1 Patient, 7 Tumors and 100 Billion Cells Equal 1 Striking Recovery
There was an exceptional example of a woman who recovered from an advanced colon cancer after being treated with her own cells. This offers new possibilities for other people who suffer from pancreatic or colon cancer. This was the primary example of a successful cancer mutation that the experts have been trying to cure for years....

One Big Question: How close are we to a cancer vaccine?
Earlier this year we reported on new research that focused on training the body’s own immune cells to fight cancer through a process known as adoptive immunotherapy. The process involves removing immune-system white blood cells known as T-cells, genetically modifying them to recognize certain proteins involved with cancer cells, then injecting them back in their body where they...

Inhibiting the SUMO Pathway Represses the Cancer Stem Cell Population in Breast and Colorectal Carcinomas
Highlights Sumoylation regulates CD44 and MMP14 expression in basal breast and colon cancer SUMO inhibition clears cancer stem cells, repressing invasiveness and tumor growth Anacardic acid functions as a SUMO inhibitor to repress cancer stem cells TFAP2A mediates anti-tumor effects of SUMO inhibition in breast and colon cancers Summary Many solid cancers have an expanded...

Bone marrow cancer: Noninvasive detection steps closer
Researchers have for the first time shown it may be possible to detect early – or pre-fibrotic – stages of myelofibrosis noninvasively with magnetic resonance imaging. The current standard method of diagnosing the rare bone marrow cancer is through tissue analysis of biopsy samples. Myelofibrosis is a rare, slowly evolving cancer where bone marrow becomes...
