Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed type of cancer worldwide. Up to 80% of the cases are related to environmental factors and lifestyle, such as poor diet, sedentarism, obesity, smoking or ...

A leading oncologist proposes classifying metastatic cancer by molecular alterations rather than organ origin, arguing that the shift could accelerate drug access.

Colorectal - colon or rectal - cancer is the third most diagnosed type of cancer worldwide. Up to 80% of the cases are related to environmental factors and lifestyle, such as poor diet, sedentarism, ...

Cancer’s deadliest talent is not rapid growth but the ability to sidestep the internal programs that should make damaged cells self-destruct. Across multiple labs, researchers are now converging on a ...

A newly discovered gene switch may help turn chemotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer into a treatable disease.

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have identified a molecular "switch" that determines whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it—a finding that could help convert some ...

A receptor involved in normal physiological processes may also drive breast cancer growth when overexpressed.

In a preclinical study, researchers found tamoxifen encourages uterine cell growth; the findings could change how some breast cancers are treated in the future. Studies show that people receiving ...

Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...
