Potential Alternative Drug Therapies For Neuroblastoma Revealed By New Genomic Screening

Nearly two-thirds of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma - a common tumor that forms in the nerve cells of children - cannot be cured using tumor-killing cancer drugs. A study published by Cell Press in the journal Chemistry & Biology reveals a new genomic approach to screen for compounds that could inhibit tumor growth by causing cancer cells to differentiate, or convert from immature cells to more specialized cell types...
