MIT: Staggering cancer drugs can make them more effective
Researchers have come up with a method of staggering doses that has led to increased effectiveness of cancer drugs.
Genes predict cancer chemo response
For some people, the clue to their response to cancer treatment is in their genes, and researchers have found genetic profiles that could predict response in breast cancer chemotherapy.
Cancer drug developers angling for center stage at ASCO
Later this week the cancer drug research crowd will examine a tsunami of abstracts filed ahead of the ASCO meeting in early June in the hopes of finding a few gems.
Breast cancer biomarkers may guide immune-response therapies
New biomarkers for breast cancer outcomes and response to treatment have been presented at the 4th IMPAKT Breast Cancer Conference in Brussels.
The two faces of fetal cells as cancer markers
Many women who have had children carry fetal cells with Y chromosomes (male chromosomes) in their bloodstreams for many years--these cells could mark a lower chance of breast cancer, but the flip side is that they could also signpost a higher risk of colon cancer.
Epigenetics signal possible breast cancer blood test
Epigenetic changes (genetic changes that do not affect the DNA sequence) could be associated with the development of breast cancer, and may lead to a blood biomarker-based test.
Breast cancer risk test inches closer to reality
Predicting whether a patient will get breast cancer would prove quite a game changer. Now, findings from a study evaluating the association between DNA methylation in white blood cells and the risk of breast cancer might just lead to a genetic test for the disease.
Cleveland Clinic researcher seeks funds to advance breast cancer vaccine into human trials
Nearly two years after a Cleveland Clinic immunologist generated promising results in mice with a potential preventative breast cancer vaccine, local residents and businesses are trying to help him raise enough money so that he can proceed to human clinical trials.
'Chemo bomb' nanotechnology effective in halting tumors
Researchers at Case Western University have developed a novel way of getting chemotherapeutic drugs into cancer cells.
BRCA1 increases risk of prostate cancer
This form of prostate cancer seems to run in families, including families in which women have had breast cancer linked with the BRCA1 mutation.
