Exploiting the same pre-clinical model used for their studies, the researchers are testing the
efficacy of this kind of drug candidates
against cancer stem
cells, and the possibility of identifying combination regimens with standard chemotherapies with minimized toxic effects, with the perspective of their possible application for the treatment of human breast
cancer.
Knowing that
cancer cells have a different metabolic profile, the team surmises that this can inform when to treat
cancer — when normal
cells are quiet — to decrease toxicity, while increasing
efficacy against the always - awake
cancer cell.
According to Lise Alschuler, author of the Definitive Guide To
