Metabolic tumor volume—a biomarker derived from PET imaging—can more accurately predict progression-free survival for large B-cell lymphoma patients than the widely used International Prognostic Index. By identifying patients who are more likely to have poor […]
An experimental drug targeting triple-negative breast cancer overwhelms cancer cells with toxic fats, according to new tests on human-derived tumors in mice. Triple-negative breast cancer lacks three common drug targets, making it one of the […]
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed treatment for many types of cancer. In some patients, however, ICIs are associated with immune-related complications that can affect the kidneys. These complications sometimes require care teams to pause […]
Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Medicine have identified a critical metabolic vulnerability in breast cancer that has spread to the brain, offering a promising new therapeutic target for a disease with few effective treatment […]
A team of researchers from Brown University Health and Brown University has uncovered an important clue in the fight against glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer in adults.This article was originally […]
After decades of struggling to find a way to treat pancreatic cancer, researchers have developed several promising new drugs that could offer rare hope to patients given this particularly deadly diagnosis.This article was originally published […]
Platinum-based chemotherapy is a standard treatment for ovarian cancer, but its effectiveness can be limited in some cases. In some patients, the disease returns or progresses within six months of the last platinum dose, a […]
Determining the presence of a protein in non-tumor cells within the cancer microenvironment could be one of the keys to establishing prognosis in patients with colon and rectal cancer. It may also help identify which […]
A recent randomized clinical trial has found that men with localized, intermediate-risk prostate cancer recovered faster and experienced less short-term impact on their daily lives when treated with MRI-guided, transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) compared with […]
Scientists have discovered that increased expression of a novel long non-coding RNA drives glioblastoma cell growth alongside a genetic amplification found in more than half of glioblastoma tumors, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published […]
