New research finds how cancer cells acquire resistance to molecular-targeted drugs

Although molecular-targeted drugs have been known to show high efficacy to lung cancer patients, they also have limitations due to acquiring resistance to the drug used.

Cocktail of chemicals in the mother inhibits child growth

For the first time, researchers have shown that a combination of perfluorinated substances in the mother significantly inhibits child growth.

Researchers discover new and rare skeletal disease

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered a new and rare skeletal disease. In a study published in the journal Nature Medicine they describe the molecular mechanism of the disease, in which small RNA molecules play a role that has never before been observed in a congenital human disease.

New analysis highlights increasing focus of early-stage clinical trials on rare cancers

The proportion of early-stage drug trials tackling the biggest cancer killers has declined sharply since the early 1990s as less common tumor types receive increasing attention, according to new research to be presented during the International Congress on Targeted Anticancer Therapies 2019, taking place from today to 27 February in Paris, France.

New technology platform digitally counts growth factors in single cells

Whether healthy or diseased, human cells exhibit behaviors and processes that are largely dictated by growth factor molecules, which bind to receptors on the cells. For example, growth factors tell the cells to divide, move, and when to die--a process known as apoptosis.

Older biologic age associated with increased risk of developing breast cancer

Biologic age, a DNA-based estimate of a person's age, is associated with future development of breast cancer, according to scientists at the National Institutes of Health.

CPRIT awards nearly $20 million to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today was awarded $19.6 million from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to support research, recruitment and prevention efforts.

Breast cancer study: Family-history-based models perform better than non-family-history based models

A team of researchers led by Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health Professor Mary Beth Terry, PhD, evaluated four commonly used breast cancer prediction models and found that family-history-based models perform better than non-family-history based models, even for women at average or below-average risk of breast cancer.

New identified biomarker predicts patients who might benefit from HER2-targeted agents

In an effort to further individualize therapy and avoid over-treating patients, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center report a new study using PET scans has identified a biomarker that may accurately predict which patients with one type of HER2-positive breast cancer might best benefit from standalone HER2-targeted agents, without the need for standard chemotherapy.

New computational tool searches for factors that cause specific diseases

Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have developed and tested a new computational tool, Candidate Driver Analysis, which will search for combinations of factors that are likely to cause a specific disease.

New forms of older anti-cancer agent appear to enhance immune response to fight melanoma

Researchers at the Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at Johns Hopkins and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine report two new forms of an older anti-cancer agent they developed appear to enhance the immune system's ability to fight melanoma in mice.

New study establishes how stress favors breast cancer growth and spread

Cancer: The word alone evokes dread, anxiety, and fear. Accordingly, many women living with the disease and undergoing treatment experience chronic stress and depression.

Study: High intensity exercise may improve health by increasing gut microbiota diversity

Bacteria, often synonymous with infection and disease, may have an unfair reputation. Research indicates there are as many, if not more, bacterial cells in our bodies as human cells, meaning they play an important role in our physiology.

DDT exposure linked to increased breast cancer risk for all women through age 54

All women exposed to high levels of DDT are at increased risk for breast cancer through age 54, but the timing of cancer risk depends on when they were first exposed, according to a new study published today in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Breast cancer screening age should be lowered to 35 for those with a family history

Thousands of women who have a family history of breast cancer should be screened from the age of 35, rather than the current eligibility age of 40.
