When one twin gets cancer, other faces higher risk [Harvard Gazette]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Among
the 23 different types of cancer studied, an excess familial risk was
seen for almost all of the cancers, including common cancers such as
breast and prostate cancer, but also more rare cancers such as
testicular cancer, head and neck cancer, melanoma, ovarian, and stomach
cancer.

Grand Challenge three: prevent cancer by studying ‘scars’ in its DNA [Cancer Research UK]
|
|
|
|
|
|
As
well as the obvious strategy of playing ‘match the pattern to the
carcinogen’, the Grand Challenge panel is hoping to see these sorts of
efforts scaled up considerably, and broadened in scope – Harlow says
he’s keen to look beyond mistakes in the sequence of ‘letters’ in the
cancer’s DNA, for even wider patterns in how entire chromosomes or even
cell types are organised.

Cabozantinib Improves Upon the Standard of Care for Advanced Kidney Cancer [ASCO]
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
the trial, 658 patients with advanced RCC who had previously received
VEGFR inhibitor therapy were randomly assigned to receive cabozantinib
or everolimus. Early findings from the first 375 patients showed that
cabozantinib improved the median progression-free survival compared to
everolimus (7.4 months vs. 3.8 months).

For working-age cancer survivors, debt and bankruptcy are common [Reuters]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using
2012 survey data from 4,719 cancer survivors ages 18 to 64, Dr. Matthew
P. Banegas at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in
Portland, Oregon and colleagues found that one-third had gone into debt
because of cancer, and in more than half of those cases, the debt was
above $10,000. Three percent had filed for bankruptcy.

2015
was an exciting year. We were awarded a major grant, doubled in size
from 10 staff in four countries to 21 in ten countries, and made
substantial gains in adoption and technical offerings (peer review! SSO!
so much more!). So, what are our plans for the coming year?
