Cleveland Clinic awarded $12 million NIH grant to define how cytokines regulate inflammation

Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute was awarded a five-year $12 million grant by the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, to define how cytokines - proteins produced during immune response - regulate inflammation and interact with cells and molecules surrounding tumors.

Novel nanotechnology triggers potent therapeutic anti-tumor immune responses against multiple cancers

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has developed a novel nanotechnology that triggers potent therapeutic anti-tumor immune responses and demonstrated its efficacy in mouse models of multiple cancers.

Overall cancer death rates continue to decline in the United States, says Annual Report to the Nation

Overall cancer death rates continued to decline among men, women, children, and adolescents and young adults in every major racial and ethnic group in the United States from 2015 to 2019, according to the latest Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer. From 2014 to 2018, overall cancer incidence, or new cases of cancer, remained stable for men and children but increased for women and adolescents and young adults.

Research opens up new avenues for overcoming treatment resistance in colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers. Its treatment is mainly based on chemotherapy. However, over time, chemotherapy induces resistance in the majority of patients, who end up being unresponsive to the drugs.

Minorities with common form of lung cancer face longer wait times for receiving radiation therapy

A new study has revealed significant racial disparities in how quickly minorities with the most common form of lung cancer receive potentially lifesaving radiation therapy compared with their white counterparts.

AI model predicts the likelihood of unplanned hospitalization during radiation treatments for cancer

An artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by researchers can predict the likelihood that a patient may have an unplanned hospitalization during their radiation treatments for cancer.

Scientists discover molecular link between lung tumor growth and disrupted circadian rhythms

Scientists discovered an important molecular link between lung tumor growth and disrupted circadian rhythms, according to a new paper co-authored by a University of Rochester Wilmot Cancer Institute investigator and led by the Scripps Research Institute in California.

Study identifies gene mutations that impact radiation resistance and sensitivity

A new Northwestern Medicine study identifies common and rare gene mutations that impact radiation resistance and sensitivity, an important step toward providing more individualized and effective radiotherapy for patients with cancer.

Electronic nose can distinguish between people with and without lung cancer

Is it possible to detect lung cancer by smelling the air that someone exhales? Sharina Kort, lung specialist in training at MST, recently earned a PhD from the University of Twente based on her research into that topic.

Bioinformatics analysis of monkeypox virus-host cell interactions

A recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server reported the interaction between monkeypox and human cells. Molecular sequences were screened to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their associated signal pathway, expression regulation, and metabolic pathways.

BU researcher awarded $4.6 million U2C grant to develop innovative lung cancer biomarkers

Lung cancer screening by chest computed tomography (CT) can detect lung cancer earlier and make the disease less deadly; but even among nodules that are at intermediate risk, only a small minority are cancerous.

Review on COVID-19 biomedical waste-derived microplastic toxicity

In a new study, researchers reviewed existing literature on the biomedical waste source, elements, and the recent upsurge of microplastics during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

AI model could be used to enable more effective care for skin cancer patients

The artificial intelligence model could be utilized to enable more effective care for skin cancer patients and could lead to similar breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of other cancers.

Discovery opens up new approaches to personalized treatment for small cell lung cancer

Small cell lung cancer is a particularly aggressive tumor, which has so far been treated with standardized measures.

6 Oct 2022

Northwestern Medicine scientists discover new gene target for aggressive lung cancer

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified and described a new gene that is responsible for activating an aggressive subtype of small-cell lung cancer, the P subtype, for which there is no current effective treatment.

Black women more likely to die from breast cancer despite lower incidence, ACS report finds

While breast cancer death rates dropped by 43% from 1989 to 2020, Black women continue to be 40% more likely to die from the disease despite lower incidence.

Eligibility criteria lack clarity, justification for excluding people with disabilities from clinical trials

Despite constituting the largest minority group in the U.S. and expressing interest in participating in clinical trials, people with disabilities remain excluded.

Changes in temperature may be behind the link between circadian disruption and cancer

Disruptions in circadian rhythm - the ways that our bodies change in response to the 24-hour light and dark cycle - have been linked to many different diseases, including cancer.
