Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that specialized immune cells within the glioblastoma tumor metabolize fructose to suppress immune responses and promote tumor growth, reports a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of […]

Detection of a bowel cancer marker (CDH1) in wastewater may offer a new community-level early warning system for the disease, suggests a proof-of-concept study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Wastewater surveillance […]

Researchers at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute propose a new view of cancer based on spatial hallmark ecosystems and its evolution during cancer progression. This conceptual framework combines the latest spatial single cell technologies […]

Immunotherapy has transformed cancer treatment by harnessing the body’s own immune system to fight disease. But many engineered immune cells lose strength quickly after they enter the body, especially inside tumors that actively suppress immune […]

Finding an effective treatment for osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer in children and young adults, has puzzled medical researchers for 40 years. Now, a new study by researchers at Case Western Reserve […]

For decades, large portions of the human genome were labeled “junk DNA.” New research from Western University and London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI) suggests these overlooked sequences may help protect the body from […]

Scientists at Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered a new dual function for a well-known cancer-related protein called ezrin. This finding could potentially open the door to new treatments for osteosarcoma, the most […]

Led by researchers at NDORMS as part of the Data Analysis and Real World Interrogation Network (DARWIN EU) initiative, a new European study has shown that carefully designed observational studies can produce robust and reliable […]

KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, has discovered how cancer cells can exploit healthy lung cells to support metastatic tumor growth in the lungs. In two complementary studies […]

A new study co-authored by University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researchers Jessica Burris, Ph.D., Timothy Mullett, M.D., and Graham Warren, M.D., Ph.D., shows that making smoking cessation assistance a standard part of cancer care […]
