In addition to genetic differences
between lung cancer tumors in people who smoke or have smoked versus those who never have, researchers are also finding genetic differences in the people themselves.
«Our findings indicate the existence of long - distance interactions
between lung tumors and bones:
lung tumors remotely activate osteoblasts, and those bone cells, in turn, shape immunity by supplying
tumors with
cancer - promoting neutrophils,» says Pittet, who is an associate professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School.
Cancer Institute research highlights include innovative studies to develop individualized approaches for treatment and prevention of lung cancer; collaboration between medical and materials science researchers to develop treatments for various types of leukemia using nanotechnology to target only cancer cells; and development of novel therapeutics to treat metastatic melanoma using an approach that regulates the processes leading to tumor develo
