Y chromosome loss linked to poor cancer outcomes

When cancer cells in male patients and immune cells in their tumors both lose the Y chromosome, those patients tend to experience poorer outcomes than patients without Y chromosome loss, according to new findings from Cedars-Sinai investigators.

New insights into decades-old bladder cancer treatment offers clues for immunotherapy

More than three decades ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) as the first immunotherapy against cancer. And it is still used today to treat early-stage bladder cancer.

Gut bacteria turn bile acids into allies against cancer

Bacteria naturally present in the human intestine, known as the gut microbiota, can transform cholesterol-derived bile acids into powerful metabolites that strengthen anti-cancer immunity by blocking androgen signaling, according to a preclinical study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Study reveals CT scan overuse could account for 1 in 20 new US cancers

A new study projects that CT scans performed in the US in 2023 could cause around 103,000 future cancers, potentially accounting for 5% of all new cancer diagnoses. Researchers highlight that while individual risks are small, the population impact of unnecessary or high-dose CT imaging is significant.
