Working with colleagues in Hungary and University of Cambridge, the team led by Dr Korcsmáros used databases of genes known to be involved in cancer, or that show major differences between healthy and diseased tissues, along with other resources detailing protein interactions in the cell, to create computational models of the protein networks
in different types of cancer cells.
When they analyzed how well this pattern matches mutations
found in different types of cancer, gastric carcinoma — or stomach cancer — was the one that looked most similar.
The anticancer effect of vitamin
C in different types of cancer cells has been observed since the 1970s and is believed to involve a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen peroxide, which may terminate cancer cells.
If the finding that resident memory T cells are the most potent mediators of immunity holds up
in different types of cancer, which I think it will, you could take a biopsy of the lung or the pancreas, for example, to see if there are resident T cells there.
