It’s a fundamental principle of science: Correlation does not equal causation. Every cancer cell has genetic mutations, but not all of those mutations necessarily drive the cancer.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com

A reduced-intensity bone marrow transplant regimen developed by Johns Hopkins physicians provides durable engraftment with low rejection rates and also may preserve fertility, according to results of a new study conducted by Johns Hopkins Kimmel […]

Nationwide, young people ages 18–24 are the heaviest users of e-cigarettes, with 38.4% of youth reporting habitual use. E-cigarettes are also very popular in Western New York, with significantly higher use than in New York […]

QIMR Berghofer scientists have developed an AI screening tool that harnesses the power of cutting-edge spatial biology analysis to give pathologists “super vision” to detect hidden genetic markers of cancer in standard patient tissue samples.This […]

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help scientists accelerate drug discovery and search for new treatments. But for AI tools to work effectively, researchers need to know whether they can be validated and applied […]

All types of brain cancers collectively have a five-year survival rate of just 33%, according to the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. For a type of brain cancer called glioblastoma, however, […]

A simple blood test can reveal the geographic relationships among healthy cells surrounding a cancerous tumor, researchers at Stanford Medicine and the Mayo Clinic have found. The test is the first noninvasive way to study […]

The digital transformation of pathology is opening up new possibilities for cancer diagnosis. Today’s artificial intelligence (AI) techniques now go far beyond mere automation: they make it possible to extract previously hidden biological information from […]

Breast cancer impacts over two million women around the world each year. Following radiotherapy or chemotherapy, breast-conserving surgery is the first line of intervention for early-stage breast cancer. This surgery aims to remove the tumor […]

Researchers at City of Hope and TGen (part of City of Hope) have identified a significant correlation between a tumor’s “splicing burden” and its clinical response to treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). In […]
