UC San Diego researchers have developed a device that predicts breast cancer aggressiveness by measuring tumor cell adhesion. Weakly adherent cells indicate a higher risk of metastasis, especially in ...

By assessing how 'sticky' tumor cells are, researchers have found a potential way to predict whether a patient's early-stage breast cancer is likely to spread. The discovery could help doctors ...

Itchy skin, or pruritus, can be a symptom of some cancers, including blood-related, skin, liver, gallbladder, and bile-duct cancer cancers. However, other causes of itching are more common. Itching ...

Cancer cells may cause body odors, but not odors that most people will notice. While some studies show dogs may be able to detect cancer smells, researchers are exploring the possibility of detecting ...

including pancreatic cancer and now lung cancer. NRG1 gene fusions are often found in the invasive mucinous subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma. What are the treatment options ...

Patients with localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who received radiation plus the immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) durvalumab (Imfinzi) and tremelimumab (Imjudo) had durable ...

Deregulation of secreted mucin 2 (MUC2) production has provided an important link between inflammation and cancer. Expression of the transmembrane mucin MUC1 is upregulated in response to chronic ...

Stage 4 cancer means cancer cells have spread to distant tissue or organs. The relative 5-year survival rate for a person receiving a diagnosis of stage 4 small cell lung cancer (SCLS) is 3% ...

New research published in Nature Communications reveals how cancer cells are altered by their surroundings, enabling them to change their shape and break out of a tumor. The discovery, which is the ...

The state of Illinois canceled a riverbed property rights closing necessary for the Brandon Road Interbasin Project to stop invasive carp from reaching the Great Lakes. A project to keep invasive ...
