Cancer Therapies

7.5K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
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

47.1K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Psychoneuroimmunology: Diabetes and Cancer

Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Bioelectricity
  • Cancer Biology

Background:

  • The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is exploring bioelectricity's role in cancer.
  • A virtual meeting convened top scientists to discuss bioelectricity in cancer biology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To overview a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored meeting on bioelectricity and cancer.
  • To summarize research on bioelectrical coupling, signatures, and modeling in cancer formation and progression.

Main Methods:

  • The meeting featured talks from 14 researchers presenting diverse aspects of bioelectricity in cancer.
  • Discussions included cell collective bioelectrical changes, novel tools for bioelectrical signature manipulation, and ion channel functions.

Main Results:

  • Exploration of how cell collectives alter bioelectrical coupling during cancer formation.
  • Presentation of new tools for measuring and manipulating bioelectrical signatures in cells and organisms.
  • Discussion of ion channel roles in development and tumor growth, and modeling of bioelectrical interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Emerging translational technologies include novel diagnostics, metastasis inhibition, and improved surgical margin detection.
  • Funding opportunities from NCI programs were highlighted for future research in bioelectricity and cancer.
