Cancer in sentence

2021 examples of Cancer in a sentence

I hypothesized that cancer cells are able to communicate with each other and coordinate their movement, based on how closely packed they are in the tumor microenvironment.

After years of conducting experiments together and merging different ideas and perspectives, we discovered a new signaling pathway that controls how cancer cells communicate with each other and move, based on their cell density.

We then decided that we wanted to block this signaling pathway and see if we could slow down the spread of cancer.

We came up with a drug cocktail consisting of tocilizumab, which is currently used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, and reparixin, which is currently in clinical trials against breast cancer.

This was a significant finding, because currently, there aren't any FDA-approved therapeutics that directly target the spread of cancer.

In fact, the spread of cancer, metastasis, is thought of as a byproduct of tumor growth.

My work shows that even cancer cells use collaboration to invade our bodies and spread their wrath.

Collaboration is the superpower that I turn to, to help me fight cancer.

Researchers recently have looked at the question of biopsies, cancerous biopsies, and they've asked the computer to identify by looking at the data and survival rates to determine whether cells are actually cancerous or not, and sure enough, when you throw the data at it, through a machine-learning algorithm, the machine was able to identify the 12 telltale signs that best predict that this biopsy of the breast cancer cells are indeed cancerous.

Think about a lab technician who is looking through a microscope at a cancer biopsy and determining whether it's cancerous or not.

And she wrote about her life dealing with cancer.

It was stage 3 lung cancer.

One out of three people sitting in this audience will be diagnosed with some type of cancer, and one out of four will die because of it.

Not only did that cancer diagnosis change the life of our family, but that process of going back and forth with new tests, different doctors describing symptoms, discarding diseases over and over, was stressful and frustrating, especially for my aunt.

And that is the way cancer diagnosis has been done since the beginning of history.

We have 21st-century medical treatments and drugs to treat cancer, but we still have 20th-century procedures and processes for diagnosis, if any.

Today, the majority of people still don't have access to early cancer detection methods, even though we know that catching cancer early is basically the closest thing we have to a silver bullet cure against it.

We know that we can change this in our lifetime, and that is why my team and I have decided to begin this journey, this journey to try to make cancer detection at the early stages and monitoring the appropriate response at the molecular level easier, cheaper, smarter and more accessible than ever before.

We are a team of scientists and technologists from Chile, Panama, Mexico, Israel and Greece, and based on recent scientific discoveries, we believe that we have found a reliable and accurate way of detecting several types of cancer at the very early stages through a blood sample.

To explain what microRNAs are and their important role in cancer, I need to start with proteins, because when cancer is present in our body, protein modification is observed in all cancerous cells.

And that is what makes microRNAs such a promising biomarker for cancer, because as you know, cancer is a disease of altered gene expression.

Several scientific studies have shown that abnormal microRNA expression levels varies and creates a unique, specific pattern for each type of cancer, even at the early stages, reflecting the progression of the disease, and whether it's responding to medication or in remission, making microRNAs a perfect, highly sensitive biomarker.

Then, if we take this specific pattern of microRNA of this person's samples and compare it with existing scientific documentation that correlates microRNA patterns with a specific presence of a disease, this is how pancreatic cancer looks like.

This inside is a real sample where we just detected pancreatic cancer.

If we want to better understand and decode diseases like cancer, we need to stop treating them as acute, isolated episodes, and consider and measure everything that affects our health on a permanent basis.

Since we believe early cancer detection should really be democratized, this entire solution costs at least 50 times less than current available methods, and we know that the community can help us accelerate this even more, so we're making the design of the device open-source.

Let me say very clearly that we are at the very early stages, but so far, we have been able to successfully identify the microRNA pattern of pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and hepatic cancer.

And currently, we're doing a clinical trial in collaboration with the German Cancer Research Center with 200 women for breast cancer.

This is the single non-invasive, accurate and affordable test that has the potential to dramatically change how cancer procedures and diagnostics have been done.

Since we're looking for the microRNA patterns in your blood at any given time, you don't need to know which cancer you're looking for.
