Revealing Colon Cancer's Escape Route‎Taking periodic breaks from a
Researchers have figured out why a popular therapy for treating colon
cancer often eventually stops working: The tumors naturally carry
genetic changes that allow some of their cells to evade the drug and
keep growing. The good news is that physicians may be able to detect
these changes in patients' blood and then halt the cancer with a
different drug before it can grow again to a dangerous size.

Patients with HER2-positive breast cancer now have a new treatment

New clinical trial design promises to accelerate cancer drug approvals
Patients with early-stage breast cancer usually have to wait years to
receive new cancer drugs but new guidance from the Food and Drug
