Cancer survival rates improve but most people remain financially
exposed
Medical advance means more people diagnosed with cancer are surviving
for longer, according to new figures from the Office for National
Statistics (ONS), but relatively few people have any financial
protection in place against the risk of living with reduced earning
power.

Molecule treats leukemia by preventing cancer cell repair

CANCER: Quand un Kiss tourne mal
Il s$B!G(Bagit du g$(D??(Bne Kiss1, un g$(D??(Bne suppresseur de m$(D??(Btastases qui aide $(D??(B
pr$(D??(Bvenir la propagation des cancers, notamment le m$(D??(Blanome et les
cancers du pancr$(D??(Bas et de l'ovaire. Ces chercheurs de la Western
University font la lumi$(D??(Bre sur ses prot$(D??(Bines, les kisspeptides qui
inhibent normalement les m$(D??(Btastases. Leurs conclusions sont publi$(D??(Bes
dans la revue Endocrinology.

Gagner la guerre contre le cancer: mais qui est l'ennemi ?
Les efforts pour contr$(D??(Bler et  traiter le cancer sont souvent d$(D??(Bcrits
dans des termes militaires. L'image d'une guerre contre la maladie fut
jadis appliqu$(D??(Be aux autres "maladies fl$(D??(Bau" comme la tuberculose et la
syphilis, mais dans ces cas elle se r$(D??(Bf$(D??(Brait $(D??(B des interventions
visant $(D??(B limiter la propagation d'une infection. La "guerre contre le
cancer" est tr$(D??(Bs diff$(D??(Brente. Il s'agit avant tout d'un combat direct
contre "le crabe", pr$(D??(Bsent$(D??(B comme un ennemi acharn$(D??(B, sournois et
cruel. Une utilisation intensive de m$(D??(Btaphores militaires est unique
au cancer. On parle rarement d'une  guerre contre les accidents
vasculaires c$(D??(Br$(D??(Bbraux, la maladie de Parkinson, le diab$(D??(Bte, les
maladies neurod$(D??(Bg$(D??(Bn$(D??(Bratives ou l'emphys$(D??(Bme pulmonaire. Les individus
qui succombent $(D??(B ces affections ne le font pas au terme d'une "longue
et courageuse bataille", et ceux qui gu$(D??(Brissent ou sont stabilis$(D??(Bs ne
sont pas pr$(D??(Bsent$(D??(Bs comme des "survivants" ou des "h$(D??(Bros ordinaires".
Pour comprendre pourquoi  le cancer est per$(D??(Bu $(D??(B travers des images
militaires, il faudra se pencher sur l'histoire de cette maladie.
