Expansion of intermediate cells in prostate cancer correlates with treatment resistance and poor outcomes

Researchers have characterised prostate cancer cell dynamics at a single-cell resolution across the timespan of the disease – from its beginning to the point of androgen independence, where the tumour no longer responds to hormone deprivation therapy.

Study: Only 30% of people with neuroendocrine tumors consider living longer as top priority

New research from cancer research and treatment organization City of Hope in the December 2022 issue of JNCCN-;Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network finds that only 30% of patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) say their top goal for treatment is living longer.

Cambridge scientists develop a comprehensive tool for predicting individual's risk of prostate cancer

Cambridge scientists have created a comprehensive tool for predicting an individual's risk of developing prostate cancer, which they say could help ensure that those men at greatest risk will receive the appropriate testing while reducing unnecessary – and potentially invasive – testing for those at very low risk.

Discovery of cellular uptake pathway for larger molecules can be harnessed to create new drugs

A fundamental challenge in drug development is the balance between optimizing a drug's lock-and-key fit with its target and the drug's ability to make its way across the cellular membrane and access that target.

New method can easily detect multiple types of cancers

When cancer is detected at an early stage, the rates of survival increase drastically, but today only a few cancer types are screened for.

New project aims to address the vast data-related problems in cancer research

The National Cancer Institute has awarded $10.5 million to the Division of Biostatistics at the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.

Study provides novel therapeutic targets for enhancing the antitumor immunity of γδ-T cells in diabetes

A research team at LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) discovered that high glucose impairs the antitumor activity of immune effector γδ-T cells, which contributes to the increased cancer risk in diabetes and that metabolic reprogramming by glucose control may improve the antitumor activity of γδ-T cells.

New guidelines for designing synthetic molecules that block interaction between two proteins

Inside cells, proteins constantly interact with each other to carry out different functions. For some diseases in which these functions are altered, blocking the binding between two or more proteins emerges as a possible therapeutic approach.

Study identifies risk factors that increase Black men's susceptibility to early-onset prostate cancer

A family history of cancer and genetic variants that might be inherited appear to be important risk factors for Black men diagnosed with early-onset prostate cancer, a study involving Duke Health researchers has found.

Blood tests may be able to guide treatment discussions for patients with metastatic cancer

As cancers grow and potentially spread to new parts of the body, they often shed cells and DNA into the blood stream. DNA can be analyzed for both the amount of DNA present and whether any potential mutations exist that may aid providers in deciding on treatments.

Deep learning model uses a single chest X-ray to predict heart disease risk

Researchers have developed a deep learning model that uses a single chest X-ray to predict the 10-year risk of death from a heart attack or stroke, stemming from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Researchers highlight the importance of localizing BRCA gene mutations for better ovarian cancer treatment

Mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are inherited by 1 in 400 and 1 in 800 people respectively, significantly increase the risk of certain cancers such as ovarian, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancer.

Two studies emphasize the need for ethnically diverse prostate cancer genetic testing

More than 1.4 million men were diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020 globally, but the molecular characteristics of the disease remain unexplored for the majority of patients around the world.

Did the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbate existing racial discrepancies in the diagnosis of different cancers?

Researchers investigated whether disparities in the presentation of late-stage prostate, lung, colorectal, and breast cancers associated with race were exacerbated during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Using induced pluripotent stem cells to recreate the adrenal gland in a petri dish

Sitting atop the kidneys, the adrenal gland plays a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy body. Responding to signals from the brain, the gland secretes hormones that support critical functions like blood pressure, metabolism, and fertility.
