Moffitt researchers identify how cancer cells adapt to survive harsh tumor microenvironments
(H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center& Research Institute) To better understand the conditions that select for the Warburg Effect and the mechanisms where cells can express this metabolic adaptation, Moffitt researchers subjected nonmalignant cells to the harsh tumor microenvironment that is present during early carcinogenesis, known as ductal carcinoma in situ. In a new research article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Moffitt team shows that these conditions select for cells to express a Warburg Effect.

Treating DCIS with surgery and radiotherapy lowers cancer risk but benefits drop over time
(European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) A major study of women with DCIS - a breast condition that can become invasive cancer - has shown that surgery to remove the tissue followed by radiotherapy offers better protection compared to surgery alone. The study, presented at the 12th European Breast Cancer Conference, followed patients for up to 27 years. Although it shows that the benefit of radiotherapy and surgery over surgery alone persists, it also suggests that this benefit reduces over time. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
