A blood test so sensitive that it can spot a single cancer cell lurking among a billion healthy ones is moving one step closer to being available at your doctor's office.
Boston scientists who invented the test and health care giant Johnson & Johnson announced Monday that they are joining forces to bring it to market. Four big cancer centers also will start studies using the experimental test this year.
Since co-founding Stand Up To Cancer in 2008, and because of my own bouts with the disease, I have spent many nights reading informative articles on things like translational research, immunotherapy, and gene pathways. For all those heady scientific journals on possibilities, it's the personal stories, like Chicago Tribune reporter Duaa Eldeib's moving portrait of Nick Schmidt and Bahar Mallah that are the loudest drumbeat, in the war against cancer.
Considering that he’s the director of the federal agency that invests more than $30 billion in medical research each year, it may not be surprising that Dr. Francis Collins was on the Sony lot in Culver City, Calif., earlier this month for the telecast of “Stand Up to Cancer,” a star-studded gala that aired live on more than a dozen TV networks and garnered more than $80 million in pledges to fund cancer research.
The SU2C Innovative Research Grants are an effort to support the next generation of extraordinary leaders in their quest to conquer cancer. These grants will provide substantial funding to scientists whose novel, high-risk, high-reward cancer research proposals have significant potential for translational application, and hold great promise for advancing SU2C's overarching goal of improving and saving the lives of patients.
LOS ANGELES—A look at some of the statistics culled from the Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C) Sept. 10 broadcast may seem to indicate that the fundraising and cancer awareness effort fell somewhat short of its original milestones two years before: The 2010 show announced that $80 million had been pledged, whereas in 2008 the number was approximately $100 million.
Katie Couric talks with SU2C founding member Sherry Lansing, oncologist Dr. Charles Sawyers and survivor Ethan Zohn about the telethon, the work scientists have accomplished since 2008, and how you can help.
