In addition to his work with American Life Fund Corp, Eugene E. Houchins III supports philanthropic cancer organizations that are seeking funds for research.
Last year, cancer researchers discovered a new way of preventing the spread of cancer cells throughout the body: changing them to fat cells. The new research could help to stop the metastasis or spread of cancer from primary tumors to other areas of the body and potentially slow the spread of the disease.
Researchers at the University of Basel, located in Switzerland, were able to use this element of cancer cell plasticity to force breast cancer cells to turn into fat cells, preventing them from moving freely throughout the body. In combination with chemotherapy, this new treatment could help prevent the growth of primary tumors as well as preventing metastasis.
The next steps to this research will involve exploring how this new form of treatment will work when used with conventional chemotherapy methods. Hopefully soon, there will be a new form of treatment available for cancer patients.
