National Cancer Institute (NCI) state of the science: Targeted radiosensitizers in colorectal cancer. [PDF]
Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a major public health problem as the second leading cause of cancer‐related mortality in the United States. Of an estimated 140,000 newly diagnosed CRC cases in 2018, roughly one‐third of these patients will have a primary tumor located in the distal large bowel or rectum.

Growth in eligibility criteria content and failure to accrue among National Cancer Institute (NCI)-affiliated clinical trials. [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundCancer trial accrual is a national priority, yet up to 20% of trials fail to accrue. Trial eligibility criteria growth may be associated with accrual failure. We sought to quantify eligibility criteria growth within National Cancer Institute (NCI)‐affiliated trials and determine impact on accrual.MethodsUtilizing the Aggregated ...

National Cancer Institute (NCI) Program for Natural Products Discovery: Rapid Isolation and Identification of Biologically Active Natural Products from the NCI Prefractionated Library. [PDF]
An automated, high-capacity, and high-throughput procedure for the rapid isolation and identification of biologically active natural products from a prefractionated library is presented. The semipreparative HPLC method uses 1 mg of the primary hit fraction and produces 22 subfractions in an assay-ready format.

Cancer cell survival depends on collagen uptake into tumor-associated stroma
Collagen can be a metabolic source to fuel cancer growth. Here the authors show that cell surface protein TEM8 mediates the binding and uptake of collagen in stromal cells and these cells processed the collagen to glutamine, providing an alternative ...
