Crimson Publishers- Novel Approaches in Cancer Study

Cancer and Wounds are Similar © by Andrew Hague in Journal of Cancer Research   Crimson Publishers_   Novel Approaches in Cancer Study Where you Feel ill and Meet the Phantom Head Go into a room at Bradford University and you soon feel ill. It is not the quietness because you can hear Professor Shepherd explaining that this is where they calibrate their electronic measuring instruments. Nor is it the gloom (Figure 1). There is enough light to see where to walk and the grey, pointed, plastic pyramids lining the roof, walls and floor are obvious enough to make this no ordinary place. Have you a headache? Are you loosing balance, or do you just want to be sick? You go out into the electronics laboratory of the engineering department and look down from this 1960s tower block on the city that used to be the centre of the world’s woollen industry. There is plenty of light through the big windows. Familiar sounds can be heard. The headache is going, and you wonder what hit you....

  Yi Lu | The Role of MicroRNAs in the Progression, Prognostication, and Treatment of Breast Cancer Abstract   MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are conserved, small, non-coding RNA molecules, which recently have attracted enormous attention in numerous physiological and pathological conditions. Several studies have shed light on their biogenesis, regulatory mechanisms, and role as effective therapies in diseased conditions. Of interest, miRNA deregulation in numerous cancer types has been researched as potential diagnostic and prognostic tool. Breast cancer (BCa) is the most predominant tumor in women and the main cause of death. Despite advances in diagnosis and new treatments, the death toll from this disease is still higher than many other types of cancer in men and women. A major global health issue plaguing the health and clinical research industry is resistance to BCa treatments. A lot of attention is increasingly directed towards miRNAs as a potential predictor’s response to trea...

Is it all in the Wrist? The Potential of Activity Trackers to Rise Physical Activity in Cancer Survivors by Luis Felipe Ribeiro Pinto in Journal of Cancer Research   Crimson Publishers_   Novel Approaches in Cancer Study   A growing body of evidence suggests that higher levels of physical activity are inversely associated with treatment side-effects and mortality in cancer survivors. Conversely, a limited percentage of cancer patients achieve physical activity goals and fitness compared with age-matched peers or other chronic medical conditions. In the last years, the next generation of activity trackers has integrated several parameters of physical fitness and mobility measurements. These multi-task devices go beyond objective physical activity measurements. Due to its functioning based on integrated platforms, clinicians may experience a unique opportunity to incorporate more active behaviors into their patients’ lives. This mini-review will discuss the advantages, ch...
