What this means, for all intents and purposes, is that the entire process of chemotherapy is completely worthless, and is actually highly detrimental for cancer patients. Anyone searching for a real cure will want to avoid chemotherapy, in other words, and pursue an alternate route.

Oh my father had leukemia and no chemo was used. He used Essiac and Concord Grape Juice.

Ill believe it more if a real science journal picks it up.
Well that's the thing here, it is a peer reviewed article published in Nature Medicine.
It's morons like Mike Adams who take an article like this and twist it into something completely different.
Anyway, I'll do what he didn't and provide a link to the paper:
www.ayurvedicpoint.it...
It's difficult to read and understand for us Layman's but we have a nice summary written by one of the principal authors, Peter S. Nelson:
www.eurekalert.org...
Cancer therapies are increasingly evolving to be very specific, targeting key molecular engines that drive the cancer rather than more generic vulnerabilities, such as damaging DNA. Our findings indicate that the tumor microenvironment also can influence the success or failure of these more precise therapies." In other words, the same cancer cell, when exposed to different "neighborhoods," may have very different responses to treatment.
Acquired resistance to anticancer treatments is a substantial barrier to reducing the morbidity and mortality that is attributable to malignant tumors. Components of tissue microenvironments are recognized to profoundly influence cellular phenotypes,including susceptibilities to toxic insults. Using a genome-wide analysis of transcriptional responses to genotoxic stress inducedby cancer therapeutics, we identified a spectrum of secreted proteins derived from the tumor microenvironment that includesthe Wnt family member wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 16B (WNT16B). We determined that WNT16B expression is regulated by nuclear factor of k light polypeptide gene enhancer in B cells 1 (NF-kB) after DNA damage and
subsequently signals in a paracrine manner to activate the canonical Wnt program in tumor cells. The expression of WNT16B in the prostate tumor microenvironment attenuated the effects of cytotoxic chemotherapy in vivo, promoting tumor cell survival and disease progression. These results delineate a mechanism by which genotoxic therapies given in a cyclical manner can enhance subsequent treatment resistance through cell nonautonomous effects that are contributed by the tumor microenvironment.

May I ask how long he survived using that treatment ?
Or was he cured ?edit on 27-1-2013 by Blue_Jay33 because: (no reason given)

Very interesting, I might just start incorporating more of the concord grape juice into my diet as I like it anyway.
Thanks for sharing.

Why did you not post something from the actual study?
From what I can see, the Natural news article and the one on another news page, are saying what this study says, but they did manipulate the study by insinuating it covered all cancers, while this study was conducted with prostate patients only..
Bottom line: We have scientific research that says chemo with several specific chemicals caused good cells to secrete proteins that created an environment for prostate cancer to grow. We can only conclude from this so far that these specific toxins did this, and not all chemos, until research is done on all of them. Although it would seem that, that kind of research would have been conducted prior to patient treatment already.

They took it completely out of context. This study also includes that if an antibody is given to the patient it can counteract the negative effects of the protein in question. Making this study something that will make this chemo (and possibly others?) more effective.
Natural News acts as though it's a death blow to chemo.
