Research in biomedical laboratories has been changing significantly in recent years, to the point that test tubes have given way to computers on many occasions. In this context, many discoveries now begin with detailed studies […]
A multinational collaboration co-led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a potential explanation for why some cancer patients receiving a type of immunotherapy called checkpoint inhibitors experience increased susceptibility to common infections.This […]
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies can be very effective against some cancers by helping the immune system recognize cancer cells that are masquerading as healthy cells.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Having cancer can be one of the most physically and emotionally draining experiences of a person’s life, but navigating this disease without adequate support or resources makes this journey even more burdensome.This article was originally […]
The 2024 American Lung Association’s “State of Lung Cancer” report, released on Nov. 19, reveals that lung cancer is the most lethal cancer in Florida. The more localized state report shows only a quarter of […]
Laboratory experiments with cancer cells have revealed two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Both radiation and temozolomide, a generic chemotherapy treatment in pill form, have meaningful single-modality anti-tumor activity against slow-growing, low-grade gliomas. The randomized phase 3 trial E3F05 by the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN) tested whether […]
Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have discovered the underlying biology that identifies a subset of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who have a higher risk version of the disease and are more likely […]
Clinical trials testing cancer immunotherapies have significantly under-represented Black patients. So while these treatments have resulted in dramatically improved outcomes for some patients, researchers from the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center wanted to understand […]
Chromosomal instability plays a crucial role in the progression of cancer: it shapes the properties of tumor cells and drives the development of therapy resistance. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Heidelberg […]
