HDGC Research: In pursuit of stomach cancer prevention

Posted by Karen Chelcun Schreiber On November - 11 - 2009

A  prestigious James Cook Fellowship has been awarded to researcher Parry Guilford, University of Otazo, New Zealand, to pursue innovative research aimed at reversing or preventing the very early stages of stomach cancer.

Read Parry Guilford’s personal post detailing his exciting research plan for HDGC / CDH1 gene research.  His two year fellowship will begin in March, 2010.

 

The University of Otago announces Parry Guilford’s exciting award for  stomach cancer research.

New Zealand Government Research Fellowship: Focus on HDGC and diffuse gastric cancer

Posted by Parry Guilford On November - 11 - 2009

Parry Guilford; Cancer Genetics Laboratory, University of Otago

The James Cook Fellowship provides funding for two years of concentrated research, free of teaching and administrative commitments.  My planned research is built broadly around establishing methods to assess individual risk of developing gastric cancer.  As we all know, CDH1 mutation carriers have a lifetime risk of around 70-80% of developing diffuse gastric cancer, but we have little understanding of an individual’s actual risk at any particular point in time. A better understanding of this would help individual carriers decide what the best time for surgical intervention is.  Read the rest of this entry »

      Thank you so much for your message Cecily. I think it is just amazing that we can ‘chat’ to others just like ourselves, even if we are oceans apart. I still feel amazed at how well my recovery has gone thus far and it is just lovely to read other personal stories that reassure me [...]
