New recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of brain metastases from solid tumors

Brain metastases are a common and dangerous complication in cancer patients. Under the leadership of experts from MedUni Vienna, two of the largest international oncology societies have published new clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of brain metastases from solid tumors.

New immunotherapy strategy can eliminate pancreatic tumors in mice

Pancreatic cancer, which affects about 60,000 Americans every year, is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. After diagnosis, fewer than 10 percent of patients survive for five years.

Scientists use AI to identify new biomarkers for breast cancer

Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to identify new biomarkers for breast cancer that can predict whether the cancer will return after treatment-;and which can be identified from routinely acquired tissue biopsy samples of early-stage breast cancer.

Researchers develop the most comprehensive molecular map of lung squamous cell carcinoma

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-associated death in the United States and worldwide. Patients with a subtype called lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have benefited from the development of new targeted medicines, but the search for effective new therapies for another subtype called lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has largely come up short.

Experimental drug combination extends survival in mice with lung cancer, study finds

A combination of experimental drugs increased the attack of immune cells on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to extend survival in mice, a new study found.

Covid renews interest in radiation, but docs caution against pilgrimages to radon-filled mines

Twice a year, Brian Tichenor makes the 1,200-mile drive each way from his home in Kansas to a defunct uranium mine in Montana, where he takes an elevator 85 feet below the surface to sit amid radioactive radon gas to ease the pain from his chronic eye condition.

Removing RNA-binding protein in subtype of leukemia can help to slow the cancer's development

Removing a protein that is often overexpressed in a rare and aggressive subtype of leukemia can help to slow the cancer's development and significantly increase the likelihood of survival, according to a study in mice led by scientists at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

CHEST releases new clinical guidelines for lung cancer screening

The American College of Chest Physicians recently released a new clinical guideline, Screening for Lung Cancer: CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report.

MET amplification identified as a potentially actionable driver for non-small cell lung cancer

A study led by D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, director of thoracic oncology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and CU Cancer Center member, has helped to define MET amplification as a rare but potentially actionable driver for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Study proves effectiveness of Artemisia annua against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro

A multinational research group has been the first to show the excellent activity of artemisinin-based treatment against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in human cell lines – including a specific type of lung cells. Their findings were recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Study elucidates the role of two isoforms of KRAS oncogenes

KRAS was one of the first oncogenes to be identified, a few decades ago. It is among the most common drivers of cancer and its mutations can be detected in around 25 per cent of human tumors.

MIT engineers create new diagnostic nanoparticle that can pinpoint tumor location

Most of the tests that doctors use to diagnose cancer -- such as mammography, colonoscopy, and CT scans -- are based on imaging. More recently, researchers have also developed molecular diagnostics that can detect specific cancer-associated molecules that circulate in bodily fluids like blood or urine.

16 Jul 2021

New online educational program on shared decision making in lung cancer screening

The American College of Chest Physicians and Thomas Jefferson University are launching a free online educational program titled "Shared Decision Making in Lung Cancer Screening" to assist healthcare workers with identifying eligible patients for lung cancer screening and helping patients make a well-informed decision about whether to be screened.

Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine effective and safe for use among cancer patients

Researchers in Israel have conducted a study showing that the use of Pfizer-BioNTech’s coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine appears to be safe and effective among patients with cancer.

11 Jul 2021

Stimulating immune cells to form special structures can potentiate pancreatic cancer chemotherapy

A new study from Queen Mary University of London has demonstrated that immune cells can be stimulated to assemble into special structures within pancreatic cancer such that, at least in a pre-clinical model, researchers can demonstrate an improvement in the efficacy of chemotherapy.
