A new online way of quickly prioritizing the best druggable cancer
targets has successfully identified 46 previously overlooked targets.

Common Data Determinants of Recurrent Cancer Are Broken, Mislead
Researchers
In order to study the effectiveness or cost effectiveness of
treatments for recurrent cancer, you first have to discover the
patients in medical databases who have recurrent cancer. Generally
studies do this with billing or treatment codes -- certain codes
should identify who does and does not have recurrent cancer. A recent
study published in the journal Medical Care shows that the commonly
used data determinants of recurrent cancer may be misidentifying
patients and potentially leading researchers astray.

Knowing You Carry a Cancer Gene
I jogged into the Stanford Cancer Clinic with my boyfriend, the
youngest people there by two decades. We stood there sweating and
holding hands, a jarring sight in the sickly light.
“You are 18, right?” the receptionist asked. Behind me, a woman so
gaunt that her cheekbones protruded rolled by in a wheelchair. The
oncologist called me alone to the exam room, and I told her the story
I had revealed to more doctors than friends: I carry the BRCA1
mutation, which gives you a 98 percent chance of developing cancer.

Il est temps de redéfinir ce qu'est vraiment un cancer
Il n'est pas du ressort de la science de définir la santé, car sa
subjectivité la rend incompatible avec les impératifs de démonstration
et de preuve.

Le cancer au cinéma. Poignant et peu réaliste [Vidéos]
Une majorité de malades jeunes et de femmes, des pathologies «
choisies », une intensité dramatique à l’annonce du diagnostic, peu de
scènes évoquant le traitement et la rémission… C’est la version grand
écran du cancer.

Le cancer, principale cause des inégalités sociales en matière de
santé
Les cadres sont en meilleure santé que les ouvriers ou les employés,
et ils vivent nettement plus longtemps. Ce constat des inégalités
sociales en matière de santé, qui n'est pas nouveau, est conforté par
les dernières statistiques passées au crible par le Haut Conseil pour
l'avenir de l'assurance-maladie, dans un rapport publié il y a
quelques jours.
