Melanoma Tumors Carry Enemy Within, Suggesting New Treatment Strategy
11/23/07
Researchers have discovered that bortezomib, a promising cancer drug, is able to strike a blow against melanoma tumor cells by revving up the action of a cancer-promoting gene. The results suggest a novel treatment strategy: push cancer cells into overdrive, so that they self-destruct. The laboratory-based findings may lead to ways to give bortezomib with reduced side effects.
