A genetics team sequenced DNA from both cancerous and normal tissue from a patient with the white blood cell cancer. The researchers then compared the two sequences to identify 10 mutated genes that ...

Giving standard chemotherapy drugs in a specific sequence for some types of metastatic breast cancer can help reduce overall costs and improve the value of care while preserving quality of life, ...

Denise Yardley, MD, is a medical oncologist with Tennessee Oncology, who specializes in breast cancer. Much of her research has focused on HER2 breast cancer, and she has been involved with trials ...

The sequence of systematic therapies for unresectable or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma may have an impact on patient survival, a new retrospective analysis suggests. "Our study provides ...

Researchers have recently identified a DNA region known as VNTR2-1 that appears to drive the activity of the telomerase gene, which has been shown to prevent aging in certain types of cells. Knowing ...

April 9 — An ambitious plan to sequence large numbers of cancer genomes is underway, under the auspices of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC). Although the proposal has already stirred ...

Researchers developed three different computer models to predict how a hypothetical set of 10,000 patients with specific types of metastatic breast cancer would respond to different sequences and ...

The human body is essentially made up of trillions of living cells. It ages as its cells age, which happens when those cells eventually stop replicating and dividing. Scientists have long known that ...
