One mouse at a time: new approach to testing potential drugs for children's cancers

(European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) Researchers have developed a way of testing potential drugs for children's cancers so as to take account of the wide genetic diversity of these diseases. instead of conventional testing designs, which use multiple mice as models for rare children's cancers, analysis had revealed that it was possible to evaluate them on a single mouse, which could accelerate the development of better treatments. The research is presented at the 32th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics.
