Early symptoms of frontotemporal dementia are often confused with symptoms occurring in psychiatric disorders. Reporting their findings in Journal of Neurology, Finnish researchers from the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Oulu show that serum neurofilament levels can be used as a diagnostic tool to differentiate between these conditions. Frontotemporal dementia is the […]

New Evolution-busting Drug Overcomes Resistance in Aggressive Breast Cancers

A new type of drug that blocks one of cancer’s key evolutionary escape routes from chemotherapy could be used to treat aggressive breast cancers, a new study has shown. Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, found that the drug could reinvigorate the response to chemotherapy in cancers that had become resistant, in both […]

Gut Bacteria “Fingerprint” Predicts Radiotherapy Side Effects

· First clinical study to show link between types of gut bacteria and radiotherapy-induced gut damage · Studying patients’ bacterial fingerprint could help predict, prevent or treat gut damage following radiotherapy Taking a ‘fingerprint’ of the mix of bacteria in the gut can indicate how susceptible individual cancer patients are to gut damage as a […]
