Cancer that has spread to the central nervous system is notoriously difficult to treat. Now, UCLA researchers have developed a drug delivery system that breaks through the blood-brain barrier in order to reach and treat cancer that has spread to the central nervous system. In research conducted ...
It also discusses the involvement of the nervous system in the spread of tumor-promoting factors and the potential impact on treatment outcomes. The findings suggest that metastasis via the nervous system may be a significant factor in skin cancer metastasis, regardless of the presence of micro...
Breaking up clusters of circulating tumour cells to halt cancer spread A drug that limits the clustering of malignant breast-cancer cells that are moving through the bloodstream to distant organs might open avenues to block the lethal spread of a tumour. Daniel J. Smit & Klaus Pantel Article...
generate an overload and deregulate the state of cellular and tissue homeostasis; this could drive cancer development. In this review, we will address the issue in an evidence-oriented manner that supports that the nervous system is able to participate in the initial and progressive process of ca...
The CRISPR system is a revolutionary genome editing tool that has the potential to revolutionize the field of cancer research and therapy. The ability to precisely target and edit specific genetic mutations that drive the growth and spread of tumors has opened up new possibilities for the developmen...
Researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), led by Dr. Manuel Valiente, have uncovered how cancer cells that have spread to the brain (metastasis) are able to resist the effects of radiotherapy. The study reveals a new biomarker th
Lost my teen age son, who had bone cancer, to a horrible 10 month fight through chemo, radiation,amputation, wide spread of destruction and then they gave up on him. A clinic in mexico wanted to save him but between having no money and he could not be moved cause the pain and weaknes...
spread of cancer. Tumour cells can invade surrounding nerves and travel along the body’s electrical superhighway, seeding themselves anew in distant sites. That’s why, as cancers become more aggressive and metastasise, they often end up spreading to the nervous system’s central hub: the ...
"We found thatchronic stresssignals the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) – better known as the 'fight-or-flight' response – to profoundly impact lymphatic function and the spread of cancer cells," Dr Le said, who undertook the work as part of her PhD research. ...
Additionally, MMP enzymes have been found in studies related to cancer metastasis, or the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. Since MMPs were found to serve an important role for the invasion of the spinal cord by the dorsal root ganglion, Smith states that there could be a link...
