Radiotherapy has been a cornerstone of cancer treatment for decades, offering a targeted approach to treat tumors. Yet, as effective as it is, it often causes unwanted damage to neighboring healthy tissues—which can lead to many side-effects. But a new ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about the mechanism behind cancer progression. Researchers explored the influence the mechanical stiffening of the tumor cell's environment may have on the structure and function of the nucleus. In 2022 alone, over 20 ...

Microscopic sensors that are as thin as a strand of hair but capable of taking multiple measurements simultaneously could revolutionize the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases like cancer. Researchers from Adelaide University's Institute for Photonics and ...

Asymptomatic microscopic hematuria is an unreliable predictor of urothelial or renal malignancy, according to a Kaiser Permanente study of 2630 patients. The study was published online January 9, 2013, in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The researchers, led by ...

Even when cancer surgery goes well, it’s far from guaranteed that all the cancer has been removed. The excised tumor is sent to a pathology lab, which analyzes it under a microscope to estimate how much of the tumor may have been left behind. And what ...

A new study by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a hidden mechanism explaining why breast cancer can return many years after successful treatment. Published in Nature Communications,

This is a picture of two cancer cells splitting and dividing to become four cancer cells. Even though it looks stunning, I hate it. To think that those little clouds and wisps have so much power is just terrifying. Yahoo! Green actually has a whole set of ...

Microscopic fungus may have more to do with oral cancer and aging than first thought, according to new research from Case Western Reserve University. Pushpa Pandiyan, an associate professor of biological sciences at the dental school, led a team of local ...

When doctors suspect a malignant tumor or feel a suspicious growth, they can begin investigating for cancer with blood and urine tests. But to be certain a patient has cancer cells in his or her body, clinicians usually need to perform a biopsy. This means ...

Thirty-two people walked into a London hospital with operable bowel cancer. They received nine weeks of a single immunotherapy drug, pembrolizumab, before undergoing surgery. Nearly three years later,

Radiotherapy has been a cornerstone of cancer treatment for decades, offering a targeted approach to treat tumours. Yet, as effective as it is, it often causes unwanted damage to neighbouring healthy tissues – which can lead to many side-effects.
