When lung cancer treatment stops working, what happens next? New research reveals the answer may depend on how the cancer grows. Medical researchers at Flinders University have uncovered an important ...

We are what we eat. While both the beneficial and detrimental effects of diet on health are well-documented, from boosting ...

Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at Princeton University conducted a study to find out what patients diagnosed with ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

As brain tumors grow, they must do one of two things: push against the brain or use finger-like extensions to invade and destroy surrounding tissue. Previous research found tumors that push — or put ...

The Y chromosome is among the smallest in the human body and carries the fewest genes. Researchers are paying renewed attention to its role in cancer—specifically, what happens when it vanishes.

New research has revealed that a single session of weight training can help fight breast cancer. Researchers at Edith Cowan University in Australia investigated how resistance training and ...

When cancer cells begin to die within tumors, they expose signals on their surface that indicate they are dying. Macrophages then detect these signals and engage in phagocytosis, where they eat the ...

Cancer diagnoses traditionally require invasive or labor-intensive procedures such as tissue biopsies. Researchers at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) have now reported on a method ...
