Detecting Lynch Syndrome Among Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Patients
Up-front tumor sequencing in colorectal cancer is simpler and has superior sensitivity to current multitest approaches to Lynch syndrome screening, while simultaneously providing critical information for treatment selection.
Discovery of How Cells Grow in Ovarian Cancer may Lead to New Therapy
Cellular pathway that selectively regulates a mutant protein, called p53-R175H, linked to ovarian cancer growth has been identified by a research team. This discovery opens the possibility of developing a novel way to fight ovarian cancer.
Depression a Risk of Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment
Individuals with worse depression and mood symptoms are more likely to develop Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and to progress from MCI to dementia. Evaluation and treatment of symptoms of depression may improve or maintain cognitive functioning in some older patients diagnosed with MCI.
Method to Block Chemotherapy-induced Neuropathic Pain Identified
Chemotherapy-induced pain is promoted by enhanced spinal adenosine kinase levels through astrocyte-dependent mechanisms, recent research finds. The development of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP) compromises the use of chemotherapy and greatly impacts thousands of lives.
New Silver-based Chemotherapy Drug Kills Cancer Cells
Silver-based anti-cancer drug has been discovered by researchers in South Africa. The effective induction of cell death by a silver(I) thiocyanate 4-methoxyphenyl phosphine complex in a malignant esophageal cell line seen in this study has been reported by recent research.
