The Spelling Mistake In The Genetic Code That Causes A Type Of Ovarian Cancer
Eureka! Vancouver scientists from the Ovarian Cancer Research (OvCaRe) Program at BC Cancer Agency and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute have discovered that there appears to be a single spelling mistake in the genetic code of granulosa cell tumours, a rare and often untreatable form of ovarian cancer. This means that out of the three billion nucleotide pairs that make up the genetic code of the tumour, one - the same one in every tumour sample - is incorrect. The discovery, published online June 10th in the New England Journal of Medicine, marks the beginning of a new era of cancer genomics, where the complete genetic sequence of cancers can be unravelled and the mutations that cause them exposed. For women with granulosa cell tumours it represents the first specific diagnostic tool and clear path to develop much needed treatments for this cancer.

Statement By Senior Vice President Of Public Affairs, Premier Healthcare Alliance, On Association, Labor Action Plan To Reduce Healthcare Costs

The Premier healthcare alliance applauds the healthcare stakeholders group for their commitment to achieve up to $2 trillion in savings over the next decade. The 2,100 non-profit hospitals in the Premier healthcare alliance are at the forefront of efforts to improve the quality, safety and affordability of healthcare. Through the Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration (HQID), QUEST: High Performing Hospitals collaborative, Perinatal Safety Initiative and others, the Premier alliance has a long-standing track record of improving healthcare performance. Through these efforts, Premier hospitals have identified hundreds of billions of dollars in potential savings that can be shaved from the system without compromising patient care. We have also been leaders in sharing lessons learned from these collaborations to inform specific recommendations in the stakeholder savings plan, including those to improve perinatal care and reduce supply costs. As the largest national alliance of hospitals working on the front lines to achieve savings promised to the Administration, we will continue sharing information and ideas that can help us further reduce healthcare costs while simultaneously improving quality.
