Adding veliparib to chemotherapy can extend progression-free survival in patients with “BRCA-like” breast cancer

Results from the SWOG S1416 clinical trial show that adding veliparib to chemotherapy can significantly extend progression-free survival (PFS) times in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that has a "BRCA-like" phenotype.

New technique offers a two-prong approach to attacking cancers

When noninvasive sound waves break apart tumors, they trigger an immune response in mice. By breaking down the cell wall "cloak," the treatment exposes cancer cell markers that had previously been hidden from the body's defenses, researchers at the University of Michigan have shown.

Using systems biology research to alter the properties of carcinogenic cells in the lungs

KAIST (President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced on January 30th that a research team led by Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho from the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering succeeded in using systems biology research to change the properties of carcinogenic cells in the lungs and eliminate both drug resistance and their ability to proliferate out to other areas of the body.

Chemotherapy in the afternoon proved to be effective for female lymphoma patients

Chemotherapy is a commonly used regimen for cancer treatment, but it is also a double-edged sword. While the drugs are highly effective at killing cancer cells, they are also notorious for killing healthy cells in the body.
