Tumor-related risk factors affect conversion of active surveillance to treatment for prostate cancer

For men with "low-risk" prostate cancer initially managed with active surveillance, cancer-related factors such as tumor grade and size are key risk factors for conversion to active treatment, reports a study in The Journal of Urology®, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association.

'Cold' tumors can be turned 'hot' with extremely low doses of radiation, study shows

A Ludwig Cancer Research study conducted in both mice and a small group of patients with advanced cancers has shown that so-called “cold” tumors that are nearly devoid of immune cells—and therefore unresponsive to immunotherapy—can be turned “hot” with extremely low doses of radiation and the rational use of existing therapies.

Study unravels widespread tumor suppression mechanism that halts cancer metastasis

According to a study by The Wistar Institute, the tumor suppressor Parkin, whose levels are reduced in different cancer types, causes acute metabolic and oxidative stress, suppresses mitochondrial trafficking, and blocks tumor cell movement, reducing primary and metastatic tumor growth.
