the body. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes this orderly process goes wrong. New cells form when the body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should. These extra cells can form a mass of tissue called a growth or tumor . Not all tumors are cancer. Tumors can be benign or malignant : Benign tumors are not cancer: • Benign tumors are rarely life-threatening. ...

INTRODUCTION Kidney cancer is the most important cancer site be- cause of high lethality rates and increasing incidence in some parts of the world mainly among all Caucasian popu- lations and in Japan. There were approximately 189 000 kidney cancers in the year 2000 worldwide, two-thirds of which occurred in developed countries 1 in connection with higher prevalence of different risk factors. The majority of cancers among adults, ...

KIDNEY CANCER AT A GLANCE What is kidney cancer? Kidney cancer is an abnormal, uncontrolled growth of cells in the kidney. According to the American Cancer Society, the most common type is renal cell cancer ( also called renal cell carcinoma), which accounts for 85 percent of all kidney tumors. Renal cell cancer may develop in one or both kidneys. In the early stages, kidney cancer usually causes no obvious signs or symptoms. As kidney cancer grows, it may invade organs near the kidney such as the liver, colon or pancreas. Kidney cancer cells may also break away from the original tumor and spread (or metastasize) to other parts of the body such as the lymph nodes, bones or lungs, with about one third of cases showing metastasis at the time of diagnosis. How many people get kidney cancer? The American Cancer Society predicts that ...

June 8, 2004 Merix Bioscience Launches Trial for New Kidney Cancer Vaccine Merix Bioscience, Inc. : gibbs-soell.com Durham, N.C. – June 8, 2004 – Durham-based Merix Bioscience, a company pioneering therapeutic cancer vaccines, announced its first corporate-sponsored clinical trial, a trial with potential significant impact on the future treatment of kidney ( renal) cancer. The trial for an RNA-loaded autologous dendritic cell vaccine is now in Phase I/II study at five clinical sites in the United States and Canada. “We have developed a cancer vaccine that harnesses the ability of an individual’s immune system to fight disease,” said Clint G. (Skip) Dederick, Jr., chairman, president and CEO of Merix. “We strongly believe that by utilizing an individual patient’s tumor antigens to create a personalized vaccine, we can induce the broadest possible immune response and maximize the anti-tumor responses.” ...

Ki dney Ca ncer Va ccine Shows Promise in Trial Sunday February 22, 2004 (1521 PST) ISLAMABAD, February 23 (Online): An experimental vaccine against ki dney ca ncer ha s shown promising results in reducing the recurrence of the disease, German researchers said. Ki dney ca ncer oc curs mostly in adults over 40 and accounts for about three percent of all cancers. About 32,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States alone. In a trial of 379 ki dney ca ncer pa tients, scientists showed that the vaccine made by German biotechnology company LipoNova improved disease-free survival of patients. "For the first time ever it has been shown that additional therapy after surgery for ki dney tu mors is effective," said Dr Christian Doehn of the University of Lubeck Medical School in Germany. Five-year survival rates were 77 percent for patients who were given six injections ...
