Genetic information collected from seemingly healthy tissue near lung tumors may be a better predictor of whether cancer will come back after treatment than analysis of the tumors themselves.

MYC proteins play an important role in many types of cancer. A research team at the University of Würzburg has now succeeded in indirectly influencing these proteins – with clear consequences for the tumor.

Anastrozole is now authorised as a preventative treatment for post-menopausal women at moderate or high risk of breast cancer.

The genetic "ringleader" behind a molecular domino effect driving prostate cancer growth and metastasis has been identified in new research.

A new targeted drug may offer a new treatment option for patients with blood cancers, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, showing promise in the first-in-human trials.

Researchers at the University of Freiburg have now been able to prevent the exhaustion caused by CAR-T cell therapy and thus significantly improve the effect of the therapy in a preclinical animal model.

A new study has revealed that tobacco smoke can cause specific DNA changes that can prevent anti-cancer proteins from being fully constructed, representing one way that tobacco smoking causes cancer.

Inspired by the enhanced visual system of the Papilio xuthus butterfly, a team of researchers have developed an imaging sensor capable of “seeing” into the UV range inaccessible to human eyes.

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have led a phase 1 trial of a new drug that delivers potent radiation therapy directly and specifically to cancer cells in patients with advanced prostate cancer.
