Low Prevalence Of HPV Infection May Be Tied To Poor Prognosis For Blacks With Head And Neck Cancer
Researchers at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer have found that head and neck cancer patients who test positive for the human papillomavirus (HPV) have much better survival rates than patients who don"t have the virus, according to a new study in the journal Cancer Prevention Research. The researchers also discovered that blacks in the study had a very low rate of HPV infection, and consequently worse survival, which may explain why African-American patients traditionally have had a poor prognosis for head and neck cancer.

Joseph F. Finn, Jr., C.P.A. ("Finn"), announced today that there has been promising initial interest from pharma companies in the intellectual property of Prospect Therapeutics, Inc. ("Prospect"). In preclinical studies, GCS-100 inhibited blood vessel formation in a variety of cancer models.

Galectin-3 also plays an important role in stimulating angiogenesis in a variety of tissues. The intellectual property, regulatory dossier, fixed assets and clinical inventory will be sold at auction on Monday, June 29, 2009 at 12:00 noon. Persons interested in bidding must sign a Confidentiality Agreement ("CA") obtained from Finn"s Office - jffinnjr@earthlink.net or 781-237-8840. They will then receive a bid package. About Prospect Therapeutics, Inc. Prospect"s lead product candidate, GCS-100, is a carbohydrate molecule designed to inhibit the activity of Galectin-3, a protein found in high concentration in a broad range of human cancers and whose over-expression is associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients.
