A key cancer-fighting gene in leukemia is switched off—not broken—and scientists from The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) have found a way to switch it back on. In a study published in Science Translational Medicine, the team […]

Ovarian cancer remains the deadliest gynecologic cancer, largely because it is rarely found early. Symptoms are often vague, and existing screening approaches—such as blood tests and transvaginal ultrasound—can miss the disease at stages when treatment […]

A declaration of remission doesn’t mean a cancer patient’s illness is fully gone. Many cancer survivors face lingering symptoms that lead to both physical discomfort and mental strain. Even though there are some commonalities, the […]

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center have found that adults aged 80 and older with early-stage lung cancer can safely undergo surgery and achieve […]

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 […]
