Women of childbearing age are disproportionately affected by female cancers such as breast, cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancer. A recent study published in Translational Oncology concludes that human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are essential in preventing these cancers. The study estimates that the global incidence of breast, uterine, cervical, and ovarian

Fluorescence-guided surgery, also known as FGS, is a revolutionary technique that allows surgeons to see brain tumors more clearly during surgery. This innovative method uses special dyes that light up under special lights, making cancer cells more visible and helping surgeons remove more of the tumor while keeping healthy parts

Researchers at Ohio State University conducted a study to examine the effects of radiation therapy (RT) on bone density in patients with anorectal cancer. The study involved reviewing CT scans of 302 patients before and after RT, taking into account factors such as contrast agents and CT tube voltage. The

The FDA has recently updated the indication for Skysona, a gene therapy developed by bluebird bio, to restrict its use in patients who do not have an available human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donor for stem cell transplant. This decision comes after the agency expressed concerns about an increased risk

Investigators at the University of Tabriz have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the role of LncRNA ANRASSF1 in gastric cancer development. According to a recent study, the expression of LncRNA ANRASSF1 is significantly overexpressed in gastric tumors, suggesting its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer.
