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.

Key innate immune protein regulates cholesterol and influences cancer treatment resistance

Scientists at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered an unexpected role for a key innate immune protein, revealing how it helps regulate cholesterol levels inside cells and influences tumor growth and treatment response.

Tumor mutations may help predict relapse risk in childhood leukemia

Some cases of the most common childhood cancer, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), return after treatment - and genetic changes present from the start may help explain why.

Affordable exercise program helps people with cancer rebuild strength

When you're going through cancer treatment or recovering afterwards, rest might seem like the best medicine. But research shows that exercise can also play an important role in managing cancer recovery.

Plant-derived compound helps restore cancer cells' sensitivity to treatment

A natural plant compound may help overcome a built-in defense that allows many cancers to resist a class of drugs designed to restore normal gene activity, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Eating sugary foods more than twice a week was linked to 28% higher breast cancer risk

In a prospective study of 71,264 Korean women followed for an average of 9.2 years, researchers identified 713 breast cancer cases and examined how different dietary sugar sources related to cancer risk. Women consuming high-sugar foods more than twice weekly had a 28% higher breast cancer risk than those consuming them no more than once a month, while total sugar intake and fruit consumption showed no significant association.

Long-term study supports cardiovascular safety of contemporary hormone replacement therapy

Contemporary hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was not associated with an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, blood clots or death among women ages 45 to 59, according to a large, long-term study of over 52,000 women in Israel.

New hormone receptor strategy offers targeted treatment for lupus

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside and City of Hope have identified a new strategy for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or lupus, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues.

New study evaluates quantum machine learning for lung cancer prediction

Developing reliable machine learning models for healthcare can be challenging when only small datasets are available. This challenge motivates research into whether quantum computing approaches can learn useful patterns from limited symptom and risk-factor data.

Extreme heat and cold hit some people far harder, and it's not just about illness

Researchers analysing 285,444 adults in Finland and the UK found that excess mortality associated with extreme heat and cold was more than tenfold higher among people with both pre-existing medical conditions and socioeconomic disadvantage than among those with neither or only one vulnerability. Climate modelling suggested that warming from approximately 1°C to 4°C could increase the proportion of deaths attributable to extreme temperatures from around 1% to more than 5% in both countries.

Hyperactive cancer-promoting proteins help tumor cells evade immune attack

The immune system may recognize a cancer cell and still fail to destroy it. Researchers at Hiroshima University and their international collaborators found that hyperactive YAP and TAZ (YAP/TAZ), two cancer-promoting proteins, were associated with genomic instability that may make cancer cells more recognizable to the immune system, while also increasing PD-L2, which helps the cells suppress T-cell attack.
