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. […]

Researchers leading a trial of active surveillance for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) have described early results as “reassuring” in a presentation at the 15th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC15) in Barcelona.This article was originally […]

The dedicator of cytokinesis 10 (DOCK10) gene has been identified as a key driver of abnormal insulin secretion in insulinomas, as reported by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo. Using surgical specimens and patient-derived organoids, […]

Metastasis, the spread of cancer from a primary tumor to other parts of the body, is difficult to study in the lab, in part because researchers lack reliable ways to recreate the conditions cancer cells […]

In 2023, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine led by the late Dr. Bert O’Malley discovered that the steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3) in immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs) plays a decisive role […]

An international team led by researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) and A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS), has published a paper in Nature Cancer […]

Recently, a research team led by Prof. Wang Hongzhi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a programmable plasmonic ring biosensor, MetaRing, capable of rapidly and accurately identifying paclitaxel […]

A team of cancer genomics scientists from The University of Manchester and The Institute of Cancer Research, London, forensically examined the genetic make-up of tumors in 16 different cancers. Their findings, which have been published […]

Researchers at the CU Anschutz Cancer Center have discovered how breast cancer cells that spread to the lungs may take advantage of the body’s natural healing response and how a commonly used drug might slow […]
