"Article Date: 03 Mar 2011 Scientists Target Aggressive Prostate Cancer Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a potential target to treat an aggressive type of prostate cancer. The target, a gene called SPINK1, could be to prostate cancer what HER2 has become for breast cancer. Like HER2, SPINK1 occurs in only a small subset of prostate cancers - about 10 percent. But the gene is an ideal target for a monoclonal antibody, the same type of drug as Herceptin, which is aimed at HER2 and has dramatically improved treatment for this aggressive type of breast cancer. |

"Article Date: 04 Mar 2011 Metabolic Function For Tumor Suppressor Points To New Cancer Therapeutics The gene for the protein p53 is the most frequently mutated in human cancer. It encodes a tumor suppressor, and traditionally researchers have assumed that it acts primarily as a regulator of how genes are made into proteins. Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine show that the protein has at least one other biochemical activity: controlling the metabolism of the sugar glucose, one of body's main sources of fuel. These new insights on a well-studied protein may be used to develop new cancer therapies..." |

Hello Jean Pierre,
----------------------------------------Are you back to your old habit of criticizing my posts again? They are all different articles interesting artcles and I break no riules. If you have nothing positive to say please be quiet. One other thing. You clearly don't read my posts. I've noticed that you have had a habit in the past of posting the same articles after I have posted them (specifically in the interesting articles about AIDS forum), but in the interests of not discouraging posts by others I kept my silence. Thank you. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Michael2901 at Mar 9, 2011 3:15:11 AM] |

"Article Date: 11 Mar 2011 Trial Treats Prostate Cancer With Diet The vegetables most boys wanted to avoid in childhood - such as kale and broccoli - just may be the answer to staving off prostate cancer growth in adulthood. A new clinical trial at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center will evaluate whether or not a change in diet, reinforced with telephone counseling and exercise, can stop or delay the progression of prostate cancer. "Ours is the first study to focus on changing the entire lifestyle rather than just giving the participants a supplement pill," said J. Kellogg Parsons, MD, MHS, urologic oncologist at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. "We focus on more vegetables, less meat, and comprehensive counseling which encourages a more active lifestyle..." |
