ECC 2013: Molecular Sequencing Identifies Drug Targets for Cancers of Unknown Primary Origin
Cancers of unknown primary origin pose a treatment dilemma for oncologists and a great deal of anxiety for patients and their families. A study reported at the European Cancer Congress 2013 in Amsterdam (Abstract LBA39) shows that molecular profiling can identify targetable mutations in up to 80%...
NCCN: Practical Considerations in Selecting Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Therapy for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Although imatinib (Gleevec) is the initial therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), several second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors are now approved for the treatment of this disease. Michael Millenson, MD, of Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, reviewed practical considerations in...
