In Metastatic Lung Cancer, Local Therapy Followed By Treatment With EGFR TKI Is Well Tolerated
Feb 26, 2013
Local therapy is not commonly utilized in metastatic lung cancer. Researchers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center investigated the efficacy of local therapy with continued EGFR TKI therapy specifically in patients with acquired resistance to EGFR TKIs... Read More

Identification Of New Type Of Gene That Regulates Tumor Suppressor PTEN
Feb 26, 2013
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have identified a new so-called pseudogene that regulates the tumour-suppressing PTEN gene. They hope that this pseudogene will be able to control PTEN to reverse the tumour process, make the cancer tumour more sensitive to chemotherapy and to prevent the development of resistance...

Stem Cell Transplants, Chemotherapy Likely To Improve Following Discovery That Distinct Niches In Bone Marrow Nurture Blood Stem Cells
Feb 26, 2013
In research that could one day improve the success of stem cell transplants and chemotherapy, scientists have found that distinct niches exist in bone marrow to nurture different types of blood stem cells. Stem cells in the blood are the precursors to infection-fighting white blood cells and oxygen-carrying red blood cells... Read More
Analytical Trick Accelerates Protein Studies
Feb 26, 2013
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found a new way to accelerate a workhorse instrument that identifies proteins. The high-speed technique could help diagnose cancer sooner and point to new drugs for treating a wide range of conditions. Proteins are essential building blocks of biology, used in muscle, brain, blood and hormones... Read More
UCLA Researchers Further Improve 'Nanovelcro' Device To Isolate And Study Single Cancer Cells From Blood
Feb 26, 2013
Researchers at UCLA have further improved a method for capturing and analyzing cancer cells that break away from patients' tumors and circulate in the blood. With the improvements, even single cancer cells can be accurately detected and safely isolated from patient blood samples for continuous analysis... Read More
Discovery Of General Mechanism That Accelerates Tumor Development
Feb 26, 2013
Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled cell division and growth. In order to identify new therapeutic targets through which to tackle the disease, scientists seek to clarify the mechanisms that control the expression of genes that favor the development of tumors, in processes such as uncontrolled cell division...
