One of the interesting things about scientific conferences such as AACR and ASCO is that everyone looks at the same data differently as if it were through a kaleidoscope. Brand marketers focus on their competition by tumour type or disease, scientists look at specific mechanisms or pathways, investors look at particular companies and so on. Someone asked me the other day how I analyse the data. I hadn’t really thought about it much until then, but on reflection what I’m interested in is trends and how research evolves from a big picture science view so that means I look at pathways like a true biochemist. This also teaches us where the gaps are and what opportunities may arise in the future. It’s not exactly rocket science, but it is a useful approach sometimes. Image via Wikipedia One of the clear trends emerging at AACR the other week is that dual inhibition of both the PI3K-mTOR and RAS-ERK pathways may be necessary in some cancers such as melanoma to reduce cross-talk, feedback and feedforward loops, drug resistance and loss of PTEN gain of function, just as one might also target IGF-1R and EGFR to reduce cross-talk and add in another inhibitor, eg MEK or AKT

In a recent study, it was found that eating at least 67 grams of nuts daily helps reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as improves the HDL-LDL ratio. Not only does this help to improve one’s cholesterol profile but it also helps to reduce the risk of heart attack. It was also found that the benefits of nuts were greatest for those with already high cholesterol levels, those who had unhealthy diets and those who were thin.

The other day I clicked on a link someone shared on Twitter about new findings in breast cancer genes, which sounded really cool and interesting. On clicking through it turned out to be a rather disappointing Reuters release on several fronts: Where’s the link to the original article (in these days of social sharing leaving it out is plain lazy)? What/where are the ” five common genetic factors” exactly? No mention is made of them

It’s only 3 weeks to go to the Annual ASCO meeting in Chicago so I thought it would be a good time to kick off the annual preview of key data. One of the things that sets the tone of the meeting is which abstracts are in the plenary session. Sometimes I don’t attend the session if it looks arcane, but this year looks really interesting and worthwhile attending. The selected abstracts comprise the following: #LBA1: Phase III trial of bevacizumab (BEV) in the primary treatment of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), primary peritoneal cancer (PPC), or Fallopian tube cancer (FTC): A Gynecologic Oncology Group study.

By Walter McKibbin Derived from the Taiji symbol which, in the Western areas is known as the yin and yang, Tai Chi was said to be the practice that preserved the oldest schools of learning which study the receptive and active principles. The core training of Tai Chi features two forms: the solo form and the Push Hands. In solo form, slow motions are given emphasis while maintaining a straight and firm spine and constant fine abdominal breathing.
