1. Research linking Ashkenazi Jews and breast cancer genes beset by problems
   11-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Genetic research over the past decade has linked Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity to an increased risk for hereditary breast cancer, so much so that certain gene mutations have become known as "Jewish ancestral mutations." But a new study released in the November 2006 issue of the American Journal of Public Health challenges this population-based approach, warning that disparities in access to care and other unintended consequences for specific ethic groups can result, and may have already occurred.

5. Computer tool helps pinpoint risky gene mutations
   02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Certain cancer risks can be passed down through families, the result of tiny changes in a family's genetic code. But not all genetic changes are deadly. To help medical counselors and physicians identify the mutations that pose the greatest health risks, researchers have developed and validated a new computer tool.

9. Aggressive therapy best for certain AML patients
   08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study suggests that acute leukemia patients whose cancer cells show a genetic change that usually predicts a swift return of the disease following remission may remain disease-free longer when given aggressive therapy. The findings apply to people with acute myeloid leukemia whose cancer cells have normal-looking chromosomes and a gene mutation called MLL-PTD.

10. A fresh look at existing therapies: Researchers explore ways to teach approved drugs new tricks
    10-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Although all cancers are not alike, most share common causes, whether it is the result of a genetic mutation or faulty biochemical signaling pathway. For that reason, drugs developed specifically for one disease might have an impact on many others. Increasingly, researchers are discovering ways of combining new and existing drugs to fight cancer -- broadening the targets of already-approved targeted therapeutics.
