Abstract:
The 46th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held in Chicago, included topics covering new therapeutic developments in the field of oncology. This conference report highlights selected presentations on novel therapies for cancers including glioblastoma, breast cancer, myeloma, NSCLC and solid tumors. Investigational drugs discussed include rindopepimut and PF-299804 (both Pfizer Inc), entinostat (Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc), panobinostat and NVP-LDE-225 (both Novartis AG), CHR-3996 (Chroma Therapeutics Ltd), and HGS-1029 (Human Genome Sciences Inc).

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
