Researchers capture 'most complete' picture of gene expression in cancer cell cycle
Mar 07, 2014
Uncontrolled cell growth and division is a hallmark of cancer. Now a research project led by the University of Dundee has provided the most complete description to date of the gene activity which takes place as human cells divide. Read More
Researchers show that infecting just one tumor with a virus could boost the systemic effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy
Mar 07, 2014
A Ludwig Cancer Research study suggests that the clinical efficacy of checkpoint blockade, a powerful new strategy to harness the immune response to treat cancers, might be dramatically improved if combined with oncolytic virotherapy, an investigational intervention that employs viruses to destroy tumors.

Novel cancer vaccine holds promise against ovarian cancer, mesothelioma
Mar 07, 2014
A novel approach to cancer immunotherapy - strategies designed to induce the immune system to attack cancer cells - may provide a new and cost-effective weapon against some of the most deadly tumors, including ovarian cancer and mesothelioma. Read More
A new way to profile immune cells in blood
Mar 07, 2014
When a person becomes sick or is exposed to an unwelcome substance, the body mobilizes specific proportions of different immune cells in the blood. Methods of discovering and detecting those profiles are therefore useful both clinically and in research. In a new paper in the journal Genome Biology, a team of scientists describes a new and uniquely advantageous way to detect them. Read More

Young nonmelanoma skin cancer survivors more likely to get other cancers later
Mar 07, 2014
People who had nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) were at increased risk for subsequently developing melanoma and 29 other cancer types, and this association was much higher for those under 25 years of age, according to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.NMSC is the most common type of skin cancer.

Radiation and chemotherapies could be more effective in treating the most common and deadly of all cancers by eliminating Mcl-1
Mar 07, 2014
Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) have discovered a protein, Mcl-1, that helps enable one of the most common and deadly types of cancer to survive radiation and drug treatments. Read More
