Cancer Survivors Express Concerns About Seeing Primary Care Physicians For Follow-Up Care
Sep 12, 2012
Nearly one-third of office visits for cancer are handled by primary care physicians, yet this study finds cancer survivors have concerns about seeing their primary care physician for cancer-related follow-up care... Read More
Primary Care Utilization Associated With Better Breast Cancer Outcomes
Sep 12, 2012
Medicare beneficiaries with breast cancer who had a greater number of visits to primary care physicians in the two years preceding their diagnosis have better breast cancer outcomes, including greater use of mammography, reduced odds of late-stage diagnosis, and lower overall and breast cancer mortality...

Cancer-Causing Gene Alone Doesn't Trigger Pancreatic Cancer, Mayo-Led Study Finds
Sep 12, 2012
More than a cancer-causing gene is needed to trigger pancreatic cancer, a study led by Mayo Clinic has found. A second factor creates a "perfect storm" that allows tumors to form, the researchers say. The study, published in the Sept. 10 issue of Cancer Cell, overturns the current belief that a mutation in the KRAS oncogene is enough to initiate pancreatic cancer and unrestrained cell growth...

Researchers Reveal A Chemo-Resistant Cancer Stem Cell As Cancer's 'Achilles' Heel'
Sep 12, 2012
Scientists at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have discovered a subpopulation of cells that display cancer stem cell properties and resistance to chemotherapy, and participate in tumor progression. This breakthrough could lead to the development of new tests for early cancer diagnosis, prognostic tests, and innovative therapeutic strategies, as reported in Cancer Cell... Read More

Complex Genetic Regulation Underlies GATA2-Linked Human Diseases
Sep 12, 2012
GATA2 is a master regulator of the formation and development of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), which form the various types of blood cells. Dysregulation of GATA2 has been linked to several different human disease states, including leukemia, and MonoMAC and Emberger syndromes... Read More
