The Cancer Genome Atlas, a project launched by America’s National Institutes of Health, has assembled genetic data on thousands of tumors and made it available to anyone who wants to analyze it. Thanks to these DNA sequencing studies, researchers have unprecedented information on the molecular changes which propel cancer. Rameen Beroukhim, M.D., Ph.D., a 2009 V Scholar, is one of the researchers making sense of the data and putting it to use. He has examined almost 5,000 specimens from 11 traditionally defined types of cancer and found 140 regions of DNA that were sometimes either multiplied repeatedly or deleted altogether.

Coaches vs Cancer Classic

Author: Wikipedia Network

This article is about the tournament begun in 2012. For the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic of 1995-2011, see 2K Sports Classic.

The Coaches Vs. Cancer Classic is a new annual college basketball tournament event, benefiting cancer research. The event is held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn NY, and televised by truTV. The tournament replaced the previous Coaches vs. Cancer Classic tournament of 1995-2011, which was renamed the 2K Sports Classic in 2012 when it became a charitable event for the Wounded Warrior Project.

The tournament features 12 schools, with four host schools playing two games on campus and advancing to the Championship Rounds held at the Barclays Center. The remainder of the field participates in a round-robin series at one of the two sub-host sites.

The Florida State Seminoles won the inaugural Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in 2012 by defeating the St. Josephs Hawks 73-66.

DESCRIPTION

Multiple Myeloma is a cancer that starts in the bone. As it progresses it shows seriously ill signs of the cancer as it goes to a certain part of the human body. It affects the organ by discombobulating blood cells and going to any other area of the body.

Multiple myeloma, also known as myeloma, is a hematologic cancer, or cancer of the blood. It is the second most common blood cancer, after non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and represents approximately 1% of all cancers in white individuals and 2% of all cancers in black individuals.The American Cancer Society estimates that 24,050 new cases of multiple myeloma will be diagnosed in 2014. The number of cases of myeloma reported at a particular time (the prevalence) varies according to gender, age, and race/ethnicity. Multiple myeloma is more common among men than women and occurs more frequently with increasing age.

Multiple Myeloma is a dangerous cancer that starts in the bones but progress to be dangerous. It occurs more in older men.
