Study reveals tumor defense mechanisms in colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. In recent years, immunotherapies-treatments that reactivate the immune system to attack tumor cells-have transformed the treatment of many types of cancer.

Research shows reluctance among obstetricians to refer pregnant patients to allergy specialists

Many pregnant women experience allergies, asthma, or reactions to medications - conditions that can affect both mother and baby if not carefully managed. Yet new research presented at the 2025 American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests a reluctance among obstetricians to refer their pregnant patients to allergy specialists, even when a referral could help improve care.

New combination treatment overcomes resistance in ER positive breast cancer

In preclinical studies, researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, have tested a new combination therapy for hormone-resistant, estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer and were able to shrink tumors, reduce the number of cancer stem cells and reprogram the immune environment to be less supportive of cancer growth.
