Researchers find malignancy-risk gene signature for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer

A malignancy-risk gene signature developed for breast cancer has been found to have predictive and prognostic value for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer. The advancement was made by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. According to corresponding author Dung-Tsa Chen, Ph.D., associate member with the Moffitt Biostatistics program, non-small cell lung […]

Cervical screening programme saves lives in more ways than one

Regular cervical screening saves lives not only by discovering pre-cursors to cervical cancer before they become invasive – but also by improving the chances of successful treatment in cases where invasive cancer could not be prevented. ‘We found that women who die of cervical cancer have usually not been screened for a long time,’ says […]

High risk oesophageal cancer gene discovered

New research from Queen Mary, University of London has uncovered a gene which plays a key role in the development of oesophageal cancer (cancer of the gullet). The researchers studied families who suffer a rare inherited condition making them highly susceptible to the disease and found that a fault in a single gene was responsible. […]

Research on personalized tumor treatment using Roche´s GS Junior Sequencing System

The Center for Human Genetics and Laboratory Medicine Dr. Klein and Dr. Rost, and  IMGM Laboratories, both located in Martinsried Germany, reported using the Roche GS Junior Benchtop System to sequence clinically relevant exons and identify genomic variations in solid tumors treated with an antibody-based medicine. This sequencing approach, easily expanded to complete coding regions, […]

Fibroblasts contribute to melanoma tumour growth

Fibroblasts, cells that play a role in the structural framework of tissues, play an apparent role in melanoma tumour growth. Fibroblasts also contribute to melanoma drug resistance and may also facilitate the ‘flare’ response when a tumour’s metabolism is enhanced following a patient being removed from a targeted therapy, said researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center […]

Jackson Laboratory researchers find mutation causing neurodegeneration

A Jackson Laboratory research team led by Professor and Howard Hughes Medical Investigator Susan Ackerman, Ph.D., has discovered a defect in the RNA splicing process in neurons that may contribute to neurological disease. The researchers found that a mutation in just one of the many copies of a gene known as U2 snRNAs, which is […]

Faulty proteins may prove significant in identifying new treatments for ovarian cancer

OHSU Knight Cancer Institute study results suggest that more patients than initially thought could potentially be treated with a new class of drugs, PARP inhibitors A constellation of defective proteins suspected in causing a malfunction in the body’s ability to repair its own DNA could be the link scientists need to prove a new class […]
