Heart failure linked with worse survival than common cancers: Study
Washington D.C. [USA], May 4 (ANI): Despite advancement in the treatment of heart failure, a new analysis finds men and women with a diagnosis of it, continue to have worse survival rates than patients with certain common cancers. The study included 56,658 adults in Scotland who were receiving care in a primary care setting, with a total of 147,938 person-years of follow-up. In men, heart failure was linked with worse survival than prostate cancer and bladder cancer, but better survival than lung cancer and colorectal cancer. In women, heart failure was linked with worse survival than breast cancer and colorectal cancer, but better survival than lung cancer and ovarian cancer. "Our study shows that despite advances in the treatment of heart failure with newer drugs and devices, mortality rates for patients with heart failure remain significant and a major public health problem. Heart failure remains as malignant as many of the common cancers," said Dr. Mamas Mamas, lead author of the European Journal of Heart Failure study. (ANI)

Single protein rewires leukemia cells to fuel their growth: Study

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centre have identified a single protein, IGF2BP3, that links these two processes together in leukaemia cells. The protein alters how cells break down sugar, favouring a fast but inefficient energy pathway, while also modifying RNA that helps produce the proteins leukaemia cells need to survive and multiply.
