For small kidney cancers, freezing better option than heat treatment
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
For patients with early-stage renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) that measure between 3 and 4 centimeters, a procedure that destroys the cancer by freezing - called cryoablation - yields a lower-risk of cancer-related death compared to heat-based thermal ablation, reports a preliminary study in T

Carbon ultrafine particles accelerate lung cancer progression
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
While it may seem common knowledge that smoking is bad for your lungs, if and how ultrafine particles present in cigarette smoke impact the development and progression of lung cancer remains unclear. Working with animal models, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine sought to find how air

Simultaneous radiation, immunotherapy beneficial for subset of lung cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In many cancer types, cancer cells try to survive by escaping attack from the immune system. These cancer cells hijack mechanisms called immune checkpoints to trick the immune system into thinking they are healthy cells. Recent advances in cancer treatment have focused on developing immune c

New study sheds light on growth of human triple negative breast cancers
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Basal-like breast cancers, also known as triple-negative cancers, are a particularly aggressive subtype of breast cancer with limited treatment options. Although the origin of luminal (cells that line the surface of the breast duct) and basal subtypes of breast cancer is unknown, studies sug

Appendiceal cancer gets its own preclinical model
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Appendiceal cancer (malignancies of the appendix, a small tissue pouch that is part of the gastrointestinal tract) is very rare, occurring in perhaps one or two people per 1 million per year. Prognoses are mixed, with a 5-year survival rate of 67 to 97 per cent for low-grade tumours detected

Cancer fighting nanoparticles deliver a chemotherapy drug, immunotherapy:
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers found and developed nanoparticles that simultaneously carry chemotherapy and a new immunotherapy. Chemotherapy is a pillar of cancer treatment, but residual cancer cells can persist and cause tumor relapse.

Study suggests protein plays a key role in immunotherapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The study found protein is crucial in helping malignancies avoid immune attacks. The "fragile X mental retardation protein" (FMRP) is a protein that controls a network of genes and cells in the tumor microenvironment that help the tumor "hidden" from immune cells.

Lung cancer screening helps to increase survival rate of cancer patients
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Researchers found lung cancer screenings useful to increase survival rate of cancer patients. Early-stage lung cancer is detected by low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening.

Recent research identifies rise in cervical cancer among women
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Cervical cancer is mostly related to human papillomavirus (HPV), and screening has made this cancer preventable. Yet, it is estimated that over 14,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year and more than 4,000 deaths will be attributed to cervical cancer.
