Scientists create fast, scalable way to make cancer-fighting nanoparticles
MIT engineers have developed a faster, easier way to mass produce tiny drug-carrying particles that could help treat cancer more effectively, especially ovarian cancer.
Scientists find new structure in DNA repair protein that could help treat cancer
Scientists at the University of Iowa have made an exciting discovery that could lead to new cancer-fighting drugs.
Coffee-based therapy may treat ovarian cancer
Researchers from the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center have shared encouraging early results from a new clinical trial testing a unique coffee-based product as a possible maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer.
AI in colonoscopy can improve cancer detection
New research led by a Norwegian team has found that using artificial intelligence (AI) during colonoscopy screenings can slightly improve the detection of small growths called polyps. These are important to find because they can turn into cancer over time.
Study finds big cause of DNA changes that lead to cancer
A recent study from Yale University has brought scientists a step closer to understanding what causes cancer by revealing how much of a tumor’s growth is due to preventable factors, aging, or random chance.
Drinking more coffee may lower risk of uterine cancer, study suggests
Drinking coffee—especially caffeinated coffee—may help reduce the risk of developing endometrial cancer, a common type of cancer that starts in the lining of the uterus.
New discovery may help stop pancreatic cancer from spreading
Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have found that pancreatic cancer uses a key metabolic switch to help it spread.
Scientists find causes of major types of cancer
Many of the most common cancers in the United States are influenced by human choices.
Scientists find root cause of deadly ovarian cancer
Researchers have discovered the likely origin of a deadly form of ovarian cancer, offering new hope for early detection and better treatments.
This plant compound may help stop deadly brain cancer
Scientists at UCLA have discovered a potential new way to treat glioblastoma, the most aggressive type of brain cancer.
New discovery shows major cause of deadly pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest types of cancer. The most common form, called pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), spreads quickly and is very hard to treat.
New mRNA vaccine may help pancreatic cancer patients live longer
A new type of mRNA vaccine, added to standard cancer treatment, could help some patients with pancreatic cancer live longer. A small study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center tested this approach and found promising results.
