In a groundbreaking study on mice, researchers have discovered that common respiratory infections, such as COVID, the flu, and other viral infections, can re-awaken dormant breast cancer cells, leading to a surge in cancer activity. This finding has significant implications for breast cancer survivors, as it suggests that protecting themselves
Cancer research
Breast cancer survivors live in constant fear of recurrence, with most relapses and metastatic cancers triggered by sleeper cancer cells that suddenly awake. For a long time, scientists have searched for the triggers that make these cells spring back to life. New research reveals that common respiratory infections, such as

Research conducted at the Iran University of Medical Sciences has compared the effectiveness of 68Ga-Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in delineating the gross tumor volume (GTV) in prostate cancer (PCa). The study aimed to investigate the role of
Cancer research
A recent study published in Science China Life Sciences has revealed a crucial role for SAE1, a protein involved in protein SUMOylation, in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers found that SAE1 promotes metastasis by stabilizing N-cadherin, a protein involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and is highly
Cancer research
A new study published in Cancers highlights the importance of proactive health maintenance for patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). The research, conducted by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, emphasizes the need for age-appropriate cancer screenings, routine immunizations, and lifestyle modifications to prevent infections and second primary

A nationwide retrospective study published in Eurosurveillance has investigated the prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) cervical infections in France. The research compared the prevalence of HPV16 and/or 18, and other carcinogenic HPV genotypes between opportunistic screening and the national screening program. The study found that opportunistic screening was
