Diabetes drug could help cancer patients make better recovery
A common type of diabetes medication could help cancer patients make a better long-term recovery, according to new research from the University of East Anglia.
New treatment offers hope for deadly brain cancer
A groundbreaking experimental treatment for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers, has been published in Nature Medicine, bringing new hope for patients.
Nanoparticle immune therapy shows potential to halt pancreatic cancer spread
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most challenging tumors to treat, partly because it is often discovered at advanced stages when the disease has already spread, or metastasized. About half of pancreatic cancer patients experience metastasis to the liver, which worsens the prognosis for an already life-threatening disease.
Eating This Way May Help Your Immune System Fight Cancer, New Research Shows
Cancer is a genetic disease, but increasingly, researchers are beginning to view it as a metabolic disease as well. That’s because tumor growth isn’t simply the result of DNA mutations gone wild. It also involves changes in the structure and function of the mitochondria, the “powerhouse” part of our cells which are crucial for turning food into energy.
The timing breakthrough in liver cancer treatment
In a significant step forward for liver cancer treatment, researchers have found that a gap of at least 50 days between stopping immunotherapy and undergoing a liver transplant dramatically lowers the risk of graft rejection. This discovery offers new hope to patients battling hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer globally.
Double trouble for tumors: Immunotherapy shows promise in prostate cancer treatment
Researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences have uncovered a promising new approach for treating prostate cancer through a combination of immunotherapy and a targeted treatment strategy.
Eating eggs may increase cancer risks
A recent study from Harvard University has found a potential connection between egg consumption and the risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, ovarian, and fatal prostate cancer.
How aspirin could be used to reduce your cancer risk
Aspirin has the potential to prevent certain forms of cancer from spreading, scientists have found, and could even be used as a cancer treatment in the future.
How genetic testing is leading to better treatments for childhood cancer
New research is bringing hope to children and young people with cancer by using genetic testing to match them with more effective and less harmful treatments.

News, features, and commentary about cancer-related issues
New test may predict kidney cancer recurrence
Scientists at the University of Michigan have discovered a way to predict which kidney cancer patients are more likely to have their cancer come back after treatment. Their research could help doctors decide who needs extra treatment and who doesn’t, making care more personalized instead of using a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Genetic testing offers hope for targeted childhood cancer therapies
New research has looked into a comprehensive and structured approach to genetic testing, matching children and young people with cancer to targeted treatments.
