by Weill Cornell Medical College A collaboration between MSK and Weill Cornell Medicine used an approach called ContactTracing to predict the effect of interactions between cells in the tumor microenvironment. The segments of the outer ring represent cell types, and the colored lines highlight ligand-receptor-mediated interactions that depend on a tumor intrinsic process called chromosomal...
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Aug 21 2023Reviewed by Sophia Coveney Recent data seems to suggest that, among people younger than 50 years, the incidence of early-onset cancers is on the rise. However, the availability of updated data is limited.Study: Patterns in Cancer Incidence Among People Younger Than 50 Years in the US, 2010 to 2019. Image Credit: EJ...
Megan Brooks Drinking sugar-laden beverages on a regular basis may increase the risk for liver cancer and death from chronic liver disease, new research suggests. The observational analyses revealed that postmenopausal women who consumed at least one sugar-sweetened beverage daily had an 85% higher risk of developing liver cancer and a 68% higher risk of dying from...
by Addison Dehaven, South Dakota State University Cancers use sugar residues to engage in multidrug resistance. The research conducted by the RAWC Lab reveals breakthrough insights into exactly how that process occurs and how it could potentially be reversed. Credit: Frontiers in Oncology (2023). DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1145333 In the United States, cancer continues to be the second leading cause...

Predictions from the OncoNPC model could enable doctors to choose targeted treatments for difficult-to-treat tumors. For a small percentage of cancer patients, doctors are unable to determine where their cancer originated. This makes it much more difficult to choose a treatment for those patients, because many cancer drugs are typically developed for specific cancer types. A...
by Thamarasee Jeewandara , Medical Xpress In situ vaccination with single-dose NvIH reduced TME immunosuppression, enhanced TME antitumor immune milieu, and elicited systemic antitumor immunity, resulting in robust immunotherapy of large poorly immunogenic tumors with abscopal effect. NvIH is composed of injectable (NVs + ICBs)-in-hydrogel that was loaded with triple immunostimulants (TLR7/8/9 and STING agonists...
by Columbia University Irving Medical Center Credit: Cell Metabolism (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.cmet.2023.06.014 Warfarin, a widely used blood thinner, appears to have potent anti-cancer properties, according to a study by Columbia University researchers. The study, conducted in human cells and in mice, found that warfarin stops tumors from interfering with a self-destruct mechanism that cells initiate when they detect...

Image: Wikipedia As the back-to-school checklist grows, one detail that parents and caregivers should prioritize is ensuring all children have their appropriate vaccines. Mayo Clinic’s Dr. Kim Barbel Johnson says the HPV vaccine should be part of a routine vaccination schedule. It’s a preventive measure that can save lives later. “HPV...
