Report of the National Cancer Institute

The report published today reports on Cancer in France:

320 000 new cases per year (550 per 100 000)
5-year survival: > 50% of
120 000 320 000 will be cured (or 37.5% of cancers)

There are three categories of cancer:

  1. Good prognosis: 42%: Prostate, breast, testis, thyroid, melanoma
  2. Intermediate: 33%: colorectal, mouth, bladder, ovary, uterus, kidney
  3. pronocstic 17% Bad: lung, liver, pancreas, esophagus and SNC
I know it is not 100%.

That's the main thing!

a bonus a little illustration of Wikipedia that I like:

CRP increased in colon cancer

Team: Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, U.S.
Review: American Association for Cancer Research

The researchers studied 338 cases of cancer and 451 healthy women, and measured blood levels of CRP, protein used as a marker of inflammation. The result is that the quartile of highest values had a 2.5 times higher risk of having cancer colon than the lowest quartile.

A marker exists for colorectal cancer, but it is not used in the diagnosis, because its specificity is not perfect, it is the ACE protein. The specificity of CRP is obviously not better because it is increased in many circumstances.

New patent for a sublingual dosage form

Company: Bionetwork de François Allaert et Patrice Binay, Dijon

Ce brevet concerne une nouvelle forme sublinguale, permettant une absorption rapide des principes actifs par la muqueuse sublinguale. Je ne suis pas parvenu à obtenir de détails techniques sur la forme. La contrainte technique actuelle portant sur l'hydrosolubilité des composés à administrer ainsi, je présume que l'innovation porte sur ce paramètre.

Avantages de l'administration par voie sublinguale :
  1. Absorption et effets rapides (ex : ttt de crise de la migraine)
  2. Pas de premier passage hépatique (absorbtion dans la veine cave supérieure, donc avantage par rapport à la voie orale et la veine gate, allowing lower doses to liver metabolism products)
  3. Better absorption (bioavailability superior in most cases, the oral even for non-hepatic metabolism)
  4. Avoidance of possible gastrointestinal toxicity
Note that the points to reduce the dose of the medication have included an environmental impact as well, decreasing the doses logically rejected in nature, and therefore the pharmaceutical pollution.

The problem that researchers are still working for an SME dijonaise associated Bionetwork, is the masking of bad taste sometimes annoying active ingredients.

Illustration: Different curves oral bioavailabilities as Tmax. In the sublingual, the curve can be likened to that of a mouth with a Tmax very low (approaching the dark blue curve)

plastic microchips for measuring biological parameters

Lab: Fraunhofer Institute, Munich (DE)

The concept on which these researchers work is simple: to manufacture microchips in plastic polymers and semi- drivers in carriers of the thickness of a sheet of paper, at affordable costs. Some lithographic methods now make it possible performance.

Thus, by placing a drop of blood on these chips, or wearing them around the arm, respectively, could quickly measure the clotting antibodies to assess the risk of thrombosis before a plane trip for example, or measure the disturbances electromagnetism for a pacemaker.
