Radiolabeled protein lights up tumor to reveal where cancer drugs are working

Experimenting with mice, Johns Hopkins researchers report they have successfully used positron emission tomography scans to calculate in real time how much of an immunotherapy drug reaches a tumor and what parts of a cancer remain unaffected.

Study finds novel opportunity for treating subgroup of cancer patients with MSI-H tumors

Researchers have identified a protein critical for the survival of a particular type of tumor cell, according to a study published today in eLife.

Prostate cancer cells 'spit out' a protein that promotes tumor growth

Prostate cancer cells change the behavior of other cells around them, including normal cells, by 'spitting out' a protein from their nucleus, new research has found.

People with and without cancer use different dosages of cannabis formulations, study shows

People with and without cancer are more likely, over time, to use a more potent form of medical marijuana with increasingly higher amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol, a new study shows.

Understanding genetic interactions holds key to new personalized therapies

When the Human Genome Project was completed, in 2003, it opened the door to a radical new idea of health - that of personalized medicine, in which disease risk and appropriate treatment would be gleaned from one's genetic makeup.

High-fructose corn syrup fuels growth of colon tumors in mice

Consuming the equivalent of one can of soda per day caused mice predisposed to colon cancer to develop larger tumors, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators.

Selective destruction of prostate tumor as effective as complete prostate removal

Researchers from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, led by prostate cancer treatment pioneer Dr. Eric Walser, have shown that selectively destroying cancerous prostate tissue is as effective as complete prostate removal or radiation therapy while preserving more sexual and urinary function than the other treatments.

GARP protein can be a potential target for immunotherapy against colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women. Despite significant advances in therapies for this particular cancer, the five-year survival rate is 12 percent, according to the American Cancer Society.

Hormonal treatment associated with depression in men with prostate cancer

Men who receive anti-hormonal treatment after having their prostate removed are 80% more likely to suffer from depression than men who don't receive this treatment. This leads researchers to suggest that patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy should be monitored for post-surgical depression.

Study highlights the need for psychiatric care to be integrated into cancer treatment

Patients with prostate, bladder or kidney cancers are at greater risk of dying if they have had psychiatric care prior to the cancer treatment. In addition, patients with these cancers show greater suicide risk than the general population, even once the data is corrected for previous psychiatric care.

Compounds found in coffee may inhibit growth of prostate cancer

For the first time, scientists have identified compounds found in coffee which may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer. This is a pilot study, carried out on drug-resistant cancer cells in cell culture and in a mouse model; it has not yet been tested in humans.

Testosterone treatment lowers recurrence rates in low-risk prostate cancer patients

In the largest such study so far undertaken, US researchers have shown that testosterone replacement slows the recurrence of prostate cancer in low-risk patients.
