New research from CU Cancer Center member Scott Cramer, PhD, and his colleagues could help in the treatment of men with certain aggressive types of prostate cancer.
Published this week in the journal
Molecular Cancer Research, Cramer s study specifically looks at how the loss of two specific prostate tumor-suppressing genes MAP3K7 and CHD1 increases androgen receptor signaling and makes the patient more resistant to the anti-androgen therapy that is typically administered to reduce testosterone levels in prostate cancer patients. Doctors don t normally stratify patients based on this subtype and say, We re going to have to treat these people differently, but we think this should be considered before treating them with anti-androgen therapy because they appear to be already inherently resistant to the therapy, says Cramer, professor in the Department of Pharmacology. They re less likely to respond to the treatment.

Crestwood schoolâs leaders havenât decided yet when elementary students will return to in-person classes, which the state recommended for the second semester that starts Feb. 1.
âWe will have an an announcement shortly,â Superintendent Bob Mehalick said Thursday during a committee meeting with the school board. âThere are a lot of things we are still working through. Our goal, our motivation is to get our kids back to some form of in-person instruction.â
If students return, Mehalick will recommend they spend a few days a week in classrooms and study from home on other days, as they did before Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving, a resurgence of the virus led all classes to meet virtually. Buses and some classes would be too crowded for students to keep 6 feet apart if they returned five days a week, Mehalick said after board member James Costello asked how many days a week students would attend.
