Researchers identify biomarkers for checkpoint inhibitor-induced hyperprogression of melanoma cells

Duke Cancer Institute researchers have identified potential biomarkers that predict the likelihood for checkpoint inhibitor drugs to backfire, driving hyper-progression of melanoma cells instead of unleashing the immune system to fight them.

Researchers discover new option to target the metastatic capacity of melanoma cells

As an extremely aggressive form of skin cancer, cutaneous melanoma is still associated with a high mortality rate. Enormous progress has recently been made in the fight against deadly metastasis, but existing therapeutic measures are still not effective in many cases.

AI model predicts patient outcomes across multiple cancer types

Investigators from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on epigenetic factors that is able to predict patient outcomes successfully across multiple cancer types.

High BMI in late teens linked to higher risk of 17 different cancers later in life

Men who are overweight or obese at age 18 have a higher risk of 17 different cancers later in life. This has been shown in a study at the University of Gothenburg.

Atlas of cancer's hidden rules: Unveiling the transcriptomic and epigenetic secrets across 11 tumors

Researchers have mapped the complex epigenetic and transcriptomic landscape of cancer, revealing key regulatory elements across 11 tumor types that could unlock new insights into cancer progression and metastasis.

New drug shows promise in killing cancer cells with genetic vulnerability

Imagine the body's cells are well-behaved students in the classroom. The "teachers" are tumor suppressor genes, and they make sure cells follow the rules. But when tumor suppressor genes are away, cells may go astray.

The sunscreen paradox: individuals with higher levels of sun exposure use more but not an adequate quantity of sunscreen

Researchers investigated the variables contributing to the varying frequency of melanoma in the Atlantic provinces of Canada to improve understanding of participants' attitudes toward exposure to the sun and inform public health guidelines related to CM prevention.

Study highlights a “sunscreen paradox” and the false sense of security against skin cancer

Sunscreen usage is climbing, but so are melanoma and skin cancer rates: this, researchers say, is the sunscreen paradox.

AI-assisted smartphone app performs well in skin cancer diagnosis

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already widely used in medical diagnostics. An Austrian-Australian research team led by dermatologist Harald Kittler from MedUni Vienna investigated the extent to which diagnosis and therapy of pigmented skin lesions benefit from it in a realistic clinical scenario.

Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab achieves major pathologic response in more than half of patients with resectable melanoma

In exploratory analyses of results from the SWOG S1801 trial in patients with stage III-IV resectable melanoma, researchers saw a major pathologic response in more than half of surgical specimens taken from patients who had been treated with neoadjuvant (pre-operative) pembrolizumab.

"Two-for-one" cancer immunotherapy more effective and at least as safe as standard treatments

A "two-for-one" cancer immunotherapy is potentially more effective and at least as safe as standard immunotherapies, physician-scientists from UPMC Hillman Cancer Center who led an international, early-phase clinical trial report today in the journal Nature Medicine.
