#Researchers target cancer stem cells in malignant brain tumorsresearchers at the Cedars-Sinai Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute and Department of Neurosurgery identified immune system targets on cancer
Like normal stem cells cancer stem cells have the ability to self-renew and generate new cells
if the cancer stem cells can be destroyed a tumor may not be able to sustain itself
but if the cancer originators are removed not or destroyed a tumor will continue to return despite the use of existing cancer-killing therapies.
The researchers identified certain fragments of a protein--CD133--that is found on cancer stem cells of some brain tumors and other cancers.
In the laboratory they cultured the proteins with dendritic cells the immune system's most powerful antigen-presenting cells
CD133 is one of several proteins made at high levels in the cancer stem cells of glioblastoma multiforme.

The National Cancer Control Program estimates that there  are 2 to 2. 5 million cancer patients at any given point of time in India with about 0. 7 million new cases coming every year

pesticides are being linked to cancer especially in the state of Punjab, the bread basket of India,
But now the Malwa region of the state, called the cancer belt of India, has 136 cancer patients for 100,000 people.
Overall, Punjab has 90 per 100,000, which is higher than the national average of 80 per 100,
