Cancers Share Gene Patterns, Studies Affirm
Scientists have discovered that the most dangerous cancer of the
uterine lining closely resembles the worst ovarian and breast cancers,
providing the most telling evidence yet that cancer will increasingly
be seen as a disease defined primarily by its genetic fingerprint
rather than just by the organ where it originated.

Exorbitant Prices for Leukemia Drugs
Last year we were heartened when doctors at the Memorial Sloan-
Kettering Cancer Center in New York refused to use an outrageously
overpriced drug for treating advanced colorectal cancer because it was
no better than a cheaper (but still costly) alternative. Neither did
much to extend a patient’s life. Now the revolt against unjustifiably
high cancer drug prices has been joined by more than 100 leukemia
experts from more than 15 countries.

Teenage Cancer One-Year Survival Rates 'Vary Significantly'
Healthcare workers must have better awareness of the signs and
symptoms of cancer in teenagers and young adults, experts have said.
Mike Stevens, professor of paediatric oncology at the University of
Bristol, made his comments after figures show that one-year survival
rates "vary significantly" among youngsters who get the disease.

Scientists Decode "Molecular Chatter" That Makes Cancer Cells Spread
For the first time, scientists in the US have decoded the "molecular
chatter" that makes cancer cells more aggressive and more likely to
travel and set up tumors in other parts of the body (metastasize). The
discovery came about as a result of bringing together specialists in
cancer development with specialists in wound healing.

Experimental Drug Inhibits Growth in All Stages of Common Kidney
Cancer
Researchers at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Florida have discovered a
protein that is overly active in every human sample of kidney cancer
they examined. They also found that an experimental drug designed to
block the protein’s activity significantly reduced tumor growth in
animals when used alone. Combining it with another drug already used
to treat the cancer improved the effectiveness of both.

Les implants mammaires pourraient retarder la détection du cancer du
sein
La présence d'implants mammaires entraînerait un dépistage plus tardif
du cancer du sein et pourrait avoir un impact sur la survie des femmes
atteintes de ce cancer, selon une étude publiée mercredi par le
British Medical Journal (BMJ).

Le cancer de la peau lié à l'apparition d'autres cancers
On le savait déjà, mais une nouvelle étude le confirme : il faut
protéger sa peau du soleil. Les travaux, étalés sur 20 ans, montrent
que l’apparition d’un cancer de la peau favorise le développement
ultérieur d’autres cancers.
