    Exploring the Nexus of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias with Cancer and Cancer Therapies
    (Elsevier, 2017-03) Snyder, Heather M.; Ahles, Timothy; Calderwood, Stuart; Carrillo, Maria C.; Chen, Honglei; Chang, Chung-Chou; Craft, Suzanne; De Jager, Philip; Driver, Jane A.; Fillet, Howard; Knopman, David; Lotze, Michael; Tierney, Mary C.; Petanceska, Suzana; Saykin, Andrew; Seshadri, Sudha; Shineman, Diana; Ganguli, Mary; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, School of Medicine
    Recent population studies suggest an intriguing inverse relationship between several types of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the intersection of the underlying biology for these two distinct families of diseases with one another may offer novel approaches to identify new therapeutic approaches and possible opportunities to repurpose existing drug candidates. The Alzheimer’s Association and the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation convened a one day workshop to delve into this discussion. Workshop participants outlined research focus areas, potential collaborations and partnerships for future action.
