Researchers found that feeding ginger to mice before and after tumor injection slowed tumor growth, with 12 out of 20 mice still alive at the 49th day. The study suggests that ginger compounds may have chemopreventive and/or chemotherapeutic effects on colorectal carcinomas.
A new treatment combination, FOLFOX4, has been shown to delay time-to-tumor progression and provide relief from tumor-related symptoms in patients with progressive metastatic colorectal cancer. The therapy offers an important option for those without other treatment options.
Researchers found that genetic imbalances on chromosomes 8 and 18 were better predictors of colorectal cancer prognosis than conventional assessments. The study used a new approach to investigate chromosome imbalances in early-stage cancers, with patients experiencing varying disease-free survival rates based on their tumour balance.
