Consider two seemingly unrelated medical puzzles. First: Every day, our bodies produce hundreds of billions of new cells, many of which are mutated. If cancer arises from cellular mutation, why don’t we all have the […]
An international team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s Hospital, McGill University and University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has discovered what drives the growth of a lethal pediatric brain tumor […]
Chronic inflammation can raise a person’s risk of cancer, and a new study reveals key details about how that might happen in the gut and points to better ways to identify and reduce risk. Scientists […]
Despite a host of checks and balances that usually prevent harmful genetic mutations, sometimes mistakes happen, with serious consequences. Now, researchers from Japan elucidate how a common mutation underlying a common childhood cancer also makes […]
Prostate cancer affects one in five Australian men, making it the most common cancer in the country. Now, researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have produced the world’s most detailed cellular “atlas” of […]
Women who are treated with a mastectomy for breast cancer often choose to have surgery to reconstruct the breast using an implant. But hard, painful scar tissue can form around the implant, especially when women […]
The chances of breast cancer recurring remain very low when patients are treated with radiotherapy that is tailored to their individual risk following chemotherapy and surgery. These are the findings of a 10-year study presented […]
A rare form of leukemia known as TCF3::HLF-positive B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) sits among the most aggressive blood cancers seen in children. The disease causes a rapid buildup of abnormal blood cells, but […]
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer. It kills more people in the U.S. than breast, prostate, and colon cancer combined. When lung adenocarcinoma, the most common primary lung cancer in the […]
When a person with cancer finds out they carry an inherited genetic variant that puts them at higher risk of cancer, the results can help inform their treatment or steps to prevent additional cancer.This article […]
