Carcinoma is cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.

Research finds new evidence about the mechanisms controlling skin repair and regeneration

As the air continues to dry and temperatures drop, the yearly battle against dry hands and skin has officially begun. New research from Northwestern University has found new evidence deep within the skin about the mechanisms controlling skin repair and renewal.

CoQ10 supplement could be a valuable complementary therapeutic option for various diseases

A study led by scientists from the University of Granada (UGR) has found that a supplement of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an essential molecule for life that is synthesized in the cells of our organs and tissues and is also acquired through diet, could constitute a valuable complementary therapeutic option in the treatment of certain mitochondrial diseases, colon cancer, thyroid carcinoma, and Crohn’s disease.

Study: NTRK fusions are far more frequently seen in pediatric tumors

In a large study of pediatric cancer patients, researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have analyzed the frequency, fusion partners, and clinical outcome of neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions, which are clinical biomarkers that identify patients suitable for treatment with FDA-approved TRK inhibitors.

Newly discovered biochemical pathway can protect cells from ferroptosis

The hallmarks of cancer include rapid cell-reproduction and metabolic activity. But these processes also lead to increased cellular stress and oxidation, and the risk of cell death.

ARID1A gene in ovarian cancer plays a role in the regulation of metabolism

Mutations that inactivate the ARID1A gene in ovarian cancer increase utilization of the glutamine amino acid making cancer cells dependent on glutamine metabolism, according to a study by The Wistar Institute published online in Nature Cancer.

Researchers investigate prognostic role of diversity of chromatin compartments in gynecological cancers

A novel marker might contribute to selecting high-risk stage I ovarian carcinoma patients for adjuvant chemotherapy and low-risk endometrial carcinoma patients for less extensive surgery.

Proteogenomics can help determine effective treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Proteogenomic analysis may offer new insight into matching cancer patients with an effective therapy for their particular cancer.

Repurposed drug can treat hearing loss in humans

According to the World Health Organization, around 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss, a number the organization projects will double by 2050 to affect 1 in 10 people.

Liver cancer cells cause stromal cells to secrete protein that enhances tumor growth

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), frequently seen in patients with liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol abuse or chronic viral hepatitis, is the most common form of liver cancer worldwide.

Researchers apply AI to help physicians customize treatments for patients with oral cancers

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and partners in the United States and India are applying the investigative and predictive capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to help physicians customize treatments for patients with oral squamous cell carcinomas.

Study reveals the role of SETD2 protein in cancer cells, cell migration, and autophagy

SETD2 is a protein well known as a chromatin remodeler, one that helps turn genes on or off by modifying histone proteins in the nucleus of the cell.

Study measures the effects of HIV infection on development of cervical cancer

A research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has quantified the effects of an infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) on the development of cervical cancer.

No added risks to radiation therapy for cancer patients with COVID-19, says study

A team of radiation oncologists at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in the United States aimed to determine if COVID-19 infected cancer patients receiving radiation therapy (RT) have any different outcome than non-infected patients.

FAT1 mutations act as tumor suppressor and prevent cancer development, indicates study

Cancer metastasis, which is the dissemination of tumor cells into distant organs, is the leading cause of mortality in cancer patients. To undergo metastasis, cells must leave the primary tumor, circulate into the blood, colonize distant organs, and form distant metastasis.
