Study reveals progressive breast shrinkage after breast-conserving therapy

For women with early-stage breast cancer, breast-conserving therapy (BCT) including radiation therapy (RT) leads to progressive reduction in breast size over time, reports a study in the April issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Inhibition of tumor xenograft growth in mice without systemic toxicity

The management of breast cancer involves various therapeutic approaches. However, many current anticancer treatments indiscriminately damage both cancerous and healthy cells. In cancer treatment, Streptomycetes have already been proven as the main resources producing anti-cancer drugs. Streptomyces coelicolor is a representative of the genus Streptomyces.

Novel insights into tumor microenvironment and gastric cancer therapy

A team of Singapore scientists has made a significant discovery in understanding stomach cancer, a disease that remains one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. By using advanced mapping technologies, they created a detailed "atlas" of stomach tumors, revealing hidden patterns in how cancer cells behave, evolve and interact with their environment. These insights could lead to more precise, targeted treatments that improve survival rates and reduce side effects.
