BREAST CANCER BASE

Breast cancer is a common malignancy of women worldwide each year, about 1.2 million women with breast cancer, 50 million people died of breast cancer. In Western Europe, North America and other developed countries, the incidence of breast cancer for women the first.
Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center in a new study shows that joint use of two new drugs to kill mice up to 75% of breast tumors and demonstrated a tumor growth inhibition effect. These findings are published in the November 14 issue of Cancer Biology and Therapy magazine's online edition. These new findings also for prostate cancer, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood-cancer treatment, a certain sense.
Biochemical and radiotherapy cancer expert Dr. Paul Dent led the research team in 2002, the research results in live animals for testing.
The new study, the researchers also use two new drugs — UCN-01 and a MEK / 2 inhibitors. Already aware of the two drugs to inhibit protein kinase, part of tumor survival signaling pathways.
Two drugs not only the joint cells and can inhibit tumor growth, but in your own right as well as a new generation of non-cancerous cells are less toxic drugs. Therefore, the researchers will look forward to these exciting discoveries from the laboratory to human transfer of patients either.
When these two drugs separately, the drugs only killed a few cells, and when combined, have the effect was quite startling — the five-day period, the researchers observed that a large number of tumor cell death. These results suggest that the drug combination strategy may be to other breast cancer patients and a great boon.

Miyazaki, Japan, a city hospitals have started using ultrasonic treatment of breast cancer clinical trials to validate the effectiveness of new therapies and have side effects.

Ultrasonic treatment of breast cancer by the Harvard development, the main device used magnetic resonance imaging to determine the location of the cancer and then concentrated ultrasonic irradiation cancer, rely on the 60 degrees to 80 Celsius degrees will kill them.
