One night after eating dinner, I was lying in bed, trying to fall asleep, when a started to get intense stomach pains. It was my first time experiencing this and was quite painful that I started crying. Then I rushed to the bathroom and felt all better afterwards; no more pains. My first thought was that I had some weird illness that was affecting my insides. Later on, I realized that it was a food problem when a started …

The Importance of Breast Cancer Research and the Work of Dr. Shom Goel
Bakes for Breast Cancer 2017 will support the research of Dr. Shom Goel

Dr Shom Goel is one such person – a breast cancer oncologist at the Dana-Farber who divides his time between the laboratory bench and the patient’s bedside. This year, we will be funding Dr. Goel and his research that addresses the important question – “Why are some breast cancers resistant to the …
Potential New Drug for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Dana-Farber scientists this year identified a promising new drug for a form of breast cancer and discovered one way the disease can outmaneuver the drug.

The dual approach could significantly extend patient survival times, the authors say.

“We found that a class of agents known as BET bromodomain inhibitors significantly impeded the growth of triple-negative breast cancer cells in …

(Presidential Proclamation))
