Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve by gaining and losing whole chromosomes, changes that help tumors grow, adapt and resist treatment. In ...
T cell lymphomas are notoriously difficult to treat because immunotherapy, despite being one of the most effective therapies for treating cancer, can't easily distinguish cancerous T cells from ...
A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...
Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...
Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells in connective tissue that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet, these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting. Until ...
Obesity is now linked to at least 13 types of cancer, making it one of the most preventable cancer risk factors in the United States.
Chinese scientists have improved upon an existing powerful leukemia treatment, which now works even when cancer cells try to ...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer. It affects people of all ages but is most common in those over 65. Around 150 people are diagnosed with the disease each year in ...
Obesity significantly increases the risk of developing certain types of cancer through several interacting biological factors. Excess body fat leads to chronic inflammation, which triggers the release ...
Scientists are developing cancer-eating bacteria designed to grow inside oxygen-free tumors and attack cancer from within.
The University of Iowa Health Care Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center has started treating its second patient — the second in the state — with a cellular therapy to fight synovial sarcoma, a rare and ...
