Liver transplants offer new hope for colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis
Liver transplants are becoming a new treatment option for certain colorectal cancer patients whose cancer has spread to their liver and are ineligible for other surgical options.
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.
Study suggests exercise could reduce breast cancer recurrence
Exercise could potentially reduce the recurrence rate of breast cancer, new research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has found.

Research reveals worse outcomes for men who avoid prostate cancer screening
Men who consistently avoid prostate cancer screening appointments face a disproportionately higher risk of dying from the disease, finds research identifying a new high-risk group.
Researchers identify potential drug combinations to improve breast cancer treatment: Q&A with professor of pharmacology
Triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive type of breast cancer, accounts for 10% of all breast cancer cases in the United States annually. CD8+ T cells that normally kill cancer cells often become exhausted and stop.
Prostate Cancer Surgery Innovation Preserves Erectile Function
Discover the groundbreaking NeuroSAFE technique that nearly doubles the chances of preserving erectile function in prostate cancer patients post-surgery, without compromising cancer control.
Japanese Drug Regulator Approves Genmab Cancer Drug For Patients With Advanced Cervical Cancer – Genmab (NASDAQ:GMAB) – Benzinga
Japan approves Tivdak, the first ADC for cervical cancer, after Phase 3 trial shows a 30% reduction in death risk vs. chemotherapy.
Cancer-keeper genes offer targets for disrupting cancer cell maintenance
By analyzing huge amounts of biological data, the use of machine learning accelerates the identification of critical control hubs that are sensitive to changes in the network structure of the total controllability network, thereby having potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for disease and cancer treatment.
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.
Magnetic nanoparticles transport drugs deep into tumors to slow cancer growth
Drugs and other treatments can be quite effective at killing cancer cells, yet many fall short as they struggle to penetrate deep into solid tumors due to physical barriers within the tissue.
Protein HKDC1: A new potential target for colon cancer therapy
People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) also have an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. However, the exact mechanisms behind this are still largely unknown.
Researchers learn how a drug called zotatifin kills cancer cells
Swirling inside every cell are millions of microscopic messages called messenger RNAs (mRNAs).
Second TB vaccination boosts immunity in bladder cancer patients and reduces cancer recurrence, pilot study suggests
Two doses of a simple tuberculosis vaccination after surgery helps the immune system fight cancer cells and could greatly improve patient outcomes for the most common type of bladder cancer, according to a pilot study of 40 patients.
Tumour meltdown in China therapy tests offers hope to late-stage cancer patients
Experimental therapy uses a modified virus to boost immunity and make anti-tumour treatments more effective, according to study
Genetic mutation predicts pancreatic cancer metastasis and survival
A new study by Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers found that the presence of a specific genetic mutation—KRAS circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)—strongly indicates a higher risk of cancer spread and worse survival rates for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
