Study reveals how cancers in distant organs change liver function
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine found that cancer often releases molecules into the bloodstream that pathologically modify the liver, sending it into an inflammatory state, causing fat accumulation, and disrupting its typical detoxification processes. This finding sheds light on one of

AI predicts future pancreatic cancer: Research
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
The findings, published May 8 in Nature Medicine, suggest that AI-based population screening could be valuable in finding those at elevated risk for the disease and could expedite the diagnosis of a condition found all too often at advanced stages when treatment is less effective and outc

Study reveals how microbiome might affect pancreatic cancer outcomes
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Despite advances in pancreatic cancer treatment, only around 9% of patients live beyond five years. Researchers have failed to identify genetic distinctions that explain why some patients live for a long time and others do not, so they have moved their focus to the gut microbiome.

Tumor initiation in pancreatic cancer driven by stress-tolerant cells: Stu
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A molecular mechanism important for the development of pancreatic cancers has been found by researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. The mechanism could possibly contribute to the disease's great resistance to treatment and proclivity for metastasis.
