Study evaluates first tumor-uninformed ctDNA assay to detect residual cancer cells after treatment

After patients with cancer undergo surgery to remove a tumor and sometimes additional chemotherapy, tools are used to identify patients at highest risk of recurrence.

Medicare could save nearly $500 million per year by reducing use of low-value preventive care services

A UCLA-led study shows that physicians frequently order preventive medical services for adult Medicare beneficiaries that are considered unnecessary and of "low value" by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force - at a cost of $478 million per year.

New exosome-based therapeutic strategy to potentially treat late-stage colorectal cancer

In a recent discovery by University of Minnesota Medical School, researchers uncovered a new way to potentially target and treat late-stage colorectal cancer - a disease that kills more than 50,000 people each year in the United States.

Topical therapy can help safely reduce side effect of cancer treatment

Patients with advanced colorectal cancer may be spared from a toxic side effect caused by a type of targeted therapy used to treat the cancer with the help of another drug normally used to treat melanoma, according to a study led by researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Researchers suggest new approach to build a 'nanopore' biosensor for detecting specific molecules

Researchers have spent more than three decades developing and studying miniature biosensors that can identify single molecules. In five to 10 years, when such devices may become a staple in doctors' offices, they could detect molecular markers for cancer and other diseases and assess the effectiveness of drug treatment to fight those illnesses.

NUS study identifies protein that could be targeted to overcome chemoresistance in cancer

Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cancer cells in the body. It is a systemic treatment where drugs travel throughout the body and destroy cancer cells that have spread (metastasized) to parts of the body far away from the original (primary) tumor.

New AI-driven diagnostics technique could transform treatment for bowel cancer

A test which uses artificial intelligence to measure proteins present in some patients with advanced bowel cancer could hold the key to more targeted treatment, according to research published today.

Interleukin 11-producing fibroblasts can be potential therapeutic targets for treating colorectal cancer

IL-11 is known to promote the development of colorectal cancer in humans and mice, but when and where IL-11 is expressed during cancer development is unknown.

New blood-based test detects lymph node metastasis in individuals with high-risk T1 colorectal cancer

Scientists at City of Hope, a world-renowned independent research and treatment center for cancer and diabetes, have developed a novel, noninvasive liquid biopsy test for detecting lymph node metastasis in individuals with high-risk T1 colorectal carcinoma.

1 in 6 patients with colorectal cancer found to have inherited genetic mutations

A new Mayo Clinic study bolsters evidence that colorectal cancer is often imprinted in family genes and passed on from one generation to the next.

Young early-onset colorectal cancer patients have a better survival rate, study shows

New research by Yale Cancer Center shows patients with early-onset colorectal cancer, age 50 and younger, have a better survival rate than patients diagnosed with the disease later in life.

FDA approves marketing of first AI-based device to assist clinicians during colon cancer screening

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized marketing of the GI Genius, the first device that uses artificial intelligence (AI) based on machine learning to assist clinicians in detecting lesions (such as polyps or suspected tumors) in the colon in real time during a colonoscopy.

Mitochondrial DNA mutations can reduce death risk in people with bowel cancer

Mutations in the DNA of the cell's energy 'factories' increases the chances of survival for people with bowel cancer, according to a study published today (Thursday) in Nature Metabolism.

A collaborative effort to evaluate treatment of liver and pancreatic tumors

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and TriSalus Life Sciences today announced a strategic research collaboration to evaluate the treatment of tumors of the pancreas and liver by integrating interventional delivery of SD-101.

Researchers explore link between intestinal microbiota with colon cancer in patients with Lynch Syndrome

The researcher Gabriela Debesa, member of the research group at Simbiosis led by Andrés Moya at the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of Valencia Region (Fisabio), studied the relationship of the intestinal microbiota with colon cancer in patients with Lynch Syndrome (a hereditary illness that predisposes the development of cancer) using tissue samples in formalin and conserved in paraffin.

New modeling approach to better understand how tumors become aggressive

Although the development of secondary cancerous growths, called metastasis, is the primary cause of death in most cancers, the cellular changes that drive it are poorly understood.

Long-term, regular use of baby aspirin may reduce risk of colorectal cancer death

Long-term, regular use of baby aspirin - at least 15 times per month - prior to a diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) may reduce the risk of death from the disease by limiting the spread of cancerous tumors pre-diagnosis, according to a study led by Cedars-Sinai Cancer researchers.

High-fiber diet can significantly alter the gut microbiome and nutrient intake

A short-term intervention in daily fiber consumption can significantly alter the gut microbiome and nutrient intake, according to a study led by University of California, Irvine researchers. The research was recently published by the American Society for Microbiology.

‘Incredibly concerning’ lawsuit threatens no-charge preventive care for millions

With a challenge to the Affordable Care Act still pending at the Supreme Court, conservatives are continuing to launch legal attacks on the law, including a case in which a Texas federal judge seems open to ending the requirement that most Americans must receive preventive services like mammograms free of charge.
