1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (520+ words) A new study is challenging one of the most common assumptions in the fast-growing field of biological aging research: that the different blood tests used to measure how fast a person is aging are, at some level, measuring the same…...

1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (617+ words) A landmark multi-institution study has revealed that the neighborhood a patient with metastatic breast cancer lives in may be written into the biology of the tumor itself....

1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (431+ words) Photodynamic therapy, or PDT, has long been regarded as a precisely local cancer treatment: a photosensitizing drug is delivered to a tumor, light of a specific wavelength activates it, and the resulting reactive oxygen species destroy the illuminated cells....

1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (625+ words) A team of researchers at Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center has unveiled a new computational framework that captures how tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells change their functional identities across many types of cancer....

1+ day, 3+ hour ago   (707+ words) Prostate cancer remains one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in the world, and a new large-scale analysis from Brazil is shedding fresh light on which patients are most at risk of dying from the disease....

1+ day, 3+ hour ago   (69+ words) Small-cell lung cancer has long been one of oncology’s most punishing adversaries. It grows with astonishing speed, spreads early, and presents a treatment paradox that has frustrated clinicians for decades: at diagnosis, tumors melt away under platinum-based chemotherapy, yet relapse…...

1+ day, 4+ hour ago   (101+ words) Higher income has long been treated as a reliable shield against chronic disease, but a sweeping new analysis of female breast cancer survivors in the United States suggests that this protection is anything but uniform. Drawing on four years of…...

1+ day, 5+ hour ago   (55+ words) Immune checkpoint inhibitors have rewritten the outlook for some patients with gastrointestinal cancers, turning once uniformly fatal diagnoses into manageable chronic conditions for a fortunate minority. Yet for every dramatic response there are many more patients whose tumours barely flinch,…...

1+ day, 5+ hour ago   (758+ words) Scientists in Japan have taken one of the most detailed looks yet at how large-scale genome disruption inside tumor cells may quietly rewire the immune landscape around them, and their findings could help explain why some cancers mount virtually no…...
