Test for single genetic fault can help tailor cancer treatment for children

Public release date: 26-Mar-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Irene Perovsek irene.perovsek@isb-sib.ch 41-788-761-129 Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics This press release is available in French and German. A study led by Dr Janet Shipley from The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) in London in collaboration with Dr Mauro Delorenzi from the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics in Lausanne has shown that a simple genetic test could help predict the aggressiveness of rhabdomyosarcoma tumours in children. The test, which should be introduced into clinical practice, would lead to changes in treatment for many patients, allowing some children to escape potentially long-term side-effects whilst giving others the intense treatments they need to increase their chances of survival Continue reading
