Cancer Cytogenetics: Methodology Revisited
The Philadelphia chromosome was the first genetic abnormality discovered in cancer (in 1960), and it was found to be consistently associated with CML. The description of the Philadelphia chromosome ushered in a new era in the field of cancer cytogenetics. Accumulating genetic data have been shown to be intimately associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of neoplasms; thus, karyotyping is now...
متن کاملFragile X/Cancer Cytogenetics
To begin with, Human Pharmacology is a moderately priced book that makes no pretense to be as encyclopedic as Goodman and Gilman. One of the main advantages of the book is its consistency of presentation. Each chapter is presented in five sections: (1) therapeutic overview; (2) mechanisms of action; (3) pharmacokinetics; (4) relation of mechanisms of action to clinical response; and (5) side ef...
متن کاملCytogenetics, gene fusions, and cancer.
Cytogeneticists recognize that karyotypic abnormalities are associated with specific malignancies. In 1960, Nowell described the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) and its relationship to chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Subsequent work in molecular genetics and biology has revealed that the Ph is a translocation that causes fusion of gene sites that code for the break cluster region (BCR) and the...
متن کاملClinicians’ Expectations for Gene-Driven Cancer Therapy
A new era of medicine is rapidly approaching, which will change not only pathological diagnosis but also medical decision-making. This paper raises the question of how well prepared doctors are to address the new issues that will soon confront them. The human genome has been completely sequenced and general understanding about cancer biology has increased enormously with understanding that unre...

Conventional Cancer Treatment Alone Is Not Working According to the Center for Disease Control in the USA, the age-adjusted mortality rate in the USA for cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular diseases dropped dramatically between 1950 and 2005 while that for cancer dropped only slightly (See Figure 1, p.170). !is implies that the treatment methods for cancer have not been very e"ective dur...
