M.D. Anderson Gives the World a Christmas Gift!

Hooray! Go Houston!

Once again leading the nation in medical breakthru's. I'm supprised that this story is getting such little coverage. It's a major advancement.

"Scientists have identified two proteins in patients with ovarian cancer that, when prevalent, dramatically increase their chance for survival.
Led by researchers at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the discovery marks a significant advance for an emerging area of basic science called RNA interference, which one day may transform medicine.
After studying nearly 250 ovarian cancer patients, scientists found that women with high levels of two proteins called Dicer and Drosha in their tumor cells had a median survival of 11 years. Patients with low levels of the two proteins — about 40 percent of those studied — had a median survival of less than three years."

HOUSTON—(Oct. 02, 2006)—On a recent Thursday, Thomas Walker picked up a Houston Chronicle and read an article that would change his life.

Reveille, M.D., (right) professor and director of the Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunogenetics at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, and senior research assistant Laura Diekman, work with Thomas Walker (left) during a recent appointment at the University Clinical Research Center. Walker is enrolled in a clinical trial that is studying the effectiveness of a medication for ankylosing spondylitis.

John D. Reveille, M.D., professor and director of the Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunogenetics at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, was recruiting patients with ankylosing spondylitis to participate in a clinical trial.
Walker, 66, was intrigued by the news. He had been living with the arthritic condition since the mid-1970s, and he was willing to test a medication that may loosen his stiff joints and alleviate pain in his spine and shoulders.

He quickly called the telephone number listed in the newspaper article. It led him to the University Clinical Research Center, or UCRC, where he became one of thousands of patients to enroll in trials that help shape the future of medicine.
