How diabetes medications may influence cancer risk and progression

Diabetes, particularly Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM), has been linked to an increased risk of various cancers, including liver, colorectal, and breast cancer.

Financial barriers drive low participation in cancer clinical trials

A study by Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals researchers has overturned long-held assumptions about why more cancer patients don't enroll in clinical trials that could potentially save their lives.

HPV vaccination reduces risk of vulvar and vaginal lesions

Girls who are vaccinated against HPV are not only well protected against cervical cancer; they are also less likely to develop severe precancerous lesions of the vulva and vagina, particularly if they were vaccinated before the age of 17.

Compact Raman imaging system detects tumors with high sensitivity

Researchers have developed a new compact Raman imaging system that is sensitive enough to differentiate between tumor and normal tissue.

Ultra-processed foods linked to higher mortality in Black women with breast cancer

A study from Rutgers Cancer Institute researchers in eClinicalMedicine is the first to link ultra-processed foods to reduced survival in Black women with breast cancer.

New breakthrough expands possibilities for PET imaging

Imagine being able to watch organs and tissues work in real time. That's the power of Positron Emission Tomography, or PET imaging, a technology that gives physicians and researchers a window into cellular processes.

Study finds a new protein target against KRAS-driven non-small cell lung cancer

Lung cancer is the second-most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

Advances in hemophilia gene therapy bring hope for pediatric patients

In the past three years, gene therapy has reshaped what's possible in hemophilia treatment for patients 18 and older. But a key question remains: How soon will these advances reach children?

Scientists unravel how citrin deficiency can trigger fat buildup in the liver even in lean individuals

Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S. and a leading research center for diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses, have unraveled how citrin deficiency (CD), a rare genetic disorder that prevents the liver from converting food into energy efficiently, can trigger fat buildup in the liver - even in lean individuals.

Folate deficiency drives genetic changes linked to lung cancer

Genetic alterations lie at the heart of cancer development, but scientists may have been overlooking a powerful driver of these changes—the everyday nutrients that feed our cells.

Addressing unsustainable food systems can deliver double benefits for health and climate

A major review in Frontiers in Science highlights how tackling unsustainable food systems-reflected by our changing food environment-is urgent for both health and climate.

Worried about health insurance costs? There may be cheaper options — but with trade-offs

For the millions of Americans who buy Affordable Care Act insurance, there's still time left to enroll for 2026. But premium increases and the expiration of enhanced tax subsidies have led to larger-than-expected costs.

Researchers develop antibody to combat HCMV, a common, overlooked virus

Researchers at Texas Biologics have made an important discovery that could improve treatment of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a common but overlooked virus that poses serious risks to vulnerable populations, including people with compromised immune systems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the virus is the most infectious cause of birth defects in the United States.

Genetic differences can affect the effectiveness of antibody therapies

The genome differs from person to person in thousands of positions. In some cases, this means that proteins have a different building block in certain regions, rendering some antibody-based therapies ineffective, report researchers from the University of Basel, Switzerland.

Study links low physical activity to higher lymphedema risk after cancer treatment

Lymphedema after head and neck cancer is considerably more common than previously assumed and can persist long after cancer treatment has finished.

Research reveals how the gut microbiome supports successful pregnancy

Gut microbes may play a key role in training a mother's immune system to adapt to the developing fetus during pregnancy, according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Novel mRNA therapy rejuvenates immune function in aging mice

Can the weakened immune systems of older individuals be rejuvenated? Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM institute, and the Broad Institute have demonstrated that this is possible with an innovative approach.

Strong heart health lowers long-term death risk in cancer survivors

Higher Life’s Simple 7 cardiovascular health scores were associated with lower long-term all-cause and cancer mortality in cancer survivors from a large Italian cohort. Inflammation, resting heart rate, and vitamin D statistically explained a substantial share of these associations, supporting shared cardiometabolic pathways across cancer and cardiovascular disease.

New tool can predict recurrence risk in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Cedars-Sinai investigators, leading a multi-institutional team, have developed and validated a tool to predict which patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) need closer monitoring because their cancer is more likely to recur.
