Press Review (March 16, 2013) – Revue de presse (16 mars 2013)


Inadequate Treatment of Ovarian Cancer
A new study has found widespread failure among doctors to follow
clinical guidelines for treating ovarian cancer, which kills 15,000
women a year in this country. This disturbing news shows the kind of
challenge that health care reformers are up against in improving
medical care — even when cost is not the issue.

News Blood test tracks cancer
A blood test for DNA shed by dying tumour cells might one day be used
to track a patient's response to therapy, results from a pilot study
in breast cancer suggest. The technique would provide an alternative
to invasive biopsies that retrieve tumour tissue for analysis.

New Monoclonal Antibody Developed That Can Target Proteins Inside
Cancer Cells
Researchers have discovered a unique monoclonal antibody that can
effectively reach inside a cancer cell, a key goal for these important
anticancer agents, since most proteins that cause cancer or are
associated with cancer are buried inside cancer cells. Scientists from
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Eureka Therapeutics have
collaborated to create the new human monoclonal antibody, which
targets a protein associated with many types of cancer and is of great
interest to cancer researchers.

Blood test reveals women's response to breast cancer treatment

England Journal of Medicine.

Heart disease risk after breast cancer radiotherapy smaller than
previously thought
Researchers have for the first time calculated by how much
radiotherapy for breast cancer increases the risk of heart disease and
the findings can now be used by doctors to help treat patients more
appropriately, according to a study published in the New England
Journal of Medicine today (Wednesday).
