Biography
Michael Retsky received PhD in experimental physics from University of Chicago in 1974. While working at Hewlett-Packard in Colorado Springs in 1982, a friend started an informal cancer research project since his wife was being treated for cancer. Over the next years, Retsky made a career change into cancer research. His first paper in oncology (Speer et al Cancer Research 1984) predicted that tumor growth included periods of dormancy. He eventually became Prof of Biology at Univ of Colorado and later on staff of Judah Folkman at Harvard Medical School.

Method to prevent early and late relapses in breast cancer; possible collaboration with Sensors
Author(s): Michael Retsky
My colleagues and I were confronted in 1993 with an unexpected bimodal relapse pattern in breast cancer. Data showed that in patients treated only with surgery, 50 to 80% of all relapses occurred in an early sharp wave in the first 3 years post-surgery. We eventually determined that surgery to remove a primary tumor causes systemic inflammation for a week. During that time, dormant single malignant cells and avascular deposits escape from dormancy and appear as relapses within 3 years. The multi-national authors of our reports include medical oncologists, surgeons, anaesthesiologists, physicists, and other scientists. A solution seems to exist based on our analysis. That therapy is the common nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) analgesic ketorolac admini... view more»
