Controlling cancer instead of killing it! The Sept 15th issue of The New Yorker has a wonderful article in the Medical Dispatch section that once again shows the progress we are making in the fight against cancer, and highlights the value of medical innovation! As the writer explains, There are many kinds of cancer, but treatments have typically combatted them in one way only: by attempting to destroy the cancerous cells... (a new drug from a company called “Agios”), instead of killing the leukemic cells... coaxes them into maturing into functioning blood cells. Cancerous cells traditionally have been viewed as a lost cause, fit only for destruction. The emerging research on A.M.L. suggests that at least some cancer cells might be redeemable. This is exciting news for all cancer patients. Yet another tool in the toolbox to defeat cancer! tinyurl/q8pajvj
