For Allison, this protein was CTLA-4 protein, while Honjo studied a protein called PD-1. Both CTLA-4 and PD-1 regulate the immune system and keep it from being too aggressive. Therefore, it\u2019s possible to use an antibody to target these proteins and shut them down. When these proteins are shut down, and the brakes \u201creleased,\u201d our body\u2019s immune system can go on the attack against cancerous tumors, a form of treatment today called immunotherapy. (Both proteins brake the immune system, just in different ways.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2018-10-health-related-quality-life-overlooked-cancer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft \" src=\"http:\/\/www.robertscottbell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AJSLP_25_2_214fig0.jpeg\" width=\"198\" height=\"99\" \/>Health-related quality of life overlooked in cancer drug studies<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; A McMaster University-led review and analysis of randomized clinical trials is questioning whether interventions which prolong progression-free survival in cancer patients, improve their health-related quality of life.

But how does cancer get this glucose? A University of Colorado Cancer Center study published today in the journal\u00a0<i>Cancer Cell<\/i>\u00a0shows that leukemia undercuts the ability of normal cells to consume glucose, thus leaving more glucose available to feed its own growth.\u00a0\u201cLeukemia\u00a0<a class=\"textTag\" href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/tags\/cells\/\" rel=\"tag\">cells<\/a>\u00a0create a diabetic-like condition that reduces\u00a0<a class=\"textTag\" href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/tags\/glucose\/\" rel=\"tag\">glucose<\/a>\u00a0going to\u00a0<a class=\"textTag\" href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/tags\/normal+cells\/\" rel=\"tag\">normal cells<\/a>, and as a consequence, there is more glucose available for the\u00a0<a class=\"textTag\" href=\"https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/tags\/leukemia+cells\/\" rel=\"tag\">leukemia cells<\/a>.
