Clinical Trials
We are pleased to provide you with a summary of some of the most exciting work we are currently pursuing that we closer to better treatments for cancer:
NEW CLINICAL STUDY
Dean Felsher and Alice Fan are spearheading a new clinical study to interrogate the potential therapeutic role of statins, drugs used to treat high cholesterol, for the treatment of lymphoma. If you are interested in participating in this study please contact either:
Alice Fan MD, Co-investigator at 650-736-8655/ afan@stanford.edu
Richa Rajwanshi MD, Study Coordinator at 650-736-8655/ richar@stanford.edu
ANGIOGENESIS AND TARGETED THERAPIES
The Felsher laboratory has recently made a surprising observation that the inactivation of a cancer gene results in the regression of tumors in part by shutting off production of blood vessels that the tumor uses to feed itself (angiogenesis). These results appeared in a manuscript recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
NANODIAGNOSTICS
Dr. Alice Fan has been working with Cell Biosciences to develop a powerful new approach for the diagnosis of cancer. Our results were recently highlighted in the press release at the American Society of Cell Biology Meeting.
Taking the measure of mouse and human to identify oncoproteins through nano-fluidic capillaries.
