Cancer Research:'Metal' drugs to fight cancer ♦ Prostate cancer discovery may make it easier to kill cancer cells ♦ Tumors hijack export pathway to resist chemotherapy

Scientists study single 'transformer' proteins with role in cancer A new study shows how a protein involved in cancer twists and morphs into different structures. This protein when mutated, has been shown to interfere with cells' suppressing ability
Tumors hijack export pathway to resist chemotherapy A novel strategy that aggressive sarcomas use to promote drug resistance and cancer's spread has been uncovered by researchers. They've discovered evidence of how to reverse the process.
'Metal' drugs to fight cancer. The mechanism of action of metal-based chemotherapy drugs (the most widely used for treating common cancers like testicular or ovarian cancer
More than one-third of patients with metastatic cancer continue to work A new analysis indicates that many patients continue working after being diagnosed with metastatic cancer, but a heavy burden of symptoms may prevent them.. The study illustrates the need to treat difficult symptoms so that patients can maintain their employment
Prostate cancer discovery may make it easier to kill cancer cells A newly discovered connection between two common prostate cancer treatments may soon make prostate cancer cells easier to destroy. Drugs that could capitalize on the discovery are already in the pipeline
