Cancer research
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that sheds light on the spread of aggressive forms of bowel cancer, with cells able to "shapeshift" into skin or muscle cells to evade detection and treatment. This finding has crucial implications for the treatment of a rapidly increasing number of young
Cancer research
Research conducted by a team of scientists at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center has led to the development of a novel genetic mutation detection method for colon cancer diagnosis. The study, published in Biosensors, employed the fluorescence-based long block displacement amplification (LBDA) sensing method to identify KRAS mutations in colorectal
Cancer research
A recent study conducted in the United States explored the awareness and willingness of adults to undergo a colorectal cancer (CRC) screening blood test. The researchers aimed to assess the effectiveness of the blood test in increasing CRC screening participation. The study found that only 18.2% of participants were
Cancer research
Digital surgery is increasingly being used in the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer, driven by advancements in technology. A recent study from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust reviewed the scope of digital technologies, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), mobile health, and simulation, in
Cancer research
Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center have developed a comprehensive database of gene expression in lung cancer models, providing a valuable resource for the research community to investigate lung cancer biology. The Lung Cancer Autochthonous Model Gene Expression Database (LCAMGDB) contains 1,354 samples from 77 transcriptomic
Cancer research
Recent research published in the JTO Clinical and Research Reports by investigators from the Medical University of South Carolina has shed light on the early implementation of lung cancer screening in the United States. The study, which linked data from the American College of Radiology's Lung Cancer Screening

Researchers from Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran, have made a significant breakthrough in cancer gene therapy, demonstrating the potential of nanoliposomes in treating bladder cancer. A study published in Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports has shown that the inhibition of miR-21 and miR-373, two microRNAs involved in cancer
Cancer research
Researchers from Southern Medical University have discovered that anoikis resistance, a process by which cancer cells evade programmed cell death, plays a crucial role in the proliferation, metastasis, and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The study aimed to investigate the prognostic value and impact of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) on the
Cancer research
Research from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden has highlighted the impact of socioeconomic factors and urbanisation on participation in organised prostate cancer screening. In a study published in PLOS One, researchers examined the associations between neighbourhood characteristics and participation in a population-based organised prostate cancer testing (OPT) programme among
Cancer research
Research conducted at the General Hospital of Northern Theatre Command has shed light on the role of miR-1246 in the development of chemo-resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study found that miR-1246 levels were significantly higher in polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) than in the original cells, leading

Joanne B. Weidhaas, MD, PhD, MBM, a renowned expert in the field of cancer research, has made a groundbreaking discovery in predicting immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients undergoing anti-PD1 therapies. Weidhaas, a professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, has co-founded
