New method can predict cancer patients' survival within hours after chemotherapy

Researchers from the University of Bergen, Norway, has found a new method that within hours can predict if certain cancer patients will survive or not after chemotherapy.

Anticancer drugs offer new hope for treatment of sepsis

Research led by the IGC reveals how these drugs limit inflammation, positioning them as potential treatments for sepsis.

Study describes a mechanism associated with the production of neuropathic pain

Neuropathic pain is a type of chronic pain caused by damage to the nervous system due mainly to metabolic diseases such as diabetes and arthritis, or to the side effects of some kinds of chemotherapy.

Rare protein variant may hold the key to boosting effectiveness of breast cancer treatment

A rare variant of a protein present in nearly all human cells may hold the key to improving the effectiveness of breast cancer treatment, according to new research funded by Breast Cancer Now.

Novel T cell receptor therapy shows early promise for treating solid tumors

Afamitresgene autoleucel (afami-cel; formerly ADP-A2M4), an adoptive T cell receptor (TCR) therapy targeting the MAGE-A4 cancer antigen, achieved clinically significant results for patients with multiple solid tumor types in a Phase I clinical trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Brief tele-cognitive behavioral therapy for head and neck cancer survivors with body-image distress shows promising results

Talking, smiling, eating together – these are all social activities that are inherent to the human experience. But for some head and neck cancer survivors, they are dreaded tasks.

Comparison of genetic codes reveals how humans and other mammals lost their hair

Orangutans, mice, and horses are covered with it, but humans aren't. Why we have significantly less body hair than most other mammals has long remained a mystery.

Immune system B-cells may be better in predicting HER2-positive breast cancer treatment response

Researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues have found that measuring activation of immune-system B cells may be better than measuring either T-cell activation or the total number of immune cells in and around a tumor, called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), in predicting whether HER2-positive breast cancer responds to treatment.

Study shows the potential of a game-changing drug to treat upper urinary tract urothelial cancers

A team from 15 U.S. medical centers led by UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center researchers has performed the first analysis of a potentially game-changing drug to treat upper urinary tract urothelial cancers.

Salk scientists show how a microprotein can increase appetite in mice

Obesity and metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, are extremely common in the United States. Tiny proteins called microproteins have long been overlooked in research, but new evidence demonstrates that they have an important role in metabolism.
