Press Review (June 30, 2012) – Revue de presse (30 juin 2012)



Women's lung cancer deaths up in South and Midwest‎
Despite falling lung cancer rates across the U.S. in the past decade,
researchers report that deaths from the disease are steady or rising
among middle-aged women in southern and Midwestern states.

Side effects persist after prostate cancer treatment‎‎

from treatment up to a decade later, a new study finds‎.

Is it Rationing? Cancer Screening and Clinical Uncertainty‎
Last month, the federal panel that decides which preventive services
health plans must cover said it will drop blood testing for prostate
cancer. The president of the trade group that represents urologists
proclaimed himself and his organization "outraged." He warned that
refusal to cover the test, for levels of prostate-specific antigen
(PSA), will cost lives. And he played the race card, calling it
"inappropriate and irresponsible to issue a blanket statement against
PSA testing, particularly for at-risk populations, such as African-
American men."

Glucose deprivation activates feedback loop that kills cancer cells,
UCLA study shows
Compared to normal cells, cancer cells have a prodigious appetite for
glucose, the result of a shift in cell metabolism known as aerobic
glycolysis or the "Warburg effect." Researchers focusing on this
effect as a possible target for cancer therapies have examined how
biochemical signals present in cancer cells regulate the altered
metabolic state.

Moderate exercise tied to lower breast cancer risk: study‎
Women who exercise moderately may be less likely than their inactive
peers to develop breast cancer after menopause, according to a U.S.
study‎.

Cutaneous Human Papillomavirus Infection a Risk Factor for Skin Cancer
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues at the University
of South Florida, the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, and
the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France,
conducted a case control study and found associations between having
antibodies to certain types of cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV)
and a kind of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Study identifies pathway to enhance usefulness of EGFR inhibitors in
lung cancer treatment
Many lung cancers are driven by mutations in the epidermal growth-
factor receptor (EGFR), and so it makes sense that many successful
modern treatments block EGFR activity. Unfortunately, cancers
inevitably evolve around EGFR inhibition, and patients with lung
cancers eventually relapse. A University of Colorado Cancer Center
study published today in the journal Cancer Research details a
signaling pathway, known as 'the canonical Wnt pathway', that lung
cancer cells use to escape from EGFR-targeted therapy – and suggests
that by disrupting this pathway, we could lengthen the usefulness of
existing EGFR inhibition therapies.

Metformin may lower cancer risk in people with Type 2 diabetes‎
‎A commonly prescribed diabetes drug, metformin, reduces the overall
cancer risk in people with Type 2 diabetes, a large systematic review

Les "perles" du cancer‎‎
"T'as achet$(D??(B bio, ton cancer aussi sera bio. Et, pour la chimio, je te
conseille la coccinelle." Cette r$(D??(Bplique de Not, le "punk $(D??(B chien"
interpr$(D??(Bt$(D??(B par Beno$(D??(Bt Poelvoorde dans le film Le Grand Soir de Bruno
Del$(D??(Bpine et Gustave Kerven, m'a fait rire aux $(D??(Bclats et ne me quitte
pas. Assis sur le bitume d'un parking de centre commercial, Not
interpelle ainsi un couple qui pousse son chariot rempli de produits
biologiques. L'histoire ne dit pas si ces consommateurs repartent
ensuite en voiture diesel "qui pue et qui pollue" et se grillent une
cigarette en arrivant chez eux pour d$(D??(Bcompresser de leur samedi pass$(D??(B
$(D??(B faire les courses. Le soir, ils se rassureront sur leur hygi$(D??(Bne de
vie en mangeant du bio.
