Some aggressive cancers may respond to anti-inflammatory drugs
New research from the School of Medicine raises the prospect that some cancer
patients with aggressive tumors may benefit from a class of anti-inflammatory drugs currently in use against rheumatoid arthritis.
Some deadly breast cancers share genetic features with ovarian tumors
The most comprehensive analysis yet of breast tumors shows that one of the most deadly subtypes shares many genetic features with similarly lethal ovarian tumors.
Decoding tumor genomes reveals clues to spread of deadly breast cancer that affects younger women, African-Americans
Using powerful DNA sequencing technology to decode the genomes of cancer patients, scientists at the School of Medicine are getting an unprecedented look at the genetic basis of a highly lethal breast cancer that disproportionately affects younger women and those who are African-American, they report in the journal Nature.
