This post was originally published on this site Screening a woman’s breast cancer for certain genetic and molecular patterns may be used to predict the risk of the cancer returning (relapsing) up to 20 years later, a study reports. Looking at the molecular data of breast tumors of nearly 2,000 women, researchers identified specific tumor…
This post was originally published on this site Alzinova‘s ALZ-101 vaccine — designed to target toxic forms of the amyloid beta protein that drive neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease — was well-tolerated in non-human primates and displayed efficacy in a fish model of the disease. A clinical study in patients with early Alzheimer’s disease now is expected to…
This post was originally published on this site Xynomic Pharma is preparing two new Phase 2 trials in China to explore the activity of its investigational HDAC inhibitor, abexinostat, as third-line therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). The trials were approved by an independent ethics committee and will be conducted…
This post was originally published on this site Seres Therapeutics and AstraZeneca have established a research collaboration to unravel the mechanisms by which the microbiome – the natural, beneficial community of microbes living in the gut — might enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies. “Our new collaboration with Seres Therapeutics represents an important opportunity to…
This post was originally published on this site When my 67-year-old mother was diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer I was devastated. My mother already was disabled from depression and fibromyalgia, so being diagnosed a few months later with Alzheimer’s disease along with terminal cancer seemed like a cruel joke. Soon after I learned of…
This post was originally published on this site While current clinical data support no difference in the survival outcomes of prostate cancer patients after robotic surgery or radiation therapy, men tend to prefer surgery after consulting with their urologists and radiation oncologists, according to a small Australian study. Researchers found that treatment choices were primarily…
This post was originally published on this site Proteomic analysis — the characterization of all proteins present in a cell at a given time — in liquid biopsies from the womb may facilitate the early diagnosis of women who are genetically predisposed to develop high-grade ovarian cancer (HGOC), a study says. The study, “Microvesicle Proteomic…
This post was originally published on this site The expansion part of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial testing tinostamustine in relapsed or refractory blood cancers has begun treating the first patient. The trial (NCT02576496), conducted by Mundipharma EDO in collaboration with Imbrium Therapeutics, is currently seeking about 111 adult patients in the U.S. and Europe with either…
This post was originally published on this site Fatigue is the most commonly reported symptom by sarcoidosis patients in Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands, according to a survey conducted by researchers from those countries. Nerve damage-related symptoms are a close second. The study, “The Burden of Sarcoidosis Symptoms from a Patient Perspective” was published in…
This post was originally published on this site Estradiol, a type of estrogen and the major female hormone, may drive the spread of cancer to the brain in women with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a study in mice and human cells reports. Researchers identified a chain of molecular events triggered by estradiol that appears to…
