Scientists in Seoul, Korea, have made significant strides in understanding the genetic factors influencing chemotherapy response in colorectal cancer patients. A groundbreaking report published in Cancer Science outlines a novel three-step process for identifying single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers that predict chemoresponsiveness. This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize cancer
Scientists
Scientists have detailed new data in the field of genetics and herpes simplex virus, revealing that RNA interference (RNAi) triggers from an oncolytic herpes simplex virus can lead to specific silencing in tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. The study, published in Bmc Cancer, aimed to express RNAi triggers
Scientists
A recent study published in the European Journal of Cancer analyzed the potential impact of increasing fruit and vegetable consumption on cancer incidence in five European countries. The research team found that achieving the recommended daily intake of 500 grams of fruits and vegetables could prevent approximately 398 cases of
