Medical Students Publish Cancer Treatment Commentary
As seen in Inside Precision Medicine, NYITCOM students working in the laboratory of cancer biologist Dong Zhang, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical sciences, call for more effective, less toxic cancer treatments. In Zhang's laboratory, the researchers are investigating treatments to target alternative lengthening of telomere (ALT) cancers. While these cancers account for only an estimated 10 to 15 percent of cancer cases, they include some of the deadliest cancers, including glioblastoma, osteosarcoma, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. While many cancer treatments work by targeting telomerase, an enzyme that allows for cancer cell reproduction, ALT cancers lack this enzyme and are, therefore, more challenging to treat. The only current treatment option is chemotherapy, which is known to injure healthy cells and cause unpleasant side effects. Now, the NYITCOM researchers call for a targeted, less toxic form of therapy (ALT inhibitors) and discuss the biomarkers for diagnosing ALT-positive cancers in the clinic. Student authors include Manrose Singh, Danny MacKenzie, Sanket Desai, and Noelle Batista.
