(Cell Press) A drug that is already clinically available for the treatment of nausea and psychosis, called prochlorperazine (PCZ), inhibits the internalization of receptors on the surface of tumor cells, thereby increasing the ability of anticancer antibodies to bind to the receptors and mount more effective immune responses. The work appears March 5 in the journal Cell. (Source: EurekAlert! - Cancer)

(City of Hope) A $12 million federal grant enabled City of Hope and collaborators to deploy a novel cloud-computing platform, making an immense amount of data from a historic 25-year study more accessible and user-friendly. The ongoing California Teachers Study that first began in 1995 has already given researchers a bevy of data on how to prevent or treat cancers, heart conditions and Alzheimer's disease. In the past, this data was available only to a select few researchers. (Source: EurekAlert!...

Abstract Purpose Identification of suspicious PSMA-PET/CT-positive lymph node (LN) metastases (LNM) from prostate cancer (PCa) during lymphadenectomy (LA) is challenging. We evaluated an 111In-labelled PSMA ligand (DKFZ-617, referred to as [111In]PSMA-617) as a γ-emitting tracer for intraoperative γ-probe application for resected tissue samples in PCa patients. Forty-eight hours prior to LA, [111In]PSMA-617 was administered intravenously...

Abstract Background The positron emission tomography (PET) ligand 68Ga-Glu-urea-Lys(Ahx)-HBED-CC (68Ga-PSMA-11) targets the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), upregulated in prostate cancer cells. Although 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET is widely used in research and clinical practice, full kinetic modeling has not yet been reported nor have simplified methods for quantification been validated. The aims of our study were to quantify...
