Intensity of physical training does not seem to matter during cancer treatment

People receiving treatment for cancer are known to feel better with physical training. But does it make any difference how vigorously they exercise?

New analysis highlights prevalence of cognitive impairment and changes in breast cancer patients

A recent analysis of published studies estimates that one-quarter of adults with breast cancer have cognitive impairment before starting therapy.

Fractional CO2 laser therapy may help treat breast cancer survivors with genitourinary syndrome of menopause

Postmenopausal women often complain of painful intercourse or a lack of desire caused by decreased estrogen levels, which affect vaginal elasticity and lubrication.

New genome editing technology could pave way for non-viral delivery systems

Researchers from Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) in collaboration with colleagues from Belgium take a step in the development of genome editing technology.

Viral-caused cancer in California sea lions has major health implications for humans

20-plus years of data in a newly released study by The Marine Mammal Center shows ocean pollutants is one of the leading causes of cancer in sea lions and highlights how exposure to environmental contaminants can fast-track the likelihood of humans developing virally caused cancers.

Advances in tumor models could expand effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy

Scientists are hoping advances in cancer research could lead to a day when a patient's own immune system could be used to fight and destroy a wide range of tumors.

New technology uses near-infrared imaging and machine learning to find hidden tumors

Tumors can be damaging to surrounding blood vessels and tissues even if they're benign. If they're malignant, they're aggressive and sneaky, and often irrevocably damaging. In the latter case, early detection is key to treatment and recovery.

New process separates beneficial glucocorticoids from unwanted side-effects

A collaboration led by Scripps Research has developed a way to separate the beneficial anti-inflammatory properties of a group of steroids called glucocorticoids from some of their unwanted side-effects, through an optimization process they named "ligand class analysis."

Delayed time between abnormal stool-based screening and colonoscopy increases cancer risk

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality among men and women in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. At-home tests, which measure blood in stool as a potential marker for colon cancer, are often used for colorectal cancer screening.

Prone positioning associated with lower mortality and intubation in COVID-19 patients

In the absence of specific antivirals to combat the pandemic, supportive care is paramount. In this context, a new preprint posted to the medRxiv server describes the observed efficacy of prone positioning to reduce mortality and the risk of intubation in COVID-19 patients with respiratory insufficiency.

Gene mutations may explain the poorer outcomes in Hispanic and Latino children with leukemia

A combination of genetic mutations may explain the higher incidence of and poorer outcomes from pediatric leukemia in Hispanic and Latino children, according to Penn State College of Medicine researchers.

Remyelinating drug shows potential to improve vision in patients with MS

A team led by a biomedical scientist at the University of California, Riverside, reports a drug -- an estrogen receptor ligand called indazole chloride (IndCl) -- has the potential to improve vision in patients with multiple sclerosis, or MS.

Reducing barriers in cancer care for LGBTQ2SPIA+ patients

In an upcoming issue of the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, published by Elsevier, undergraduate researchers from the University of Alberta's Radiation Therapy Program in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry describe how LGBTQ2SPIA+ patients face unique cancer risks, including fear of discrimination, higher incidence of certain cancer sites, and lower screening rates, resulting in more cancers detected at later stages.
