Cancer Cell International | Full text | Inhibition of androgen-independent prostate cancer cell growth is enhanced by combination therapy targeting Hedgehog and ErbB signalling
The Hedgehog signalling pathway has recently been implicated in prostate cancer development and metastasis. Now who has kinase inhibitors in this area??
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.
Baxter Healthcare - United States
Gammagard is being studied in Alzheimer’s disease, binds directly to multiple
aggregated, or clustered, forms of the beta-amyloid peptide molecule. The beta-amyloid
molecule may contribute to beta-amyloid plaques, which are thought to be the primary
How Do Tumors Spread? Scientists and Engineers Team Up to Solve Mystery: Scientific American
9/10 cancer deaths occur because the cancer has spread. Understanding the biology of metastasis (spread) will help scientists find new ways of preventing this from happening.
Gene Linked to Form of Parkinson's Disease
"Mutations in a gene called GIGYF2 may be directly linked to the development of Parkinson's disease in families with a history of the neurodegenerative condition..." if true, then this may be a useful target for future drug development in this devastating
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
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
'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
innovation.org - The Biomarkers Consortium
Imagine a world where markers can be used positively to test for early disease and treat it sooner with a higher sucess rate... it's gradually happening even now
