Drugs in the Pipeline: New Therapies that Could Change Treatment Strategies
New drug compounds, and old ones put to new use, offer doctors and patients new hope for treating and preventing cancer.
F.D.A. Plan on Medical Articles Takes More Heat - New York Times
Few Doctors have the time to write medical articles so the timing of the uproar with Merck-SP's Vytorin news is somewhat suspicious.
The Scientist : Heading for the BIG Time [2008-04-01]
Integrating cancer data using bioinformatics... a new cool and interesting approach.
US Senate unaminously passes genetic non descrimination bill
This bill represents landmark legislation in the US, protecting patients who need genetic testing from being discriminated against by insurers or employers. A victory for common sense.
Co-Payments for Expensive Drugs Soar - New York Times
The revenge of the US health care plans - pay MUCH more if you are ill - will this lead to a two-tier healthcare system based on ability to pay?
The cost of many drugs has increased from a $25-50 co-pay per month to 20-33% of the actual cost. This mea
New markers for Prostate Cancer
Researchers identify 12 genetic markers believed to be linked to prostate cancer. There is a strong family history associated with the disease so linking biomarkers to the disease would enable better screening and early detection, saving thousands of liv
Embryos created with DNA from 3 people
Scientists are so naive sometimes... this reminds me of the some of the theoretical physicists developing the ideas behind the atom bomb - and they didn't think it might be used for more sinister purposes?
HIV - The modern scourge
New developments in understanding the biology may lead to a breakthrough in HIV treatment in the future!
Gene combo may hike prostate cancer risk
"It also might lead to a blood test to predict who is likely to develop prostate cancer. These men could be closely monitored and perhaps offered hormone-blocking drugs like finasteride to try to prevent the disease."
Ah now that's a bit more like it -
Device can spot cancer cells in blood: U.S. study - Yahoo! News
"A highly sensitive microchip may help doctors detect rare traces of cancer circulating in the bloodstream, offering a way to better manage treatment... " Wow! We all know that the earlier you detect and treat cancer, the better the long term overall su
Press Releases - American Society of Hematology
A few years ago, survival from chronic myeloid leukemia was 3-4 years; with new therapies patients are now living 6 years after failure of interferon, so that's about 10 years in total. An incredible improvement!
'Velcade, lenalidomide and dexamethasone combo show promise for multiple myeloma'
New combinations are the way forward in the treatment of cancer - targeting different aspects of the cancer cell may help reduce resistance. For example, the Rev/Vel/Dex combo in myeloma looks very promising indeed.
Cell 'Addiction' to Growth Factors May Help Spur Cancers - Yahoo! News
"It means we might be able to do something about at-risk cells before cancer develops and treat these cells biochemically, and specifically, rather than using current drugs that are nonspecific and kill everything in their path." Now that sounds almost
