Discovery Of Gene Mechanism Could Bring About New Ways To Treat Metastatic Cancer
Published July 3, 2008, 11:22 am, Science Daily
The molecular and biochemical mechanism of action of unique cytokine gene found to induce potent bystander antitumor effects in animal models and in Phase I clinical trials has been identified. Researchers have uncovered how a gene, melanoma differentiation associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24), induces a bystander effect that kills cancer cells not directly receiving mda-7/IL-24 ...
Potential New Ways To Treat Metastatic Cancer Following Discovery Of Gene Mechanism
Published July 3, 2008, 5:16 am, Medical News Today
Virginia Commonwealth University and VCU Massey Cancer Center researchers have uncovered how a gene, melanoma differentiation associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24), induces a bystander effect that kills cancer cells not directly receiving mda-7/IL-24 without harming healthy ones, a discovery that could lead to new therapeutic strategies to fight metastatic disease.

It must be election time again. I can tell from the constant, sycophantic media coverage of Democrat candidate Barrack Hussein Obama. It is now rather obvious that the major media outlets have become the de facto propaganda machine for Leftism in general and Democrats in particular.
Discovery Could Bring New Metastatic Cancer Treatments
Published July 1, 2008, 8:22 am, Newswise
Molecular and biochemical mechanism of action of unique cytokine gene found to induce potent bystander antitumor effects in animal models and in Phase I clinical trials identified. The findings may lead researchers to develop potential novel enhanced therapies to treat various forms of cancer.
Healthy tips to filling your medical needs

Even if you're not rich or well-connected, you can find leading-edge treatment when it matters. And it could well matter if your condition is rare or if few doctors have developed expertise in treating it.
Taming, Then Aiming, Viruses At Brain Tumors - "Engineered" Viruses May Hold Promise For Cancer Treatment
Published June 28, 2008, 3:17 am, Medical News Today
It may sound like the plot of a medical drama, but this approach to fighting cancer is real. Scientists say they may someday be able to battle brain cancer, while using a virus to do it. Early results from the lab are promising. The science itself may be complex, but the idea is relatively simple; modify a common virus that will bypass healthy cells and attack tumors.
Genetically engineered viruses battle cancer
Published June 28, 2008, 1:53 am, The Monterey County Herald
WASHINGTON — Viruses aren't always the bad guys. Sure, they can cause colds, measles, AIDS and other miseries. But with some tinkering, these tiny organisms may become a new and better way to treat cancer.
