Hundreds of Potential Drug Targets to Starve Cancer Tumors Identified
Science Daily reports: " A massive study analyzing gene expression data from 22 tumor types has identified multiple metabolic expression changes associated with cancer. The analysis, conducted by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center, also identified hundreds of potential drug targets that could cut off a tumor's fuel supply or interfere with its ability to synthesize essential building blocks. The study was published today in the online edition of Nature Biotechnology." http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/...3A+Latest+Science+News%29 |

Teenage scientist's new cancer detection
----------------------------------------Pancreatic cancer's high death rate is partly blamed on the difficulty of early detection. Teenage scientist Jack Andraka has come up with a cheap and simple way to test for it. http://tinyurl.com/qz83rak  [Edit 2 times, last edit by Jim Slade at Jul 10, 2013 12:15:47 AM] |

"Date:6/14/2013 Using math to kill cancer cells Ottawa June 14, 2013. Here's a good reason to pay attention in math class. Nature Communications has published a paper from Ottawa researchers today, outlining how advanced mathematical modelling can be used in the fight against cancer. The technique predicts how different treatments and genetic modifications might allow cancer-killing, oncolytic viruses to overcome the natural defences that cancer cells use to stave off viral infection..." |

"Date:6/13/2013 Gene variants may predict who will benefit from breast cancer prevention drugs In women at high risk for breast cancer, a long-term drug treatment can cut the risk of developing the disease in half. Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health have now identified two gene variants that may predict which women are most likely to benefit from this therapyand which should avoid it. The work represents a major step toward truly individualized breast cancer prevention in women at high risk for the disease based on their age, family history of breast cancer, and personal medical history..." |

Date:6/15/2013 "Osteoporosis drug stops growth of breast cancer cells, even in resistant tumors DURHAM, N.C. -- A drug approved in Europe to treat osteoporosis has now been shown to stop the growth of breast cancer cells, even in cancers that have become resistant to current targeted therapies, according to a Duke Cancer Institute study. The findings, presented June 15, 2013, at the annual Endocrine Society meeting in San Francisco, indicate that the drug bazedoxifene packs a powerful one-two punch that not only prevents estrogen from fueling breast cancer cell growth, but also flags the estrogen receptor for destruction..." |
