All women treated with radiation therapy for breast cancer are at risk of developing dermatitis -- a sometimes-painful skin condition caused by radiation as it makes its way through the skin to the tumor area and tissue within the breast. But researchers say women being treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy are less likely to have serious dermatitis. Blood Vessel-building Protein Halts Blood Vessels From Forming In Canc
A piece of the protein cellular scaffolding involved in building blood vessels during development might have the opposite effect in tumors. Cell biologists at Jefferson Medical College and the Kimmel Cancer Center of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found that the protein fragment endorepellin blocks both skin and lung cancer tumors from progressing in animal models by preventing their ability to recruit new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis. They showed that endorepellin has surprisingly powerful effects on halting a cancer tumor's ability to move about and spread. Research Points To 'Addictive' Protein In Treating Breast Cancer
William Kinlaw, an associate professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, has been working on a protein called S14 since 1990. Over the past few months, however, the news about S14 has picked up. Through a series of recently published academic studies, Kinlaw and his colleagues are ready to pronounce S14 a potential drug target in treating breast cancer.
