...radical though still experimental technique may someday help treat brain cancer. Doctors have used genetic engineering to make tumor cells sensitive to the antiviral drug ganciclovir. When they subsequently administered the drug to patients, five out of seven improved. More extensive tests are in the works...
After Marley died of a brain tumor in 1981 at 36, a new generation of Trenchtown youths began to forge a harder, denser style of reggae called dancehall. Reflecting the desperate times in Kingston's ghettos, dancehall lyrics were charged with angry diatribes glorifying guns, drugs and sex, and sung often in a fast, talky style called "toasting." On Minute to Pray, Mad Cobra warns, "Original bad boy have no mercy/ Original bad boy run the country/ Them get a minute to pray and a second to die . . . We no miss the target...
...Arlen Specter, having recently returned from his native Pennsylvania after surgery to remove a benign brain tumor, has, one hopes, had the fear of God struck into...
...reported last week by New Jersey-based Bristol-Myers Squibb in the journal Science were unusually promising, and they may give new momentum to this line of research. The monoclonal antibodies used against cancer are proteins designed to latch on to a specific molecule on the surface of a tumor cell, while leaving normal cells untouched. In Bristol-Myers Squibb's experiment, the antibody was linked with the common anticancer drug doxorubicin, and unlike many previous preparations, this combination enabled the drug to enter tumor cells, killing them from the inside...
...combination of the antibody, acting as a guidance system that homes in on tumor cells, and doxorubicin, as the lethal payload, knocked out many kinds of advanced cancer in mice, including colon, lung and breast tumors that had spread to other organs. In earlier animal experiments, researchers were able to cure only those cancers that had not been growing very long or that had not metastasized. "One of the problems that have held back the field for a long time is that we were never sure that well-established solid tumors could be eliminated," says Dr. David Scheinberg, chief...
