Harvesting hidden information in chest X-rays using AI to predict mortality

The most frequently performed imaging exam in medicine "the chest X-ray" holds 'hidden' prognostic information that can be harvested with artificial intelligence, according to a study by scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Mathematical model helps quantify metastatic cell behavior

Cancer metastasis is a difficult stage to battle, especially if cancer cells are proliferating at a rapid pace. A new study reveals that metastatic cells change their shape to spread to other parts of the body. Researchers formulated a mathematical model to study metastatic cell behavior and similar cellular systems.

MGH researchers identify potential markers of lung cancer

By examining both blood samples and tumor tissues from patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital have identified markers that can distinguish between major subtypes of lung cancer and can accurately identify lung cancer stage.

Alternate cell growth pathway could open door to new treatments for metastatic cancers

While researchers have a basic understanding of how primary cancer cells grow, less is known about metastasis, the deadly process by which cancers spread.

Adding immunotherapy after initial treatment improves survival in metastatic NSCLC patients

Treating metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab after they've completed locally ablative therapy – meaning all known sites of their cancer were either treated with surgery, radiation, or other definitive treatments – almost tripled the median progression-free survival compared to the historical average.

Researchers identify potential drug target for multiple cancer types

A research team headed by scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at UC San Diego has identified an enzyme involved in remodeling the plasma membrane of multiple cancer cell types that is critical to both survival of tumors and their uncontrolled growth.

A metabolic intermediate in the uronic acid pathway impairs lung cancer metastasis

In a study published online in Nature on June 26, research teams led by Dr. YANG Weiwei at the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr. LI Guohui from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of CAS reported a new function of uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose), a metabolic intermediate in the uronic acid pathway: It impairs lung cancer metastasis by accelerating SNAI1 mRNA decay.
