Study suggests new anti-KRAS drug as a strong candidate for pancreatic cancer clinical trials

A small molecule inhibitor that attacks the difficult to target, cancer-causing gene mutation KRAS, found in nearly 30 percent of all human tumors, successfully shrunk tumors or stopped cancer growth in preclinical models of pancreatic cancer, researchers from Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center showed, suggesting the drug is a strong candidate for clinical trials.

Study shines light on how ultrafine particles promote lung cancer progression

While it may seem common knowledge that smoking is bad for your lungs, if and how ultrafine particles present in cigarette smoke impact the development and progression of lung cancer remains unclear.

Blood tests may be able to guide treatment discussions for patients with metastatic cancer

As cancers grow and potentially spread to new parts of the body, they often shed cells and DNA into the blood stream. DNA can be analyzed for both the amount of DNA present and whether any potential mutations exist that may aid providers in deciding on treatments.

Frequent surveillance imaging not linked to better outcomes following lung cancer surgery

Regular postsurgical screening is critical for patients with lung cancer, the United States' second most prevalent type of cancer and leading cause of cancer deaths.

Simultaneous radiation and immunotherapy can benefit mNSCLC patients with high tumor aneuploidy

In many cancer types, cancer cells try to survive by escaping attack from the immune system. These cancer cells hijack mechanisms called immune checkpoints to trick the immune system into thinking they are healthy cells.

Low-dose CT screening improves survival rate of lung cancer patients

Diagnosing early-stage lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening drastically improves the survival rate of cancer patients over a 20-year period, according to a large-scale international study being presented by Mount Sinai researchers at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

Tumor matrix profiles determine the risk and prognosis of a common type of lung cancer

Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have identified molecular profiles of the surrounding matrix of a common type of lung cancer that might indicate which patients are likely to develop aggressive tumors.

β-cyclodextrin family found to be promising and cost-effective antiviral agents against SARS-CoV-2

Researchers identified β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) as a safe and cost-effective drug against SARS-CoV-2 with a broad spectrum of activity.

18 Nov 2022

Research findings could bolster the effectiveness of immune-checkpoint therapy

Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda and Opdivo work by unleashing the immune system's T cells to attack tumor cells.

16 Nov 2022

Protein levels in lung tumors may predict prognosis, improve treatment and diagnostics

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally and a top cause of cancer deaths in the Military Health System.
