A Giant 'Little Step' In Cancer Treatment-Parallel Dimension-Treatment Options

A giant 'little step' in cancer treatment opening up new therapeutic horizons

A new study heralds a new horizon in the fight against Cancer, opening up a parallel dimension to existing treatment options. The data demonstrate that by combining two drugs that had already been used on a patient in the past but had stopped working, they boost each other’s efficacy and at the same time manage to break down the patient’s resistance to each of them individually, presenting a third potential treatment option for clinically advanced metastatic tumors. While this may not initially appear to be an innovation, given that combined treatments are used in cancer as a matter of course, it actually represents a radical change in the use of the existing therapeutic weaponry, an extremely practical solution and a source of hope for many patients. read more..

Human Papillomavirus-Dutch Researchers-Cervical Cancer-Hpv Testing-Smear Tests

Study endorses HPV testing for all women over 30

LONDON (Reuters) - New DNA tests looking for the virus responsible for most cases of Cervical Cancer make sense for all women aged 30 or over, since they can prevent more cases of Cancer than smear tests alone, Dutch researchers said on Thursday.
