Tumors driven by cancer-driving KRAS mutations are often susceptible to ferroptosis, a type of cell death that can be harnessed for cancer therapy. Given that more than 95% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) harbor such […]

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrates that a specialized high-dose type of radiation delivery may significantly improve outcomes for patients with large bile duct tumors in […]

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a first-in-class antibody that targets a protein overexpressed in many cancer types, allowing for the creation of a new radio-theranostic treatment that brings […]

A new study has answered a question that has puzzled cancer researchers for decades: Does a genetic defect found in nearly all human colorectal cancers simply accompany the disease, or does it trigger its development? […]

In some non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), changes to the RET gene (known as RET fusions) can drive tumor growth. In a phase 1/2 clinical study with a 42-month-long follow-up period, researchers from Mass General […]

Oral Cancer Awareness Month is observed every April, and it highlights the urgent need for early detection. According to the American Cancer Society, oral and oropharyngeal cancers still claim about one life every hour in […]

As lung cancer screening identifies an estimated 1.6 million suspicious lung nodules each year in the U.S. alone, physicians face a challenge. Most peripheral pulmonary lesions are benign, yet the malignant minority represent the leading […]

Immunotherapies have transformed cancer treatment by helping the immune system recognize and attack tumors. They work for only about 20% of patients, though, and doctors still struggle to predict who will benefit.This article was originally […]

Melanoma is a deadly form of skin cancer that is typically removed surgically. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Nano report they have developed a potential noninvasive treatment for melanoma in the form of a stretchy, […]
