Anixa Biosciences (Nasdaq:ANIX) Looking Forward to Initiating Human Trials with Breast Cancer Vaccine by End of 2020

2020-05-28T09:47:00-05:00

Rochester, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/28/2020 -- While Anixa Biosciences (NASDAQ:ANIX) has gained some visibility for their recent work on Covid-19, it's important to understand that that company has some additional compelling assets. Today, I want to discuss their breast cancer vaccine program. I wont discuss all the market size details about breast cancer as most of us know that breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the US and throughout the world. The most dangerous type of breast cancer is something called, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). It is called TNBC because the cancer is negative for hormone receptors as well as Her2neu, a marker for a type of breast cancer. Because it does not have those receptors, TNBC grows rapidly without growth signals provided by the proteins that bind to those receptors. Roughly on quarter of all breast cancers are TNBC, but because of its aggressiveness and lack of good therapies for TNBC, it is the cause of roughly half of breast cancer mortality.

An example of a person that may qualify for benefits would be a person that was a roofer for many years and now finds that their knees are in very bad shape. If the person can't find another job because they did only roofing during their career, they may qualify for social security disability benefits.

Grieving Father Targets Enormous University Endowments to Help Cure Cancer

2018-12-17T16:39:00-06:00

Pebble Beach, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/17/2018 -- Rider McDowell is a former journalist and entrepreneur (Airborne, Pine Brothers), turned reluctant cancer research crusader. His son Errol, 18, died in June after a terrible six year battle with medulloblastoma, the most common brain tumor in children. While raising desperately needed funding for a number of university labs (Duke, Stanford, UCSF, Case Western, U of Florida and Harvard) McDowell wondered why the universities themselves, with their tremendous endowments, weren't stepping up to the funding plate. "Here is Stanford with a $26 billion endowment, and I'm beating the bushes raising money, sometimes in small amounts, so their researchers can pursue the brilliant potentially curative science they live for, and that so many desperate families long for." According to McDowell, sometimes it takes very little. One $25,000 donation from the McDowell family, directly led to research at Duke, using the Polio virus against Medulloblastoma. The results have been positive, and a potentially curative clinical trial is underway with sick children. Funding from the McDowells and money raised through their late son's charity, Canceragogo.com, has also advanced the fight against pediatric brain tumors at UCSF, Case Western University, U of Florida, and Stanford. Canceragogo.com, which Errol created with his two younger brothers, has raised close to $1 million dollars, much of this raised $1 dollar at a time.

Secaucus, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/12/2018 -- As the Indian summer fades and October rustles in, it can almost seem like breast cancer awareness is ubiquitous to every part of our lives. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer death among women. While one in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetimes, with Ashkenazi Jews the rate is higher. Some specific changes, or mutations, in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, occur more frequently in Ashkenazi Jews than in the general population.
