Team identifies drugs that halt skin cancer metastasis in lab tests
There’s a reason why melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, is so aggressive. You just need to watch the cells in action. Researchers at the University of Iowa did just that, documenting in real time and in 3-D how melanoma cells form tumors. The cells waste no time finding their cancerous cousins, slashing […]
How cancer cells develop resistance
Study identifies how cancer cells may develop resistance to FGFR inhibitors A mechanism by which cancer cells develop resistance to a class of drugs called fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors has now been uncovered by investigators. The researchers also found that use of a second inhibitor might improve the effectiveness of these drugs by […]
Early cancer detection, some new technologies on the horizon
Urine-based biomarkers for early cancer screening test A new study has introduced a new technique that validates urine-based biomarkers for early detection of cancer. The research team expects that this may be potentially useful in clinical settings to test urinary EV-based biomarkers for cancer diagnostics. read more Dr. Stegall’s comments: As I always say, the […]
Poly-MVA – An integrative approach to the treatment of cancer
What does Poly-MVA mean for the cancer patient? Poly-MVA is a liquid supplement, taken orally. The good news is, it is backed by good research data. Reputable physicians are using it with good result. It is not a drug, but a dietary supplement, so it is safe, non-toxic, no side effects. It can be taken […]
Promising new treatments in the fight against cancer
– The future of cancer treatment, part two The Promise of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are engineered molecules that can be introduced into T cells to enable them to target specific tumor antigens. CAR T cells targeting CD19 have shown promise in patients with relapsed and refractory B-cell neoplasms, including […]
Cancer treatment – looking towards the future
– The future of cancer treatment, part one. This week we take a look at some promising new cancer treatments… We have something like 14 million cells in our body, but only one in three of us, and over many years, gets cancer (defined by the uncontrolled division of cells which grow to form tumor). […]
World Pancreatic Cancer Day November 17, 2016
What is pancreatic cancer? Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease with an extremely high mortality rate, mainly because it does not present any symptoms in its early stages and is highly resistant to chemotherapy. Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body […]
