The gross imbalances of cancer research must be addressed - Global cancer-research ecosystems invest billions of dollars in the development of oncological medicines and technologies, such as robotics and radiotherapy, yet comparatively little into programmes that aim to advance affordable, equitable and high-quality care and outcomes. The extraordinary growth in public and private expenditure on cancer discovery science and technologies, fuelled by the huge profits of cancer biopharmaceutical companies, has failed to create more opportunities for research in neglected areas. #Cancer #CancerCare #CancerResearch #BigPharma #research https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02609-2

🎉 Exciting News!
This week has been a whirlwind of milestones and achievements that I'm thrilled to share with all of you!💛(1/5)

RT @NCIJBSloan: One of my favorite resources is @NCI_CSSI’s #NCIITCR catalog page. And finding #bioinformatics tools for #CancerResearch, together with their code repositories, documentation, and introductory videos, just got easier with this updated interface: https://itcr.cancer.gov/informatics-tools

Are you looking for an exciting and fully-funded MRC PhD project on Wnt signalling in gastric cancer @LSI_Exeter? > exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…. More info? > PM/email. Deadline 01-11-2023. #biosciences #CancerResearch #Wnt #cytonemes @UoEBiosciences @uniofexeHLS @UniofExeter :ablobcatbongo:

NACT (#neoadjuvantchemotherapy ) Use Appears to be Increasing in Less Common #Epithelial #ovariancancer
•NACT may be associated with poor survival outcomes in low-grade serous carcinomas.

#cancerresearch LOR stimulates fibrosis and inflammatory signaling, promotes desmoplasia and ischemic necrosis, and is associated with decreased pancreatic cancer patient survival. whereas alprazolam (ALP) is associated with improved PFS, in #pancreaticcancer patients receiving #chemotherapy.

RT @NCI_CSSI: Need #bioinformatics tools, algorithms, and software to collect, process, analyze, and visualize #CancerResearch data? Check out the revamped #NCIITCR tool catalog to access tools, code repositories, and introductory videos, all free for academic use: https://itcr.cancer.gov/informatics-tools?title=&field_info_tools_new_tool_desc_value=&sort_by=field_info_tools_date_value&items_per_page=20

The IHI IMAGIO project is exploring the use of mini instruments to better target cancerous cells. The advantages?
✅Less damage to healthy cells
✅Patients can recover faster
✅Reduced cost of treatment

RT @ipiproteins: A huge amount of work and an incredible boon for #proteomics, #genomics and #cancerresearch, and it’s #openaccess, too!

Many of us know people with cancer and metastases and would like to better understand how they arise.
The Curing Cancer Network has now posted Part 3 of their series on how metastases arise: https://www.pathologyoutlines.com/ccnblog/howmetastasesarise3.html

@haritulsidas So, going to the university site and the actual paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41388-022-02429-0

- what this is is a drug screen. In cells in the lab (in vitro), not in people (some mouse experiments). Also, it's specific to one of the >6 types of #BreastCancer (TNBC), not BC or #cancer generally.

Interesting, and a good start, but it's not a 'breakthrough' as such. Drug screens return promising hits all the time!

#cancerResearch (the #immunotherapy part is super interesting too).

A groundbreaking discovery has been made in the field of cancer research. Scientists have found a way to revert cancer cells back into normal cells. This could have major implications for the treatment of cancer, potentially leading to new therapies that target the root cause of the disease. #cancerresearch #cancerdiscovery #cancertreatment https://www.thebrighterside.news/post/major-cancer-discovery-reverts-cancer-cells-back-into-normal-cells

How do cancer metastases arise?
Dr. Pernick has posted part 1 of a 4 part series, from a pathologist’s perspective, on the Curing Cancer Network's blog: https://www.pathologyoutlines.com/ccnblog/howmetastasesarise1.html

Henrietta Lacks’ immortal cervical cancer cells have lead to major insights and breakthroughs in #science, including the development of #polio and #COVID #vaccines. Those cells were taken without her knowledge or permission.

Today would have been Henrietta’s 103rd birthday. Her descendants have finally reached a settlement with Thermo Fisher over the use of #HeLa cells in their products.

It’s about time.

After losing our 18 year old son Oliver to cancer in March, my wonderful wife Jen is taking part in the Cancer Research UK Shine Night Walk in Liverpool on the 8th September, which is also her birthday.
