Precision Medicine in oncology, where genetic testing is used to determine the best drugs to treat cancer patients, is not always so precise when applied to some of the world's more diverse populations, according to a study led by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), an affiliate of City of Hope, and the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC).
From an analysis of more than 2,000 tumors spanning 12 types of human cancer, scientists have identified 27 new genes that could stop the disease in its tracks.
US vascular surgeon John Martin found cancerous cells in his own neck while testing a portable ultrasound device called Butterfly iQ.
Patient participation in clinical trials for cancer patients has been in decline. Researchers determine the barriers prohibiting participation.
Scientists may have found an innovative way to kill off cancer cells in acute myeloid leukemia(AML), all the while preserving and regenerating healthy red blood cells.
British scientists have worked out how many changes it takes to transform a healthy cell into a cancer.
Synthetic gene circuits that only trigger powerful, tumor-specific immune responses when they detect certain disease markers may help immunotherapies to fight cancer more effectively, according to a new study.
Androgen-deprivation therapy, which is a common treatment for prostate cancer, has been tentatively linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A new study solidifies these concerns.
The FDA has approved a second chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for cancer: Kite Pharma's axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta) for the treatment of certain types of refractory large B-cell lymphoma, the agency announced.
Scientists from the Cancer Biomarkers laboratory team of the Institute of Cancer Research in the UK have carried out research to demonstrate the use of a quick genetic test for the targeted treatment of prostate cancer.
