Scientists discover new mechanism that drives cancer spread

Mar 02, 2015

Scientists have uncovered a previously overlooked biological mechanism that switches on metastasis in cancer cells, enabling them to spread to other parts of the body. Read More

New breast cancer test links immune 'hotspots' to better survival

Mar 02, 2015

Scientists have developed a new test which can predict the survival chances of women with breast cancer by analysing images of 'hotspots' where there has been a fierce immune reaction to a tumour. Read More

Leukemia-associated mutations almost inevitable as we age

Mar 02, 2015

Researchers estimate that 7 in 10 over 90-year-olds have early leukemia cellsIt is almost inevitable that we will develop genetic mutations associated with leukaemia as we age, according to... Read More

Growth signal can influence cancer cells' vulnerability to drugs, study suggests

Mar 02, 2015

Exposure to TGF-beta prompts changes that help mouse tumor stem cells evade drugsTo see how the growth signal TGF-beta influences cancer cells, the researchers used a red tag (top) to mark... Read More

Statin use associated with reduced risk of liver cancer among those in the UK

Mar 02, 2015

In a nested-case control study of individuals living in the UK, a part of the world with a relatively low incidence of liver cancer, statin use is associated with a decreased risk of liver cancer... Read More

Novel precision medicine tool could help personalize cancer treatments

Mar 02, 2015

By measuring how vigorously tumor cells turn on "self-destruct" signals when exposed to different cancer drugs, a novel lab test can predict within less than 24 hours which agent is most likely to... Read More
