If you have cancer, will your children get cancer too? Cancer genetics experts Katherine Nathanson, MD, and David Lieberman, MS, CGC, discuss the role of genetics and cancer.
Tumor relapse after chemotherapy-induced regression is a major clinical problem, because it often involves inoperable metastatic disease. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are known to limit the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy in preclinical models ...
Small engineered scaffold proteins have attracted attention as probes for radionuclide-based molecular imaging. One class of these imaging probes, termed ABD-Derived Affinity ProTeins (ADAPT), have been created using the albumin-binding domain (ABD) of...
Integrin αvβ3 has been implicated as a driver of aggressive and metastatic disease, and is upregulated during glioblastoma progression. Here we demonstrate that integrin αvβ3 allows glioblastoma cells to counteract senescence through a novel tissue...
The treatment of breast cancer has benefitted tremendously from the generation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-targeted therapies, but disease relapse continues to pose a challenge due to intrinsic or acquired drug resistance. In an effort to delinea...
Epidemiological studies have shown that caffeinated drinks may help prevent skin cancer by inhibiting a DNA repair pathway, thus killing potentially precancerous cells. In English, it means that drinking drinks containing caffeine will reduce one’s chances of developing some types of cancer, includingread more
A recent study stated that drinking three sugar sweetened drinks a week would increase the risk of having breast cancer. The study had 776 pre-menopausal women and 779 post-menopausal women. Each women’s breast density was assessed by examining their mammograms. The women were told to make aread more
