In Lab Study, Georgetown University Medical Center Researchers Find Molecule That Disrupts Ewing’s Sarcoma Oncogene

ScienceDaily (Apr. 16, 2008) — Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have found a small molecule they say can block the action of the oncogene that causes Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare cancer found in children and young adults. If further studies continue to prove beneficial, they say the novel agent could be the first targeted therapy to treat the disease, which can produce tumors anywhere in the body.
