NYUAD researchers develop new microfluidic platform to perform cancer liquid biopsies

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and has been found to have a significantly higher rate of survival when diagnosed at early stages, before metastasis.

Study identifies ancestral fragments of DNA associated with hereditary prostate cancer

Vanderbilt researchers have identified haplotypes, ancestral fragments of DNA, that are associated with hereditary prostate cancer (HPC) in a first-of-its-kind genomic study made possible by the study of prostate cancer patients with family histories of the disease.

Older cancer patients taking multiple medications are at higher risk of hospitalization

As adults age, they accumulate a number of medications for chronic conditions. Older patients take anywhere between 5-15 medications per year, which increases the risk that some of the drugs will counteract each other.

Researchers discover why some prostate cancers are more aggressive

Researchers at the University of East Anglia have discovered why some prostate cancers are more aggressive, spread to different parts of the body, and ultimately cause death.

People with a cancer history have increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation

People with a history of cancer have an over two-fold risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common heart rhythm disorder, compared to the general population, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session Together with World Congress of Cardiology

African-American men less likely to use more targeted biopsy option for prostate cancer

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have found in a retrospective study that African-American men are less likely to use a more targeted biopsy option for prostate cancer, despite an increased incidence in this group of patients.

Researchers uncover clues to how statins kill cancer cells

More than 35 million Americans take statin drugs daily to lower their blood cholesterol levels. Now, in experiments with human cells in the laboratory, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine have added to growing evidence that the ubiquitous drug may kill cancer cells and have uncovered clues to how they do it.

Blood test for microbial DNA could warn of cancer

A new study published in the journal Nature on March 11, 2020, could transform the currently held views on cancer causation and diagnosis. The researchers have come up with a new technique to detect the presence and type of cancer by looking at microbial DNA circulating in the blood of the person being screened.

Exercise works for prostate cancer sufferers starting treatment

A James Cook University researcher says scientists have found that exercise can be beneficial to patients as they begin treatment for prostate cancer.

Microbial DNA in the blood could help identify who has cancer

When Gregory Poore was a freshman in college, his otherwise healthy grandmother was shocked to learn that she had late-stage pancreatic cancer. The condition was diagnosed in late December. She died in January.

AI taps human knowledge for faster and more accurate cancer diagnosis

A new system combining artificial intelligence with human knowledge promises faster and more accurate cancer diagnosis.

Researchers develop a microfluidic chip to help detect prostate cancer

Researchers of Sechenov University together with their colleagues from Australia used the microfluidics technology to develop a device able to isolate cancer cells from urine of patients with prostate cancer.

NCCN publishes recommendations for assessing quality improvements in cancer care

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network has published a curated list of high-impact measures for assessing quality improvements in cancer care.

Urine test could help men avoid unnecessary prostate cancer biopsies

Unnecessary prostate cancer biopsies could be reduced by 60 percent thanks to new research from the University of East Anglia.

AI helps reveal apparent cellular distinctions between black and white cancer patients

Scientists at Case Western Reserve University are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reveal apparent cellular distinctions between black and white cancer patients, while also exploring potential racial bias in the rapidly developing field of AI.

5 Mar 2020

New type of adoptive cell therapy could target prostate and pancreatic cancers in humans

In experiments with mice, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center say they have slowed the growth of transplanted human prostate and pancreatic cancer cells by introducing bone marrow cells with a specific gene deletion to induce a novel immune response.
