Singapore scientists have identified FAIM, a molecule that typically prevents cell death, as a potential biomarker to identify an incurable form of cancer in the bone marrow. Patients with this form of cancer usually do not get cured with current standard treatments such as chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, with an average survival of only about four years. FAIM could thus be a therapeutic target in these patients, as drugs developed to target the molecule could destroy multiple myeloma cells and hence eradicate the cancer. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-12-scientists-biomarker-cancer-bone-marrow.html Cancer Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:25:56 EST news274609544 (HealthDay)—Many people with incurable cancer mistakenly believe chemotherapy may save them, a new study finds. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-10-terminal-cancer-patients-false-chemo.html Cancer Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:10:31 EST news270317416 A glass a day of grapefruit juice lets patients derive the same benefits from an anti-cancer drug as they would get from more than three times as much of the drug by itself, according to a new clinical trial. The combination could help patients avoid side effects associated with high doses of the drug and reduce the cost of the medication. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-08-grapefruit-juice-patients-dose-cancer.html Cancer Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:17:05 EST news263564214 A new scoring system can more reliably predict whether patients with advanced cancer are likely to survive for "days", "weeks" or "months" finds a study published in the British Medical Journal today. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-08-score-doctors-cancer-patients-left.html Cancer Fri, 26 Aug 2011 04:43:09 EST news233552580
