Large-scale comparative study of cancer trends in China and the USA

Cancer is currently the most common cause of death in most developed countries around the world. In the USA, comprehensive progress in cancer research, prevention, and care has resulted in reduced rates of cancer since the 1990s, indicating that these strategies could also benefit other countries, such as China, where the cancer burden is steadily increasing.

Scientists create a biobank of 87 triple-negative breast cancer organoids

It's the cancer version of "mini me." Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor David Spector, among others, has developed organoids, which are miniature, three-dimensional copies of cancers. Organoids can be derived from cancer or healthy cells.

Exercise elicits benefits to breast cancer patients’ physical and mental health

Exercise helps breast cancer patients with the physical and mental side effects of treatment, a new Loughborough University study has found, and ultimately it may improve disease prognosis.

Study: False positive mammograms are common after a decade of annual breast cancer screening

A study led by UC Davis Health has found that half of all women will experience at least one false-positive mammogram over a decade of annual breast cancer screening with digital breast tomosynthesis (3D mammography).

Study uncovers a gene that strongly associates with breast cancer patient's treatment outcomes

A multidisciplinary team of researchers from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and Kaiser Permanente Northern California have identified the first pharmacogenomic marker for anthracyclines and HER2-targeting drugs, two commonly used breast cancer chemotherapies.

Biomarker testing in lung cancer patients has increased in real-world clinical practice, study reveals

More than half of patients diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergo biomarker testing, and this figure has increased over the last five years, reveal real-world data from a Spanish national registry study reported at the European Lung Cancer Congress, 30 March-2 April 2022.

Scientists reveal how 911 DNA checkpoint clamp helps repair the damaged DNA

When something goes wrong during DNA replication, cells call their own version of 911 to pause the process and fix the problem -; a failsafe that is critical to maintaining health and staving off disease.

New computational approach creates spatial maps of single-cell data within tissues

A new computational approach developed by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center successfully combines data from parallel gene-expression profiling methods to create spatial maps of a given tissue at single-cell resolution.

New approach radically increases the success of breast cancer immunotherapy

A study published in the journal Nature Cancer, carried out within the Cancer Programme at the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM-Hospital del Mar) by the Cancer Stem Cells and Metastasis Dynamics Laboratory, led by Dr. Toni Celià-Terrassa, and the Laboratory of Molecular Cancer Therapy, coordinated by Dr. Joan Albanell, with the participation of international centers, has discovered an approach that radically increases the success of immunotherapy in one of the most aggressive types of tumors, triple-negative breast cancer.
