Californians living longer with cancer — some longer than others

As he grew older, Dale Kunitomi paid closer attention to his health — and to his doctor's advice. When he noticed rectal bleeding in 2010, he went to see his physician, who ordered a colonoscopy.

HKBU chemists discover metal-based inhibitor to treat triple-negative breast cancer

Chemists at Hong Kong Baptist University have discovered the use of a metal compound that inhibits the enzyme closely associated with triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most difficult forms of breast cancer to treat.

New model could predict personalized waiting time for progression in colorectal cancer

An evolutionary model utilizing serial blood samples from patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with anti-EGFR therapies in a phase II trial could predict personalized waiting time for progression.

Novel approach reveals metabolic vulnerabilities in kidney cancer

In order to halt the growth of cancer cells, you have to know what feeds them. Researchers at the nationally recognized Kidney Cancer Program at UT Southwestern's Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a novel approach using glucose that may open up new opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

WVU dermatologist develops smartphone app to help medical students diagnose melanomas

A dermatologist may distinguish a mole from a tumor based on a glance, the way a cook can tell parsley from cilantro by sniffing it. But medical students don't have enough experience to make such intuitive diagnoses.

Researchers uncover why some cancers grow faster than others

University of Toronto researchers have uncovered why some cancers grow faster than others. The team led by Liliana Attisano, Professor in U of T's Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, has identified a protein called NUAK2, which is produced by cancer cells to boost their proliferation and whose presence in tumors is associated with poor disease prognosis.

Researchers discover reason why many bladder cancer patients do not respond to immunotherapy

Mount Sinai researchers have discovered that a particular type of cell present in bladder cancer may be the reason why so many patients do not respond to the groundbreaking class of drugs known as PD-1 and PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors, which enable the immune system to attack tumors.

Research shows proteomics can be used to predict evolution of triple negative breast cancer

The rarest, but also the most aggressive and hard to treat form of breast cancer, is known as triple negative. For this type of cancer, researchers have so far been unable to identify markers that can classify patients by prognosis or probability of responding to different treatments.

Researchers discover mechanism that steers growth of cancer cells in melanoma and liver cancer

Melanoma and liver cancer are becoming more widespread in Europe and the US. Whilst both diseases progress very differently, they are among the types of cancer which are most likely to be fatal in the Western world.

Study suggests new strategies for using cell metabolism to treat cancer

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine have discovered that cell metabolism plays an important role in the ability of cells to start a survival program called autophagy, an unwanted side effect of some anti-cancer drugs that helps some tumor cells dodge treatment and eventually regrow into new tumors.
