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 ...

A new study by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a hidden mechanism explaining why breast cancer can ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dire diagnoses in medicine. There are few available treatments, and they do little to ...

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 ...

Moffitt Cancer Center researchers have developed ALFA-K, a new tool that they say can predict how cancer cells survive and compete. This new algorithm offers a potential roadmap for more effective, ...

Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and their colleagues are shedding new light on a tumor’s earliest moments — revealing how lung cells with cancer-causing mutations recruit ...

“There has never really been an integrated explanation as to why cancer cells develop plasticity,” said Antonio Iavarone, M.D. “That’s what our study does. We’ve now revealed how the plasticity of ...

The stiffness of tumor tissue plays a role in how cancer spreads. Furthermore, stiff tumor tissue leaves traces in the affected cells, according to two recent research studies from Lund University.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine are developing new ways to fight tumors and aggressive forms of cancer—such as triple-negative breast cancer, ...

A small molecule inside your body quietly fuels life every day. It helps your cells turn fat into energy, keeping your heart beating and your muscles moving. Now, scientists have found a way to watch ...

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 ...

Circulating tumor cells were first described in 1869 by Thomas Ashworth, an Australian pathologist who observed them in a peripheral blood sample taken from a patient with metastatic cancer. 1 They ...
