Boosting the immune system to prevent cancer recurrence and improve survival

In experiments with mouse models of breast, pancreatic, and muscle cancers, researchers at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital report new evidence that a novel means of boosting the natural immune system prevents cancer recurrence and improves survival.

Proton therapy offers no significant QOL advantage over photon therapy for breast cancer

The first randomized trial to compare photon- and proton-based radiation therapy for breast cancer finds that patients report equally strong health-related quality of life with either treatment. Patients who received proton therapy were more likely to say they would recommend or choose it again, but overall patient-reported outcomes were similar.

Cornell launches new initiative to uncover how menopause shapes health and disease

Two centuries ago, few women lived long enough to reach menopause. Today, it marks a major inflection point in women's health, yet remains poorly understood. Cornell researchers aim to change that.

Gene expression test identifies prostate cancer patients who benefit from hormone therapy

A new randomized study finds that a lab test that reads tumor genes can identify which patients with recurrent prostate cancer will benefit from adding hormone therapy to radiation after surgery - the first predictive biomarker in this setting.

Super-resolution imaging unlocks the role of transporter nanoclusters in tumor metabolism

Serine serves as a metabolic nexus in tumors, coordinating one-carbon metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and redox regulation. In recent years, targeting the serine metabolic pathway, particularly the rate-limiting enzyme PHGDH, has attracted considerable attention as a promising anticancer strategy.

Can roselle help fight inflammation? New review suggests strong potential

A new review highlights the anti-inflammatory potential of Hibiscus sabdariffa (roselle), synthesizing evidence from 25 studies published between 2019 and 2024. Most findings are from preclinical models, but they point to promising roles in cardiovascular, metabolic, neuroprotective, and anticancer health.

Global cancer cases and deaths expected to soar by 2050 despite advances in treatment

There has been a rapid increase in the global number of cancer cases and deaths between 1990 and 2023, despite advances in cancer treatment and efforts to tackle cancer risk factors over that same time period.

Missing the first mammogram raises risk of advanced breast cancer

Women who miss their first mammogram run a higher risk of being diagnosed with advanced breast cancer and dying from the disease.

Sylvester part of major national study on AI use in breast cancer screening

Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, will co-lead a newly funded, multi-institutional clinical trial to evaluate whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help support radiologists in interpreting mammograms more accurately, with the goal of improving breast cancer screening and reducing unnecessary callbacks and anxiety for patients.

UCLA to co-lead a large-scale randomized trial of AI in breast cancer screening

UCLA and UC Davis will co-lead a newly funded, multi-institutional clinical trial to evaluate whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help support radiologists in interpreting mammograms more accurately, with the goal of improving breast cancer screening and reducing unnecessary callbacks and anxiety for patients.

Molecular breast imaging increases overall invasive cancer detection in women with dense breasts

Screening women with dense breasts with both molecular breast imaging (MBI) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increased overall invasive cancer detection while modestly increasing the recall rate compared with screening only with DBT, according to a new study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America.

New PET tracer enables rapid imaging of aggressive breast and bladder cancers

A promising new PET tracer can visualize a protein that is commonly overexpressed in triple-negative breast and urothelial bladder cancers within four hours, according to new research published in the September issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Regular mammograms linked to longer survival in women over 80

For many older women, the question of whether to continue breast cancer screening has been uncertain. While most guidelines recommend mammograms up to age 74, advice for women 75 and older has been less clear.

Digital twin of lung cancer cell offers new insights into tumor growth and treatment

An enhanced computer model is now helping to provide fresh insights into cancer-cell growth and how it can be stopped. The digital cell model represents another step towards individualized cancer treatment.

Investigational drug reduces hot flashes and night sweats for post-menopausal women

The investigational drug elinzanetant significantly reduces hot flashes and night sweats for post-menopausal women, a large, international clinical trial has found.

New study uncovers why dispersed glioblastoma cells are more dangerous

A new study, led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, captured details of glioblastoma that had never before been seen and revealed a surprise finding: Glioblastoma cells that "cluster" together with other cells of the same type are less deadly than those that disperse from these clusters.

The 15th AACR cancer progress report highlights scientific advances

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) released the 15th edition of its annual Cancer Progress Report. A cornerstone of the AACR's educational and advocacy efforts, this comprehensive report provides the latest statistics on cancer incidence, mortality, and survivorship and highlights how federal investments in basic, translational, and clinical cancer research and cancer-related population sciences have led to impressive scientific advances that are improving health and saving lives.

Deep learning algorithm uses mammograms and age for heart disease prediction

A new machine learning model developed by The George Institute for Global Health can successfully predict heart disease risk in women by analyzing mammograms. The findings were published today in Heart, the official journal of the British Cardiovascular Society.

Leading cancer organizations release updated guideline on post-mastectomy radiation therapy

Three leading national cancer organizations today issued an updated guideline on post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) for physicians treating patients with breast cancer.

Triple negative breast cancer exploits lymph node niches to block immune defense

In almost all solid tumors - i.e. cancers with a solid tissue structure - the detection of tumor cells in the lymph nodes is considered a decisive marker for the progression of the disease.
