In their efforts to explore more effective and efficient ways to conduct clinical trials, Mayo Clinic cancer researchers will present new recommendations about how long studies should track results when evaluating new cancer therapies. Herpes Virus Can Be Used As Nanomachines For Cancer Treatment
Herpes viruses, though not life-threatening, are usually considered to be embarrassing and annoying. Researchers have now found a way to use the virus to potentially fight breast cancer, which, according to the American Cancer Society, is the most common cancer among women. In fact, excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer accounts for nearly one in three cancers diagnosed in U.S. women. Women-Owned Business Economic Research

FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Baby Talk Is Universal
