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.

Geographic disparities persist in the decline of U.S. cancer deaths

In 1991, the U.S. experienced a significant shift in cancer death rates, as, for the first time, deaths began a steady decline that continues to the present day. Researchers at Mississippi State's Social Science Research Center, in partnership with scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, examined this decline to identify where and who benefited the most from this dramatic improvement.

Blocking nitric oxide suppresses tumor growth in aggressive pediatric neuroblastoma

The tumor begins before birth. Somewhere in the developing fetus, neural crest cells that should have matured into adrenal tissue or sympathetic ganglia take a wrong turn, and a child is born harboring a malignancy that may not declare itself for months.

New ruthenium-based active agent enables cancer treatment in oxygen-depleted tumors

Most tumors grow so rapidly that vascular growth cannot keep up, and oxygen-depleted areas form within them. A new active agent could make it possible to treat them with photodynamic therapy.
