Cancer patients rarely die from the primary tumor but rather from the metastases – even after successful tumor surgery.

The key to mRNA vaccines appears to be proteins in the pancreatic tumors, which alert the immune system to keep the cancer at bay.

One characteristic of cancer cells is their high adaptability to different environments in the body and to drug treatments.

Intense aerobic exercise increases the glucose (sugar) consumption of internal organs, thereby reducing the availability of energy to tumors

Test is proficient in detecting and classifying cell-free DNA, or tumor byproducts deposited in the bloodstream of a person with cancer.

Doctors in the UK hope that thousands of men with prostate cancer could be cured through an innovative hour-long operation.

As a part of our immune defences, cytotoxic T cells – or killer T cells – seek out and destroy cells that are infected or cancerous.

The MSK clinical trial was investigating — for the first time ever — if immunotherapy alone could beat rectal cancer that had not spread.

A common respiratory virus, called adenovirus, to act like a Trojan horse to deliver genes for cancer therapeutics directly into tumor cells

Scientists have discovered a rare gene in the tumors of some colorectal cancer patients which could lead to more personalized treatments.

Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer are often treated with drugs that activate their immune system against the tumor.

A small molecule inhibitor that attacks the difficult to target, cancer-causing gene mutation KRAS, found in nearly 30 % of all human tumors

To make new cells, we have to divide existing ones. This is a continuous, frequent and ubiquitous process which starts at conception.

Researchers have discovered a rapid and sustainable way to synthetically produce a promising cancer-fighting compound right in the lab.

These findings provide a promising basis for developing effective medications for glioblastoma, an aggressive, and thus far incurable cancer

In the new JEM study, teams used a computer-based screening approach to identify a drug, named C26, that activates NR2F1.

A trial in people with high hereditary risk of a wide range of cancers has shown a major preventive effect from resistant starches.

Researchers successfully detect lung cancer in more than 80% of liver cancers in a new study of 724 people at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center.

RNA, the molecule that gave rise to life, has been shown to be essential for repairing human genetic material and preventing mutations.

Researchers have developed a synthetic molecule that combines a tumor-targeting agent with another molecule that triggers immune activation.
