Targeting tumor behavior may lead to new liver cancer drugs

(Ohio State University Medical Center) Ohio State University cancer researchers used computational and genomic methods to identify possible anti-cancer agents that target multiple genes simultaneously.

The researchers were seeking agents that might reverse gene changes in invasive liver cancer cells and block the spread of the disease in the body.

The strategy is a new way to find potentially useful anti-cancer agents because it identifies agents that strike multiple targets involved in a particular stage of disease development.
