Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death ...

The research, published today in Nature Communications, focuses on how cancer cells keep their chromosomes intact so they can continue dividing relentlessly. Normally, every time a cell divides, the ...

CAR T-cell therapy, which transforms patients’ own immune cells into cancer-fighting warriors, has revolutionized how physicians treat cancer, especially blood cancers. “These patients can be cured ...

Scientists at UCLA have developed an "off-the-shelf" cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...

With four FDA-approved oncology indications and trials exploring new uses, tumor treating fields are emerging as a promising therapeutic option for certain patients with cancer. While using ...

Common respiratory infections like COVID and the flu could awaken dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs and lead to metastatic disease. These findings were based on mice infected with COVID and ...

Pancreatic cancer is among the deadliest forms of cancer, with most patients diagnosed after the disease has already spread throughout the body. The five-year survival rate for metastatic cases hovers ...

T cell engagers, including Imdelltra, show promise in small cell lung cancer, outperforming chemotherapy in trials and changing the standard of care. Antibody-drug conjugates like I-DXd and ABBV-706 ...

A protein involved with cell death can be manipulated to slow or reverse tumor growth, a pair of new studies in mice found. A colorized three dimensional micrographic scan of a melanoma cell. Recent ...

Researchers have designed a smart drug that hunts down and breaks a little-known RNA that cancer cells depend on. The drug recognizes a unique fold in the RNA and triggers the cell to destroy it.
