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

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

Researchers shed light on why certain brain tumors don’t respond to immuno
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A study performed by UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centre researchers gave new light on why tumours that have spread to the brain from other parts of the body react to immunotherapy whereas glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, does not.

Tumour cell growth is impacted by mineralization of bone matrix: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The mineralization of the bone matrix, a fibrous mesh of organic and inorganic components that determines the distinct biochemical and biomechanical properties of our skeleton, has now been discovered by an interdisciplinary Cornell team as a new mechanism controlling tumour growth in the sk

Mineralization of bone matrix affects tumour cell growth: Research
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Tumour cells are known to be fickle sleepers, typically lying dormant in distant tissues for years before reactivating and producing metastasis. Numerous elements, ranging from cells and molecules to other components in the so-called tissue microenvironment, have been researched to determine

Study finds how Immunotherapy for brain cancer metastases displays clinica
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers discovered that 42 percent of patients with metastatic brain cancer benefited from the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab in a phase 2 clinical study, with seven patients living for more than two years. The authors emphasise that these advantages must be balanced against t

Study: Cancer cells can anticipate metastatic potential
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Cancer cells that begin metastasis, or the spread of the sickness from its origin, differ from cancer cells that remain in the original tumour. Differentiating metastasis-initiating cell types can assist clinicians in determining the severity of cancer and developing a therapy plan.

Researchers reveal how cancer cells can predict metastatic potential
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Cancer cells that commence metastasis, or the spread of the illness from its originating location, vary from cancer cells that remain in the original tumour. Differentiating metastasis-initiating cell types can help doctors identify the severity of malignancy and plan a treatment plan.

Researchers discover how cancer evades immune system detection, spreads
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A team of researchers has uncovered how cancer evades the immune system and spreads throughout the body and is investigating ways to disable this potentially harmful trait.

Study suggests how cancer spreads to the brain
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Options for treatment are limited when cancer spreads to the brain. The majority of medications made to fight metastases either cannot penetrate the blood-brain barrier or are ineffective against brain metastases.
