What’s the latest “need to know” news in cancer research? In this post, I’ll briefly review several of the most interesting cancer research stories that have been in the news this winter.
These are a few of the recent stories that seem to have the greatest potential impact, at least from my perspective, and that I know I’ll want to follow as they develop further.
Among the topics we cover this time are a new targeted therapy for cancer that’s making its way into breast cancer treatment and the possible negative impact on treatment effectiveness of certain compounds commonly found in food.
We’ve heard a lot in the news over the last year about how researchers are working to develop a blood test to detect cancer, sometimes referred to as a “liquid biopsy”.
