GUK1 enzyme plays crucial role in lung cancer metabolism and growth

Lung cancer is a particularly challenging form of cancer. It often strikes unexpectedly and aggressively with little warning, and it can shapeshift in unpredictable ways to evade treatment.

Ariceum Therapeutics receives FDA’s Orphan Drug Designation for targeted radionuclide cancer treatment

Ariceum Therapeutics (Ariceum), a private biotech company developing radiopharmaceutical products for the diagnosis and treatment of certain hard-to-treat cancers, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to 225Ac-SSO110 (satoreotide) for the treatment of patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC).

Researchers discover strategy to slow brain metastases growth in melanoma

Brain metastases are one of the most severe complications of melanoma, the most aggressive type of skin cancer. Researchers at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) in Elche, have identified a strategy to slow their progression, which could improve the response to current treatments.

Cancer incidence and deaths still higher in Appalachia despite progress

Fewer people than before are being diagnosed with and dying from cancer in Appalachia, but cancer incidence and death rates remain substantially higher, especially in certain areas of Central Appalachia, compared to elsewhere in the U.S.

Microbes in your gut could determine cancer treatment outcomes

Researchers reveal that gut microbiota influence the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer treatment, with specific bacterial strains enhancing or inhibiting anti-tumor immunity.

4 Feb 2025

Researchers develop model to identify tumor-fighting immune cells in lung cancer patients

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

3 Feb 2025

Study could help predict treatment response for KRASG12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer

A new study from Moffitt Cancer Center could help doctors predict how well patients with a specific type of lung cancer will respond to new therapies.

31 Jan 2025

New AI approach enhances personalized medicine in cancer care

Personalized medicine aims to tailor treatments to individual patients. Until now, this has been done using a small number of parameters to predict the course of a disease.
