Nanoparticle Drug Delivery Aims to Control Pancreatic Tumor and Inhibit Escape Pathways
Use of a nanoparticle to deliver drugs may reduce tumors and suppress metastatic escape. These efforts offer a way to control drug release over space and time while reducing systemic drug exposure and the associated side effects.
New G-CSF approved in Europe, in clinical trials in the U.S.
I am hearing there is a new granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) coming out on the market. What can you tell us about this product?
Bacterial biosurgery promising for reducing size of inoperable tumors
Deep within most tumors lie areas that remain untouched by chemotherapy and radiation. These areas lack the blood and oxygen needed for traditional therapies to work, but provide the perfect target for a new cancer treatment.
Powerful new way to treat HER2-positive breast cancer validated
HER2-positive breast cancer typically develops resistance to Herceptin within several years. researchers have found a means of inhibiting another protein whose expression is also upregulated in HER2-positive breast cancer.
No Cancer Prevention Benefit From Organic Food
A prospective survey found no reduction in cancer incidence in women eating organic food, but there’s more to the story.
Early promise with new drug for cancers caused by viruses
Specialized fat molecules, called sphingolipids, play a key role in the survival of aggressive lymphomas caused by viruses, according to new research.
Biological Therapies for Cancer (Fact Sheet)
This fact sheet provides an overview of how the immune system functions and examines biological therapies, including monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, therapeutic vaccines, cancer-killing viruses, gene therapy, and adoptive T-cell transfer as well as side effects.
Non-small cell lung cancer: Molecular targets and emerging options for care
This activity from myCME offers a review of groundbreaking molecular research and novel treatment options for patients with NSCLC.
Radiation effects could be gauged by small molecules in the blood
Molecules in the bloodstream that might accurately gauge the likelihood of radiation illness after exposure to ionizing radiation have been identified. This animal study shows that X-rays or gamma rays alter the levels of certain molecules called microRNA (miRNA) in the blood in a predictable way.
