  • Two news briefings [12.30 hrs CET: Wednesday 8 November & Thursday 9 November]

Topics at the news briefing or to be press-released include:

  • MEK inhibitor produces stable disease in advanced solid cancers; phase II trials started

  • Drug that interrupts a key stage of cell division shows promise in patients with solid tumours

  • New evidence that embryonic stem cell vaccinations prevent lung cancer in mice this raises the possibility of preventing a range of cancers in humans

  • Scientists discover new way to block growth of prostate cancer cells; patient trials planned

  • Remarkable results from treating kidney cancer patients before surgery with bevacizumab and erlotinib

  • Researchers identify cells that make relapse inevitable after treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia now new therapies can be designed to target these cells

  • Diptheria toxin used in new immunotherapy against melanoma in humans; promising results from phase II trial

  • Scientists design a PSA-activated drug that kills prostate cancer. It has potential for treating men with locally recurrent or advanced disease, or with benign prostatic hyperplasia phase I trial now un
