Tumors contain many different types of cells organized in complex spatial patterns that can influence how the disease progresses. Because of this, it is hard to predict how a tumor will develop and respond to […]

A new epidemiological study led by researchers at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the University of Regensburg, Germany, provides new clues about how physical activity helps prevent chronic diseases by influencing […]

New evidence from a Chinese cohort presented at the European Lung Cancer Congress (ELCC) 2026 shows that one-time low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening can significantly reduce lung cancer mortality in a non–risk based population, including […]

As more states legalize marijuana, many people might be wondering if that means it is safe to use. While smoking tobacco is a known and well-studied cause of lung cancer, linking marijuana to cancer is […]

Ovarian cancer is hard to diagnose early. Its symptoms, like bloating and abdominal pain, are vague and similar to other more common conditions. Early diagnosis improves outcomes for many cancers. However, prior research suggests that […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) could help physicians determine if survivors of childhood cancer need extra support—and the more information included in AI prompting, the better its performance. This finding, published in Communications Medicine by scientists from […]

When patients develop a narrowing or blockage in the bile ducts—the tubes connecting the liver, gallbladder and intestines—physicians must determine whether the cause is cancer or a benign condition. The location of these blockages adds […]

Early results from preclinical studies and a clinical trial led by researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and Stanford Medicine suggest that combining targeted radiation therapy with an experimental immune-boosting drug called […]

Scientists at City of Hope and TGen (part of City of Hope) are the first to explain a major mechanism for why gaining excess weight increases your risk of cancer. City of Hope is one […]

Fragments of tumor DNA circulating in the bloodstream of patients with breast cancer can predict whether they are likely to relapse, especially when samples are taken after the patients have received treatments prior to surgery. […]
