Cancer Headlines SANTA CLARA, Calif. & BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2005-- GeneChip(R) Microarray Technology Used to Identify and Measure Genetic Information Associated with Leukemia, Brain Tumors and Other Solid Tumors. Affymetrix Inc. (Nasdaq:AFFX) and the CureSearch Children's Oncology Group (COG) announced today that they have entered into a collaboration to discover and validate gene expression signatures, or genetic fingerprints, for a number of common childhood cancers, including leukemia and sarcoma, a common solid tumor. The two organizations will work together using Affymetrix' GeneChip(R) microarray technology and COG's existing databank of more than 20,000 tumor samples. "This translational medicine agreement will create a synergistic opportunity for COG as a clinical trials organization, the NCI as its sponsor, and industry to identify and validate potentially drugable molecular targets for pediatric cancers in a more efficient and effective manner than any one of us might accomplish alone," said Gregory Reaman, chair of COG.

Preventing Cancer with Green Tea?We are constantly hearing ideas and claims of what we should eat to keep us from getting cancer. There is always new research somewhere showing how eating this or that will help us and potentially protect our bodies from getting cancer. Some of the studies are valid, some are not; some of the research shows that it cannot completely prevent it, simply reduce our chances by this percentage or that percentage providing we are male or female, black or white, old or young, etc. Well few of these things are as good as green tea researchers say, of course the Chinese have been saying it for 10,000 years. A brand new research now shows that the phytochemicals in green tea are absolutely incredible. Something that the Asian cultures have known throughout their history, in fact it is quite well known that green tea is known to prevent many forms of cancer such as; Leukemia, Pancreatic cancer, Colon cancer, Lung cancer and Breast cancer. Some say that if green tea was a medicine or drug it would be considered more of a wonder drug than most other cancer drugs. Green tea is considered by many to be a powerful herb, which would be wise to incorporate into your diet. There are presently no known side effects for green tea, yet it appears to be one of the most incredible anti-cancer compounds around. Think on this.
