VEGF may not be relevant biomarker for advanced prostate cancer

The well-studied protein VEGF does not appear to have any prognostic or predictive value for men with locally advanced prostate cancer, researchers found.

Link between inherited endocrine tumor syndrome and much-studied cell pathway

The protein menin suppresses signaling in the much-studied Hedgehog pathway in endocrine organs. Menin mutations lead to increased Hedgehog signaling and cell proliferation. Researchers found that inhibiting proteins in the Hedgehog network using drugs reduces growth of tumors in mice.

Promising Phase I Clinical Trial Of Rogosertib Leads To Multi-Institutional Phase II Trial

Results of a phase 1 clinical trial reported at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual conference show that orally administered Rigosertib is well tolerated in patients with advanced solid tumors. This is the first trial in which orally administered Rigosertib, a dual kinase inhibitor, was studied in solid tumors…

Assessing insulin resistance can inform about breast cancer risk

The link between obesity and cancer seems now well established although the molecular mechanisms underlying this connection are still largely unexplored. Scientists have ow studied the correlation between breast cancer and insulin resistance — an obesity-related condition in which certain cells fail to respond to the glucose-lowering action of the insulin hormone.

Survival Improved For Metastatic Gastric Cancer Patients Who Undergo Surgery And Radiation

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center studied patients with metastatic gastric cancer and found that those who have both surgery and radiation have better survival than those who receive one or no form of treatment. The study appeared in an online issue of Cancer…

How Proteins Are Made And Why They Have Impaired Functions Is Critical To Understanding Almost All Diseases

Imagine two steel springs identical in look and composition but that perform differently because each was tempered at a different rate. A team of researchers including a Texas A&M University molecular biologist has shown that concept – that the speed of creation affects performance – applies to how a protein they studied impacts an organism’s circadian clock function…

Mayo Clinic study finds two-drug combination may slow deadly thyroid cancer

A combination of the drugs pazopanib and paclitaxel shows promise in slowing anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), according to a Mayo Clinic-led study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The two drugs together resulted in greater anti-cancer activity in ATC than either drug alone. Researchers studied anaplastic thyroid cancer cells and tumors in cell culture and in animal models.

Predicting the age at menopause of women having suffered from childhood cancers

Researchers studied the age at menopause of a cohort of 706 women who had suffered from childhood cancer. The data revealed that these women, in particular those who had undergone unilateral oophorectomy or who had been treated with alkylating agents and who had received a radiation dose to the ovaries, were menopaused on average four to seven years earlier than average.

COUP-TFII sparks prostate cancer progression

Which cancers are essentially indolent and present no risk and which are life threatening? Which can be watched and which need aggressive treatment? A group of medical researchers think a receptor called COUP-TFII that they have long studied may point the way to an answer.
