Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / August 2007New algorithm matches any tumor cells to best possible anti-cancer treatments
Cancer patients don't have time to waste. Many go through several different treatments, however, to find one that is more effective against their particular type of tumor. http://theanalystmagazine.com/pr/n999.html Thus, an algorithm that could help rapidly sort molecular information about a patient's particular tumor and could help match this information to the right drug treatment would be a breakthrough of enormous value. Here is a proposal from some researchers. >Thus, an algorithm that could help rapidly sort molecular information >about a patient's particular tumor and could help match this >information to the right drug treatment would be a breakthrough of >enormous value.

I could write a book about why you should be skeptical, but I'll just say that the basic genome math was completed in 2000 and the Folding @ Home project has been working on applications since then and people with RA, MS, cancer etc. haven't see many of the specialized medications that could be being made. http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=teampage&teamnum=7 http://biology.plosjournals.org/perlserv?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journa l.pbio.0000082 http://www.sanger.ac.uk/PostGenomics/epigenome/ It sure looks like there is more profit in looking for cures, for the current corporate medical community, than there is in using the information they have.

GrampaHugs, Alex, ok, now i'm confused, or totally lost. why wouldn't creating an algorithm that matches current drugs/treatments to specific, correspondingly susceptible, cancer tumors be a useful tool for any oncologist? when i looked at the epigenomic sites, it seemed to make even more sense to me that it would be useful, considering all the variables. i tend to be more than sceptical about our "current corporate medical community" even wanting to find cures--(and less sceptical about) vs. their wanting to find longterm treatments, which would generate more profits in the long run. kate -- Any information is included for informational or entertainment purposes only, is based on my personal experiences & is an expression of my opinion. **************************************************** * Love radiating from 45.10n x 93.30w M/SP Mn * http://home.comcast.net/~apbarna/ * http://goldenmist.org/ahr_faq/index.html * http://goldenmist.org/grampahugs/ * http://goldenmist.org/ **************************************************** > wrote: >> On 8/15/07 2:11 AM, in article [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > correspondingly susceptible, cancer tumors be a useful tool for any > oncologist? I'm sure an algorithm or even a searchable database would be helpful. but there isn't one in use or many oncologist don't know about it even though the information has been available for years. Over the past 20 years how many times have they talked about new breakthrough cancer treatments on the national news but that treatment is never heard about again. > when i looked at the epigenomic sites, it seemed to make even more > sense to me that it would be useful, considering all the variables.

I'm a lot more than skeptical, I get angery at the apathy of the "current corporate medical community" when I think where is that treatment that was talked about years ago. > kate GrampaHugs, Alex, -- Any information is included for informational or entertainment purposes only, is based on my personal experiences & is an expression of my opinion. **************************************************** * Love radiating from 45.10n x 93.30w M/SP Mn * http://home.comcast.net/~apbarna/ * http://goldenmist.org/ahr_faq/index.html * http://goldenmist.org/grampahugs/ * http://goldenmist.org/ **************************************************** d'huit wrote: > "Alex B.," <apbarna@comcast.net> wrote in message > news:gNOdnein26BYw17bnZ2dneKdnZydnZ2d@comcast.com...

I'm sure an algorithm or even a searchable database would be helpful. but there isn't one in use or many oncologist don't know about it even though the information has been available for years. ***y'know, when you consider the scientific mentality, the almost compulsive data/record keeping, my sense is that there simply must be a database somewhere. but too, so many "new" discoveries have been retrieved from very old and dusty archived data that has been applied to new research. Over the past 20 years how many times have they talked about new breakthrough cancer treatments on the national news but that treatment is never heard about again. ***boy, i hear that. it's also true of wonderful patents (like carburetors that run on water), have never seen the marketplace. > when i looked at the epigenomic sites, it seemed to make even more > sense to me that it would be useful, considering all the variables. It would be if we could be sure that we would ever benefit from it. ***a friend once mentioned to me, and i'm truncating what she said about something specific and applying it a bit more broadly---some things can be more about the advancement of medicine itself than about the patients who are supposed to benefit from the advances in medicine. > i tend to be more than sceptical about our "current corporate medical > community" even wanting to find cures--(and less sceptical about) > vs. their wanting to find longterm treatments, which would generate > more profits in the long run. I'm a lot more than skeptical, I get angery at the apathy of the "current corporate medical community" when I think where is that treatment that was talked about years ago. ***i tend to think the "current corporate medical community" is not as apathetic about their bottomlines, as they are about cures. and that makes me angry. > kate GrampaHugs, Alex, -- Any information is included for informational or entertainment purposes only, is based on my personal experiences & is an expression of my opinion. **************************************************** * Love radiating from 45.10n x 93.30w M/SP Mn * http://home.comcast.net/~apbarna/ * http://goldenmist.org/ahr_faq/index.html * http://goldenmist.org/grampahugs/ * http://goldenmist.org/ **************************************************** |
