The Clearity Foundation, a site dedicated to ovarian cancer research, has reported on a new finding for treating drug resistance in women with BRCA mutations.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered several parallel genes that cause resistance to PARP inhibitors for these women.
PARP inhibitors have been shown to be effective initially but then lose their effectiveness. By targeting these parallel genes, researchers have found a way to make these tumor cells respond to PARP inhibitors again. To read more about this, follow this link.
In October 2012, a dream was realized for two dynamic ovarian cancer survivors: Anne Tonachel and Robin Bray. Their dream was to provide a restorative retreat for other ovarian cancer survivors in the northeast. When the amazing Kennedy family of Camp Kieve and The Kennedy Learning Center provided the retreat space (in honor of a family member with ovarian cancer), this restorative retreat was born.
