Abstract:
Advances in research have a highly influential role to play in the strategy of early detection, treatment and aftercare of breast cancer and therefore everyday clinical practice. Newly-defined prognosis factors and a new form of molecular subtype classification, for example, are intended to help identify patients who will actually benefit from chemotherapy. In the field of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the inclusion of the angiogenesis inhibitor Bevacizumab and dual antiHER2 therapy is being discussed. What's more, where defined criteria are met, even with positive sentinel lymph nodes, axillary dissection is not performed; besides bisphosphonates RANKL antibody Denosumab is now an option in the treatment of bone metastases.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer Vaccines
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
