Acute myeloid leukaemia is the second most common type of acute leukaemia in childhood and can be diagnosed within a few months of life. The early onset of the disease had led to the suspicion that the tumour could have a prenatal origin. However, proving

Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, is a highly prevalent and aggressive form of the disease that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Depending on the stage of the cancer, treatment typically involves the surgical removal of cancer-affected tissue. The surgical procedures include gastrectomy

According to research published on Psicologia Reflexão e Crítica, Uruguay has the highest colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence rates among Latin American countries. CRC is the leading cause of cancer death in Uruguay, yet there remains a significant lack of awareness in Uruguayan society. Credit: BGI

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – May 30, 2024) Immunotherapy, treatments that reinvigorate immune cells’ anti-cancer activity or reprogram T cells to target cancer, has shown promise in treating leukemias but has not yet been realized in solid tumors. One reason for the stymied success is the conversion

According to the statistics of the Saudi National Cancer Registry issued by the Saudi Health Council for 2020, colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked second among types of cancer, and first in men and third in women accounting for 12.3%  with 1729 cases among all registered cancer

Boston – Four teams of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute investigators have found that people experience discrimination and bias in different ways and in more realms of cancer care than previously understood.

A recent study has introduced a novel method combining nano informatics and machine learning to precisely predict cancer cell behaviors, enabling the identification of cell subpopulations with distinct characteristics like drug sensitivity and metastatic potential. This research could transform cancer diagnosis and treatment, enhancing personalized

Immunotherapy represents the new hope in the fight against cancer; however, not all tumors respond to this treatment. Pancreatic cancer is a type of tumor that does not respond to currently approved drugs and is therefore lethal for 9 out of every 10 people diagnosed.

Tumor cells often hijack normal physiological processes to support their growth, exploiting proteins that are in charge of essential cell functions. It is therefore important to block the activity of these proteins only in cancer cells without affecting their crucial roles in healthy tissues. For
