Scientists find the key to treating colon cancer
Scientists at Northwestern Medicine have discovered that blocking a protein called GATA6 in mice with colon cancer slowed down tumor growth and helped the mice live longer.
New discovery could protect cancer patients from radiation side effects
Radiation therapy is a key part of cancer treatment, with about 60% of cancer patients in the U.S. receiving it at some stage.
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.
New blood test could detect gallbladder cancer more accurately
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital have discovered specific proteins in the blood that can help doctors distinguish between gallbladder cancer and gallbladder inflammation.
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 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.
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.
Alcohol increases colon cancer risk, while calcium and whole foods offer
A large-scale study led by researchers at the University of Oxford’s Cancer Epidemiology Unit has found strong links between dietary habits and colorectal cancer risk.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may lower cancer risk
New research from the University of Georgia suggests that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids could help reduce the risk of developing several types of cancer. These healthy fats, already known for their benefits in lowering cholesterol, supporting brain health, and improving mental well-being, may play a key role in cancer prevention as well.
A powerful drug combo may treat pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the world. Only about 13 out of every 100 people with this disease survive for five years after being diagnosed.
Common painkiller might help stop cancer from spreading
Most cancer deaths happen not because of the main tumor, but because cancer cells spread to other parts of the body. This process is called metastasis. When cancer spreads, it becomes much harder to treat.
