The
Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) is leading a global team of
specialists at the major research study which generally aims to forecast
colorectal cancer patients' reaction to the 'angiogenesis inhibitor' section of
anti-cancer drug which generally prevents development of tumour blood vessels.
The research will facilitate a more interested therapeutic approach and hence
limiting negative effects in affected individuals.
The
scientists have secured nearly €6 million in competitive non-exchequer deposit
for "AngioPredict" project, which is certainly sustained by the
European Commission's Seventh Framework 'Health' Programme (FP7).
The
project would focus on affected individuals with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Nowadays, an important therapy for these affected individuals is the
'angiogenesis inhibitor' drug Avastin, which generally inhibits tumour blood
vessel formulation therefore prevents tumour development.
This
research project can examine methods to predict the way in which an affected
person will get back to Avastin, by identifying 'biomarkers' that happen to be
found in the patient's tumour tissue or blood and improving tests to identify
these biomarkers. The ability to predict the way in which a patient will
respond to this drug would stop unnecessary therapy, save important time in
affected person care and strengthen standard living.
