Researchers discover genetic code of rare kidney cancer
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
For the first time, the inherited characteristics of reninoma, a rare form of kidney cancer, have been investigated. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and The Royal Free Hospital also identified a potential pharmacological target that may be used

Study finds how obesity, weight loss, hematopoietic cancer are linked
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Previous studies found that having a weight problem increases your risk of developing certain types of cancer. It is also well-known that women who are obese have higher cancer risk than males do, and that risk declines with deliberate weight loss. However, there is little proof that obesity

Study finds dental health may lower risk of head, neck cancer
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Significant correlations between dental health and survival among people with head and neck cancer were discovered by a multi-national investigation. Increased survival was linked to better oral health, as measured by the percentage of natural teeth and dental visits before diagnosis.

Skipping counselling does not increase cancer gene test distress: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
According to research published in JAMA Oncology, skipping genetic counselling before or after a distant screening for inherited risk of ovarian or breast cancer does not raise pain, worry, or depression.

Study finds lower haematological cancer risk after bariatric surgery
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Previous research revealed that being overweight or obese is a risk factor for various forms of cancer. It is also known that obese women are more likely to develop cancer than their male counterparts, and the risk level reduces with intentional weight loss. However, there is limited evidenc

Reducing stress on T cells improves their ability to fight cancer: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Even for killer T cells, which are specialised immune cells, searching for and eliminating cancer cells around the clock can be challenging. Scientists can produce stronger cancer-killing cells if they understand why killer T cells become exhausted.

Dental health may reduce head, neck cancer: Research
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A multinational study found considerable links between dental health and survival among persons with head and neck cancer. Better oral health, as examined by the number of natural teeth and dental visits previous to diagnosis, was associated with increased survival. Importantly, people who h

Researchers give more insight into reasons why cancer may spread to spine
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
According to a study conducted by scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine, the vertebral bones that make up the spine originate from a special kind of stem cell that secretes a protein that encourages tumour metastasis. The finding opens up a new area of study into spinal illnesses, sheds light

Researchers find combination of cancer inhibitors in slowing tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
In individuals with specific malignancies, including as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma, a combination of inhibitors has been shown to reduce tumour growth and prevent relapse. Their findings encourage the creation of novel therapy modalities that specifically t

Study finds how microRNA therapy slows cancer tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
The therapy, tested in mouse models, combines a delivery system that targets cancer cells with a specially modified version of microRNA-34a, a molecule that acts “like the brakes on a car,” slowing or stopping cell division, said Andrea Kasinski, lead author and the William and Patty Miller

Antioxidants stimulate blood flow in tumours: Research
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
A recent study from Karolinska Institutet published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation shows that vitamin C and other antioxidants cause the growth of new blood vessels in lung cancer tumours. The discovery supports the notion that antioxidant-rich dietary supplements can hasten cancer
