Cancer

Cancer refers to a group of more than a hundred diseases that can originate in many different parts of the body. Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body.

Metabolic Flexibility in Cancer: How Diet and Nutrition Shape Tumor Survival and Resistance

Cancer cells survive therapy by dynamically rewiring their metabolism in response to nutrient availability, microenvironmental stress, and therapeutic pressure. This article explains how dietary interventions may exploit metabolic flexibility and plasticity to enhance treatment response while accounting for tumor heterogeneity.

Extended myeloma maintenance therapy shows no additional survival benefit

A major national cooperative group clinical trial led by Mayo Clinic researchers found that continuing maintenance therapy with lenalidomide beyond two years after initial treatment for standard-risk multiple myeloma did not improve overall survival compared with stopping treatment after two years.

Study highlights breast screening barriers facing Black women in Britain

Black African and Black Caribbean women in the UK want clearer and more accessible information about breast cancer screening, according to a study from the University of Surrey.

Researchers uncover new T cell attack mechanism against acute myeloid leukemia

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered a new way in which T cells attack acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells, which may help explain why AML is particularly sensitive to immune-based treatments and could guide the development of future cancer immunotherapies.

Bile acid buildup linked to aggressive breast cancer progression

A buildup of bile acids caused by an unhealthy gut can drive breast cancer to other parts of the body, new University of Virginia Comprehensive Cancer Center research reveals.

AI model predicts effective immunotherapy combinations for liver cancer

Using computational tools, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have developed a method to predict which patients with a primary liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) would most benefit from combination treatment using immunotherapy and a targeted therapy that blocks the growth signals that the tumor depends on.

Self-assembling antibody drugs successfully target multiple cancer receptors

Modern anticancer medications that combine tumor-fighting drugs with proteins that specifically target cancer cells are a relatively new class of drug, often given to patients for whom standard chemotherapy has not worked.

Ketogenic diet may increase small intestine cancer risk in mice

A high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet, also called a ketogenic diet, can help some people lose weight by forcing their bodies to burn fat for fuel instead of sugar.

Targeted nanoparticles destroy tumor cells by triggering cuproptosis

A promising cancer treatment strategy called cuproptosis, which uses copper-dependent cell death to eliminate tumor cells, faces a major challenge: many approaches require adding external copper, potentially increasing toxicity beyond the tumor.

More than 50 million Americans lack local radiation cancer treatment

The disappearance of radiation oncology clinics threatens cancer care access for over 50 million Americans, with rural areas facing the greatest impact.

Breast and prostate cancer survival worsens with metabolic syndrome

A SEER-Medicare analysis of more than 200,000 adults aged 66 and older found that metabolic syndrome was associated with about twice the adjusted hazard of death from any cause after breast or prostate cancer. The condition was also linked to higher cancer-specific, cardiovascular-specific, and liver-failure-specific mortality, although the observational design prevents causal conclusions.

Study links gut microbes to stronger cancer immunotherapy responses

A new study from a team including University of Nebraska–Lincoln researchers is the first to show metabolites produced by certain bacteria in the gut can positively impact the body's immune response to cancer.

Experts urge Mexico to integrate liver disease into chronic care

Liver disease may affect close to half of adults in Mexico, yet the country tracks it far less closely than the diabetes and obesity to which it is linked, according to a new paper by Jeffrey Lazarus, professor at the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy Professor (CUNY SPH), and colleagues, and released to coincide with the International Congress on Obesity taking place in Mexico City this week.

Pet gecko offers promising model for cancer research breakthroughs

A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, suggests a pet gecko with an unusually high risk of tumors may be a promising model for understanding how cancer develops and spreads.

Fear of new foods may affect more than dietary variety

Higher food neophobia was associated with poorer self-reported physical and mental health among 4,537 adults in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The relationship remained after accounting for age, gender, education, and country, although the cross-sectional study could not establish causation.
