An oral combination treatment may prevent the progression of advanced leiomyosarcoma, one of the most common subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma, according to a recent study published in The Lancet Oncology. “These findings support the […]

Researchers have uncovered the mechanisms behind three unique subtypes of mismatch repair deficient high-grade gliomas. The findings provide a clearer understanding of how these tumors develop, explain why patients respond differently to immunotherapy, and are […]

Case Western Reserve University researchers have made a significant breakthrough in understanding Barrett’s esophagus, a precancerous condition that dramatically increases the risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma, one of the fastest-spreading and deadliest forms of cancer. […]

A new study sheds light on why some patients with the most aggressive form of ovarian cancer respond better to treatment than others. Tumors positive for a molecule called MHC class II are linked to […]

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have discovered a promising new treatment approach for pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and most treatment-resistant forms of cancer. The approach leverages the body’s natural immune […]

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School, in collaboration with Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) biomarker tool that may help predict how ovarian cancer […]

Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are a cornerstone of adjuvant therapy for hormone receptor–positive breast cancer, significantly reducing recurrence and mortality. However, by suppressing estrogen production, AIs accelerate bone loss and increase fracture risk. To counter this, […]

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute-led research helped drive an FDA label update for axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta) that removes a prior exclusion for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma, a rare and aggressive lymphoma of the brain […]

Our lymphatic system is like a big network of roots spread throughout the body. It serves as part of our immune system, transporting immune cells and filtering excess fluid (lymph) before returning it to the […]

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses and managed and modified […]
