Effective drugs for treating a chemotherapy-resistant form of Lymphoma might already be on the market according to a study that has pieced together a chemical pathway involved in the disease. By following the trail of several molecular flags that mark this type of cancer, researchers have discovered that anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat arthritis will shrink Lymphoma tumors in mice.

Scientists have uncovered clues to the development of cancers in AIDS patients.

DNA Mutation That Occurs At Beginning Point Of T-cell Lymphoma Identified

 :  Category: Lymphoma

Researchers have identified a key mechanism that causes chromosomes within blood cells to break — an occurrence that marks the first step in the development of human Lymphoma.

Trimming The Fat Boosts Blood Recovery After Marrow Transplant

 :  Category: Lymphoma

Seeking ways to improve blood recovery after chemotherapy or bone marrow transplant, researchers have discovered that fat cells, which accumulate in bone marrow as people age, inhibit the marrow’s ability to produce new blood cells. Their study suggests that blocking this fatty infiltration could help enhance patients’ recovery after transplant.

Waste Disposal Protein Is Mechanism Behind Cancer Tumor Suppression

 :  Category: Lymphoma

Investigators have discovered that a waste disposal protein is the key to cancer tumor suppression in a process known as autophagy — a process in which cancer cells eat themselves.

Single Gene Found To Control Growth Of Some Cancers
