Research has shed light on the challenges faced by survivors of thyroid cancer with distant metastasis. A study conducted by Yonsei University Health System in South Korea investigated the experiences of 21 survivors of thyroid cancer with distant metastasis, finding that they experienced significant physical and psychological challenges, including pain,
Cancer research
Researchers from the University of Delaware have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the development of prostate cancer, discovering that Tgfb1 and Rgd molecules cooperatively regulate Smad2/3-mediated oncogenic effects in prostate cancer cells grown in bio-orthogonally constructed hydrogels. This study sheds light on the complex mechanisms of tumor progression
Cancer research
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have made significant strides in the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer spinal metastases using stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). According to a recent study published in the Journal of Neuro-Oncology, SBRT has shown promise in providing effective local tumor control and pain palliation with
Cancer research
Researchers at Medipol University conducted a retrospective analysis on 49 patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received first-line pembrolizumab, either as a single agent or in combination with chemotherapy. The study aimed to investigate the prognostic and predictive significance of Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) expression in patients with

Thyroid cancer is a prevalent endocrine malignancy where early detection is critical for effective patient management. Researchers at the Academy of Romanian Scientists have integrated machine learning into thyroid cancer research to overcome the limitations of conventional diagnostic and monitoring approaches. By leveraging clinical data, electronic medical records, and synthesized
Cancer metastasis
The combination of talazoparib (Talzenna) and enzalutamide (Xtandi) has been found to improve overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), according to a press release on findings from the phase 3 TALAPRO-2 trial. The experimental combination significantly improved OS compared to enzalutamide monotherapy in both cohorts
Cancer
A new study by researchers at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) at Columbia University suggests that the ketogenic diet, a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, may increase the risk of tumor metastasis, particularly in breast cancer. The researchers found that mice fed with a ketogenic diet experienced significantly more lung
Cancer metastasis
Recent research from Centre Eugene Marquis in Rennes, France, has shed light on the effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The study, published in Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases, aimed to summarize evidence on SBRT in CRPC and found that it can
Cancer metastasis
Children in developing countries face a high burden of advanced and metastatic cancer, with limited access to palliative care services. A recent study from the Regional Cancer Center in Kerala, India, analyzed the palliative care requirements for children with metastatic neuroblastoma (NB) and evaluated the current palliative care services offered.
