Adenocarcinoma is cancer that begins in cells that line certain internal organs and that have gland-like (secretory) properties.

Lung cancer rates not declining as expected despite decrease in smoking

Despite the fact that the number of people who smoke has decreased very sharply in Sweden, the number of cases of lung cancer in the population is not decreasing as much as expected.

Study unveils link between oral bacteria and pancreatic cancer development in mice

New study unveils a significant connection between oral bacteria and pancreatic cancer development in mice and sheds light on a previously recognized link between oral health and pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of cancer.

Lactate's role in driving cancer cachexia uncovered

Study highlights the significant role of lactate in promoting cancer cachexia via activation of the adipose-specific G-protein-coupled receptor 81 (GPR81), suggesting new therapeutic targets for this condition.

MIT researchers develop new method to quickly screen cancer-associated genetic mutations

Tumors can carry mutations in hundreds of different genes, and each of those genes may be mutated in different ways -; some mutations simply replace one DNA nucleotide with another, while others insert or delete larger sections of DNA.

Study evaluates diet, exercise patterns among colorectal cancer patients with overweight/obesity

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease associated with the development of several other diseases, including cancer. The present study aims to evaluate the eating habits, physical activity, and clinical profiles of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with overweight/obesity.

New approach detects T cells in "cold" tumors, paves way for broader immunotherapy

Most cancers are thought to evade the immune system. These cancers don't carry very many mutations, and they aren't infiltrated by cancer-fighting immune cells. Scientists call these cancers immunologically "cold."

New lung cell atlas unveils pathways to lung adenocarcinoma development

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center built a new atlas of lung cells, uncovering new cellular pathways and precursors in the development of lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer.

GENERATE study: Remote genetic education boosts testing rates for inherited cancer risk

Even as it's become clear that an inherited susceptibility to some cancers is more common than once thought, genetic testing of family members of cancer patients hasn't increased as much as experts had hoped.

Green tea does not lower the risk of lung cancer

Whether green tea consumption was associated with a lower risk of lung cancer.

CPRIT awards MD Anderson 16 grants to support cancer research and prevention

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today was awarded 16 grants totaling over $25.5 million from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in support of cancer screening, early detection and prevention programs, faculty recruitment, and groundbreaking cancer research across all areas of the institution.

Enhancing survival in advanced pancreatic cancer with ablative MR-guided radiation therapy

A study co-led by researchers at Miami Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health South Florida, found that ablative stereotactic magnetic resonance (MR)-guided adaptive radiation therapy may improve local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) in patients with borderline resectable (BRPC) and locally advanced pancreas cancer (LAPC).

New breakthrough in pancreatic cancer research could help slow the disease's deadly spread

Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and the University of California, Davis have reached a new breakthrough in pancreatic cancer research-;eight years in the making. It could help slow the disease's deadly spread.

IPIAD augments standard therapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

A new research perspective was published in Oncoscience (Volume 11) on February 7, 2024, entitled, "IPIAD- an augmentation regimen added to standard treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using already-marketed repurposed drugs irbesartan, pyrimethamine, itraconazole, azithromycin, and dapsone."

New cervical cancer detection method promises to reduce unnecessary screenings

The BMC Medicine study introduces the CerMe detection method, using PCDHGB7 hypermethylation to effectively triage high-risk HPV-positive women, potentially reducing unnecessary colposcopy referrals.

New mouse model illuminates lung cancer's transformation into aggressive variant

Lung tumors called adenocarcinomas sometimes respond to initially effective treatments by transforming into a much more aggressive small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that spreads rapidly and has few options for treatment.

Targeting gene-fibroblast interaction offers hope for treatment-resistant colon cancer

A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 2, entitled, "PROX1 interaction with α-SMA-rich cancer-associated fibroblasts facilitates colorectal cancer progression and correlates with poor clinical outcomes and therapeutic resistance."
