The combination of the two drugs reduces the HER2-positive breast cancer in 11 days

The Scientists from the Institute of cancer research, (London) the University of Manchester and the University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust, has found an interesting revelation about breast cancer. Their exhaustive research on a group of women who suffer from malignant tumors of breast cancer found that a combination of two drugs on lapatinib and trastuzumab (Herceptin) can effectively shrink tumors HER2 cancer affected women in 11 days. The result is a pretty compelling and drew attention to the world.

The test was applied to EPHOS (B) 256 women suffering from HER2-positive breast cancer. Then the women were in the phase between initial diagnosis and surgery to remove the tumors. With 256 women were divided into three groups. They were being treated for 11 days before their operation. Initially, the products are administered to patients in a random manner. So while some were given lapatinib, trastuzumab some were given, some got a combination of both, and others were given no treatment at all.

Half way between the test sessions, patients taking a combination of the both drugs began to appear more responsive. It has been observed that 17 percent of the women taking both drugs had only minimal residual disease. Is defined as the invasive tumor, which is usually less than 5 mm in size. 11% had a pathological complete response which means that no biological mark of the invasive tumor can be found in the breast.

The trial Co-leader Professor Judith Bliss, Director of the Cancer Research UK-funded clinical trials and the statistics unit in ICR, said! our trial set, to try to use the window between diagnosis and surgery to find traces of that combined treatment with trastuzumab 'em and lapatinib, have a biological effect on HER2 positive tumors. So it was unexpected to see quite such a dramatic response to trastuzumab and lapatinib in 11 days.

Our results are a strong foundation on which you can build additional studies of the combined anti-HER2 therapy before surgery which could reduce the number of women that require subsequent chemotherapy, which is also very effective, but can lead to long-term side effects.

Over 40M people of Irish descent are in the United States, 8x more than the population of Ireland

The Irish people (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are a nation and ethnic group native to the island of Ireland, who share a common Irish ancestry, identity and culture. Ireland has been inhabited for about 9,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland). For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people (see Gaelic Ireland). Anglo-Normans conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th century (re)conquest and colonization of Ireland brought a large number of English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island, especially the north. Today, Ireland is made up of the Republic of Ireland (an independent state), and the smaller Northern Ireland (a part of the United Kingdom). The people of Northern Ireland hold various national identities; including Irish, Northern Irish, British, or some combination thereof. The Irish have their own customs, language, music, dance, sports, cuisine,...

The inclusion of crimes against Muslims in the United Kingdom

Crimes against Muslims in the United Kingdom next month will be counted as a class separate crime data. The goal is to know how many Muslims have been targeted on the basis of their religion. People who belong to other religions, for the first time in this sense to be calculated to be addressed. This decision is supported by Muslim groups who consider that there is little public information about this kind of incident. Take the case of a woman who went into a coffee a few months ago. With his friends from the University, she could eat a good meal, but it turned out to be a nightmare for the Muslim girl from Blackburn. They say that a woman who sat near bad words for them. Why not identity is that women do not indicate that it was because he wore a scarf. That was poor immigrants in a high voice, which gave me and my friends and poor immigrants were using bad words, he said. It was very scary. He said that the most surprising thing is that police not recorded the incident in the categor...
