Robotic bronchoscope reaches tiny, hard-to-access lung tumors with high accuracy

A cutting-edge bronchoscope that is guided with the help of a robot can reach very small tumors growing in hard-to-reach parts of the lung, according to results of a gold-standard randomized-controlled trial that will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Most cancer patients encounter misinformation about treatments

Ninety-three percent of patients with a new cancer diagnosis were exposed to at least one type of misinformation about cancer treatments, a UF Health Cancer Center study has found.

Scientists show for the first time how fibroblasts go 'rogue' in different diseases

Scientists have mapped underappreciated scaffolding cells in skin, known as fibroblasts. They show for the first time how fibroblasts go 'rogue' in many different diseases affecting multiple organs – from acne and psoriasis, to rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Research shows different EML4-ALK variants drive lung cancer aggressiveness

About five percent of lung adenocarcinomas, one of the most common forms of lung cancer, are driven by a faulty fusion of two genes, EML4 and ALK.

Scheduling combined visits improves wellness care and reduces no shows

A recurrent barrier to Medicare annual wellness visits, which provide preventative medicine guidance for older and disabled patients, occurs when patients introduce medical concerns to physicians during these preventative visits.

Study identifies immune biomarkers for personalized therapies in pediatric germ cell tumors

A study conducted by the Molecular Oncology Research Center (CPOM) at Hospital de Amor in Barretos (formerly Barretos Cancer Hospital) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, has identified possible biomarkers that could guide the development of more personalized therapies for pediatric germ cell tumors (GCTs).

Digital twin of lung cancer cell offers new insights into tumor growth and treatment

An enhanced computer model is now helping to provide fresh insights into cancer-cell growth and how it can be stopped. The digital cell model represents another step towards individualized cancer treatment.

New molecule offers a more targeted and potent immunotherapy

A newly developed molecule brings together two powerful immunotherapy strategies in one treatment. Researchers at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel, Switzerland, have demonstrated that this fusion protein can both block the "do not attack" signal used by cancer cells and selectively activate tumor-fighting immune cells. This dual action could pave the way for more effective cancer therapies with fewer side effects.

The 15th AACR cancer progress report highlights scientific advances

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) released the 15th edition of its annual Cancer Progress Report. A cornerstone of the AACR's educational and advocacy efforts, this comprehensive report provides the latest statistics on cancer incidence, mortality, and survivorship and highlights how federal investments in basic, translational, and clinical cancer research and cancer-related population sciences have led to impressive scientific advances that are improving health and saving lives.

Deep learning tool improves accuracy of lung nodule malignancy detection

An artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning tool that estimates the malignancy risk of lung nodules achieved high cancer detection rates while significantly reducing false-positive results.

Machine learning models can predict urgent care needs for patients with non–small cell lung cancer

A new study published in JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics demonstrates that machine learning models incorporating patient-reported outcomes and wearable sensor data can predict which patients with non–small cell lung cancer are most at risk of needing urgent care during treatment.

PM2.5 pollution linked to lung cancer shows sharp declines in the U.S. but not in China

The study highlights the need for stronger air quality measures as global lung cancer deaths linked to pollution are projected to rise, especially in China.

Researchers reveal why global gains against chronic diseases are stalling

Researchers analysed mortality data from 185 countries and found that while global non-communicable disease (NCD) deaths before age 80 declined from 2010 to 2019, progress slowed compared to 2001–2010. Gains were mainly from drops in heart disease and stroke, but rising burdens from diabetes, cancers, and neuropsychiatric conditions stalled momentum.

AI rollout in NHS hospitals faces major challenges

Implementing artificial intelligence (AI) into NHS hospitals is far harder than initially anticipated, with complications around governance, contracts, data collection, harmonisation with old IT systems, finding the right AI tools and staff training, finds a major new UK study led by UCL researchers.

Lung tumors rewire immune cells in the bone marrow before they reach cancer sites

Lung tumors don't just evade the immune system. They reshape it at its source. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators report in the September 10 online issue of Nature that tumors rewire immune cells in the bone marrow before they even reach the cancer, suggesting a new target to enhance the durability of current immunotherapy

New AI model can identify treatments that reverse disease states in cells

In a move that could reshape drug discovery, researchers at Harvard Medical School have designed an artificial intelligence model capable of identifying treatments that reverse disease states in cells.

Subcutaneous amivantamab plus lazertinib yields high response in EGFR-mutant lung cancer

A new analysis from the PALOMA-2 study presented today shows that subcutaneous administration of amivantamab every four weeks (Q4W), in combination with daily oral lazertinib, yields a high objective response rate in patients with previously untreated EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
