Novel strategy for data sharing may help better understand disease-causing genetic variants

Scientists may better understand and test for the genetic variations that cause cancer and other heritable diseases through the application of a novel strategy for securely sharing and analyzing genomic data developed at the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute.

Scientists identify a molecular regulator involved in resistance to breast cancer treatment

A team from the UNIGE has identified a potential target for restoring the efficacy of standard treatment in resistant patients.

Study identifies new immune checkpoint that may be exploited for cancer treatment

A collaborative study led by the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute has discovered a new immune checkpoint that may be exploited for cancer therapy.

Insurance status and residential zip codes linked with survival among breast cancer patients

Recent findings published in JAMA Oncology found that individual insurance status and residential zip codes were correlated with overall survival among women with early hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.

Melanoma patients do better on immunotherapy than completion lymph node dissection

For years, surgery for patients with stage III melanoma - melanoma that has spread to the lymph nodes - involved removing those lymph nodes along with the primary tumor.

New micro-protein supports cell division and proliferation during nutrient scarcity

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Montreal (Canada) have discovered that a micro-protein, which they named Nrs1, supports cell division and proliferation when nutrients are scarce.

Consuming wine with meals linked to lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes

An analysis of health data for nearly 312,400 current drinkers suggests consuming alcohol, most notably wine, with meals is associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Heart Association's Epidemiology, Prevention, Lifestyle & Cardiometabolic Health Conference 2022.

Choice of initial treatment not related to depression, emotional well-being in prostate cancer patients

Depression and other mental health outcomes are similar for men choosing different options for initial treatment of localized prostate cancer, reports a study in The Journal of Urology, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association.

3 Mar 2022

Novel approach to generate reliable breast tumor models may pave way for better immunotherapies

The discrepancy between preclinical advances in breast cancer immunotherapy and poor patient outcomes is rooted in the limitations of current breast cancer models. These models often fail to mimic complex interactions between cancer cells and key immune cells present in the tumor microenvironment.

UH researcher receives $2 million to develop drugs for traditionally undruggable targets in cancer

With a $2 million recruitment grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, a University of Houston researcher is setting up a lab to develop drugs that will work on traditionally undruggable targets in cancer.

2 Mar 2022

Analyzing transcriptomic landscape of SARS-CoV-2-infected lung cells

In a new study, researchers used deep transcriptome analysis to examine the coding and non-coding transcriptional landscape of lung cells infected with SARS-CoV-2.

1 Mar 2022

New ultrasound scan can detect prostate cancer cases with good accuracy

An ultrasound scan can be used to detect cases of prostate cancer, according to new research.

28 Feb 2022

Researchers report a new, more efficient way to grow breast cancer models

For years, researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah have honed a process of developing breast cancer models using tumors donated by breast cancer patients, which they then implant into mice as a way to study the tumor's behavior.

New imaging approach provides a clearer ‘picture’ of blood vessels in health and disease

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have developed and tested a new imaging approach they say will accelerate imaging-based research in the lab by allowing investigators to capture images of blood vessels at different spatial scales.

28 Feb 2022

ESMO announces a new series of resources to guide physicians in oncological practice

ESMO, the leading professional organization for medical oncology, announces a new series of resources designed to guide physicians in areas of oncological practice not covered by guidelines, where current evidence is insufficient to evenly inform clinical decision-making.

28 Feb 2022

UCLA expert urges caution on the adoption of AI technology to analyze breast tumors

Analyzing breast-cancer tumors with artificial intelligence has the potential to improve healthcare efficiency and outcomes. But doctors should proceed cautiously, because similar technological leaps previously led to higher rates of false-positive tests and over-treatment.

25 Feb 2022

Preoperative body image concerns may predict complications after breast reconstruction

Psychological factors, especially related to body image, may affect the risk of complications after breast reconstruction surgery, reports a study in the March issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

25 Feb 2022

Deep-learning based image reconstruction approach may improve detection of breast cancer

Researchers have developed a new image reconstruction approach that could contribute to better breast cancer detection. The deep learning algorithm overcomes a major hurdle in multi-modality imaging by allowing images to be recovered in real time.

24 Feb 2022

New studies explore the potential role of bariatric surgery in reducing breast cancer risk

New studies aim to clarify the relationship between obesity and breast cancer, and explore the potential role of bariatric surgery in reducing this risk, according to a review published online in Obesity, The Obesity Society's flagship journal.
