Ability to track stem cells in tumors could advance cancer treatmentsNew therapies offer promise for patients, say researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting, June 14-18 |
Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells Identified, Characterized And Cloned, Leading To More Effective TreatmentResearchers at Yale School of Medicine have identified, characterized and cloned ovarian cancer stem cells and have shown that these stem cells may be the source of ovarian cancer's recurrence and its resistance to chemotherapy. "These results bring us closer to more effective and targeted treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer, one of the most lethal forms of cancer," said Gil Mor, M.D., associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine. |
Stem Cell Transplant May Improve Survival Among Elderly with Relapsed Non-Hodgkin’s LymphomaA recent study reveals that elderly patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) may benefit from autologous stem cell transplant. Results from the study, conducted at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, were recently published in Annals of Oncology. |
Protein In Embryonic Stem Cells Control Malignant Tumor CellsScienceDaily (Mar. 3, 2008) — A protein that governs development of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) also inhibits the growth and spread of malignant melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer, Northwestern University researchers have discovered. Metastatic melanoma, which develops from the transformation of skin pigment cells or melanocytes, has a death rate of more than 80 percent and a median survival of less than 7.5 months. |
