Game changing diagnostic & prognostic prostate cancer genetic tests
revealed by Jefferson
Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have developed
potentially game-changing diagnostic and prognostic genetic tests
shown to better predict prostate cancer survival outcomes and
distinguish clinically-relevant cancers.

Cancer breakthrough: Disease depends on surrounding normal cells to
spread, study finds
In a major breakthrough, Toronto scientists have discovered a new
approach to cancer treatment that would target the “normal” cells
embedded around tumours.

Poison for cancer cells: New method identifies active agents in
mixtures of hundreds of substances
In their quest for new agents, pharmaceutical researchers test
millions of substances all over the world. They like using color-
forming reactions to identify new molecules. However, in intensively
colored solutions or in the case of mixtures with multiple substances
these tests fail. As part of his doctoral thesis, Martin Stein, member
of staff at the Chair of Biochemistry at the Technische Universitaet
Muenchen, developed a testing reaction based on magnetic resonance
data. It helps find a specific pharmaceutical molecule among hundreds
of different substances even in the most turbid of bacterial brews

Cancer : les cellules tumorales ne supportent pas la pression !
L'allongement de la durée du traitement par tamoxifène en adjuvant à
10 ans permet de réduire le risque de récidive tardive du cancer du
sein avec expression des récepteurs aux estrogènes (ER+) et améliore
la survie, selon l'étude ATLAS (Adjuvant Tamoxifen - Longer Against
Shorter) présentée au San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) et
publiée simultanément dans le Lancet.
