Press Review (February 9, 2013) – Revue de presse (9 février 2013)


Aflibercept Approved for Colorectal Cancer in Europe
Aflibercept (Zaltrap, Regeneron/Sanofi) has been approved in Europe
for use in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Compound Stimulates Tumor-Fighting Protein in Cancer Therapy
A compound that stimulates the production of a tumor-fighting protein
may improve the usefulness of the protein in cancer therapy, according
to a team of researchers, including several from the Penn State
Hershey Cancer Institute and College of Medicine.

Molecular Link Between Metabolism and Breast Cancer
A protein associated with conditions of metabolic imbalance, such as
diabetes and obesity, may play a role in the development of aggressive
forms of breast cancer, according to new findings by researchers at
the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes
of Health, and their colleagues. Metabolic imbalance is often caused
by elevated carbohydrate intake, which can lead to over-activating a
molecule called C-terminal binding protein (CtBP). This over-
activation, in turn, can increase the risk of breast cancer. Results
of their work appeared in Nature Communications, Feb. 5, 2013.

Cancer in the Developing World: An Under-Prioritized Threat to Health
and Development
The rise of hundreds of millions of people out of poverty during the
past 50 years is a story of tremendous, unprecedented human progress.
A significant factor in this success has been the global community's
coordinated effort to tackle serious health and economic barriers,
like HIV, malaria, pneumonia, and lack of access to family planning.

Matching Tumors With The Optimal Cancer Drugs
In a new paper,  researchers assess the complete landscape of a
cancer's kinome expression and determine which kinases are acting up
in a particular tumor.  Since the proteins are relatively easy to
target with drugs and plenty of kinase inhibitors already exist, the
work shows that those particular kinases can be targeted with drugs
and can even lead to potentially combining multiple drugs to target
multiple kinases

Lower Risk of ER-Negative Breast Cancer Linked to Vegetable
Consumption
Consuming more vegetables is associated with a lower risk of estrogen
receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer, according to a new study
published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Researchers
from Harvard Medical School did not observe a link between the total
fruit and vegetable intake and overall risk of breast cancer or risk
of ER-positive breast cancer.

RNA promotes metastasis in lung cancer
The vast majority – approximately 80 percent – of our DNA does not
code for proteins, yet it gets transcribed into RNA. These RNA
molecules are called non-coding and fulfill multiple tasks in the
cell. Alongside a well-studied group of small RNAs, there is also a
class of so-called long non-coding RNAs consisting of more than 200
nucleotides...

cancer, according to two new studies.

Cancer : les taux de survie s'améliorent... si peu
Une étude portant sur 427 000 cas en France, entre 1989 et 2007,
montre que la survie à 5 ans s'améliore légèrement pour la plupart des
cancers.

Lutte contre le(s) cancer(s): les défis de la Médecine personnalisée!
La lutte contre le cancer est une illustration parfaite du défi contre
la complexité, cher à Edgar Morin. Les progrès de la recherche ont
certes permis d'améliorer considérablement la prise en charge des
patients cancéreux mais ont aussi révélé qu'il y avait autant de
cancers différents que de personnes atteintes. Il existe de nombreux
moyens pour une cellule de devenir cancéreuse et si l'on ne connaît
pas le cheminement exact conduisant à la tumeur, le traitement risque
d'être inadapté ou peu efficace.

Peurs, préjugés et idées reçues: des alliés du cancer à combattre!
Le 4 février est la journée mondiale contre le cancer et le thème
choisi par l'Union internationale contre le cancer porte, cette année,
sur les peurs et les préjugés liés au cancer.

Un mécanisme qui bloque la croissance des cellules cancéreuses
Un mécanisme qui stoppe la croissance des cellules cancéreuses, comme
si il les privait d'une protéine clé indispensable à leur
reproduction, c’est ce qu’a découvert cette équipe de recherche de
l’Université de Pittsburgh.
