Cancers that were once considered incurable now have new treatment options. Among these innovations are CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T cell) therapies that modify a patient’s T cells, which play an important role in immune […]
Metastases are a key problem in many types of cancer. As descendants of the primary tumor, they can grow in other organs distant from the primary site and are often difficult to identify. A research […]
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a new blood-based biomarker that can help identify and characterize asymptomatic people with Lynch Syndrome (LS) who are more susceptible to developing cancer […]
As many as 1 in 4 cancers are driven by mutations in the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, which controls access to DNA. A study led by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital recently identified the gene-regulatory protein […]
A new artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool shows promise for improving surveillance in patients treated with endoscopic eradication therapies for Barrett’s esophagus (BE)-related dysplasia and early esophageal adenocarcinoma. BE is the only known condition that precedes […]
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for nearly one in five cancer deaths—around 1.8 million lives lost each year. One of the main reasons is late diagnosis: in its early […]
Mesothelioma, a rare cancer that usually starts in the lining around the lungs, has long been thought of as a condition that affects older men—especially those who may have been exposed to asbestos while working […]
The tumor begins before birth. Somewhere in the developing fetus, neural crest cells that should have matured into adrenal tissue or sympathetic ganglia take a wrong turn, and a child is born harboring a malignancy […]
Research behind the skin cancer prevention campaign “If You Could See UV” has found that evoking fear of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure—through a visually striking metaphor—helped motivate young adults to protect their skin. By visualizing […]
Liver cancer is one of the world’s deadliest cancers, and most cases are linked to chronic viral hepatitis. Yet scientists have lacked an animal model that faithfully recapitulates how the disease unfolds in people, from […]
