Metastasis News and Research

RSS

Metastasis is the spread of cancer from one part of the body to another. A tumor formed by cells that have spread is called a “metastatic tumor” or a “metastasis.” The metastatic tumor contains cells that are like those in the original (primary) tumor. The plural form of metastasis is metastases

AI turns routine pathology slides into powerful maps of the tumor immune landscape

A large study shows that routine H&E pathology slides contain rich spatial proteomic signals that can be decoded by AI to model the tumor immune microenvironment at population scale. By generating virtual multiplex immunofluorescence images, GigaTIME enables pan-cancer discovery of immune patterns linked to invasion stage, survival, and genomic alterations.

AI-driven method uncovers genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression

University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments.

AI method could help clinicians accurately identify brain tumors and radiation necrosis

While targeted radiation can be an effective treatment for brain tumors, subsequent potential necrosis of the treated areas can be hard to distinguish from the tumors on a standard MRI.

Novel antibody suppresses primary tumor growth and spread of triple-negative breast cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant forms of breast cancer. It grows quickly, spreads early and lacks the hormone receptors that make other breast cancers treatable with targeted therapies.

Study uncovers strategy to sensitize estrogen receptor–positive breast tumors to immunotherapy

A study led by researchers at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute advances one of the most significant milestones in breast cancer treatment, making immunotherapy effective against the most common tumor type, estrogen receptor-positive or luminal breast cancer.

Breast cancer reshapes lymphatic vessels to support its spread

Breast cancer is able to modify the lymphatic vessels through which it travels to the draining lymph nodes. From there, it can then spread to other parts of the body.

Settling the creatine safety debate

Research confirms creatine's safety, highlighting misinformation and low-quality supplements as primary concerns over cancer and kidney health risks.

AI model ranks genetic variants from severe to mild disease mutations

popEVE combines evolutionary insights with human population data to identify damaging genetic mutations, improving variant scoring for rare diseases.

Obesity-driven estrone emerges as a key driver of deadly postmenopausal breast cancer

A new analysis of research into the most common type of breast cancer has zeroed in on an overlooked hormone that may be responsible for the increased risk of breast cancer death in post-menopausal women with obesity.

Hematological and biochemical indicators show growing value in breast cancer management

Breast cancer remains a predominant global health challenge for women, with late-stage diagnosis being a key contributor to its high mortality.

FOLFIRINOX shows promise as a second-line option for advanced biliary tract cancer

Biliary tract cancers, including intrahepatic, perihilar, and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder cancer, are among the most aggressive gastrointestinal malignancies.

Study shows one in ten young cancer patients develop metastatic recurrence

A new study of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with seven common cancers reveals that nearly one in ten patients diagnosed with non-metastatic disease later develop metastatic recurrence - a condition associated with significantly worse survival outcomes.

Study links higher glycemic index diets with increased lung cancer risk

In this study, researchers examined whether people who follow higher-GI or higher-GL diets have different risks of developing lung cancer.

Dexamethasone shows potential to fight therapy-resistant breast cancer metastases

The drug dexamethasone supplements cancer treatments to alleviate side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea or inflammation.

Blood group A linked to a higher risk of primary biliary cholangitis

Findings indicate blood group A elevates the risk of primary biliary cholangitis, suggesting ABO group analysis could aid in autoimmune liver disease diagnosis.

New light-based technology arranges cellular messengers with unprecedented precision

In stunning new time-lapse videos, biological nanoparticles scoot and flit across a starry field of glowing dots. Guided by the invisible chemistry of attraction, these microscopic travelers eventually group together to form perfectly round, glowing circles on a black surface.
