Could knowing where your ancestors came from be the key to better cancer treatments? Maybe, but where would that key fit? How can we trace cancer's ancestral roots to modern-day solutions? For Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Research Professor Alexander Krasnitz, the answers may lie dee
According to new research, mice with colorectal cancer who have tumours with high levels of ammonia have fewer T cells and are less responsive to immunotherapy. Ammonia, which is crucial for anti-tumor immunity, has been demonstrated to impede the proliferation and operation of T cells.
The sympathetic nervous system tumour known as neuroblastoma mainly affects young children. In the Netherlands, 25 kids are given this diagnosis per year. An essential component of the therapy strategy is surgery to remove the tumour tissue. Since November 2014, the Princess Maxima Center fo
The surgical approach is frequently not decided when a patient has surgery to remove a tumour or treat an illness. In order to decide how much tissue needs to be removed, surgeons need to know more about the condition they are treating, such as a tumor's margins, its stage, and whether a les
The findings of a new study suggest that nano-sized membrane bubbles known as extracellular vesicles activate the immune system in mice and seem to render their tumours sensitive to a type of immunotherapy drug called a checkpoint inhibitor.
According to research published in the journal 'Nature Communications', highly active cells were found in a tumour which showed how they grow and attack normal tissues of the body.
Researchers at Michigan Medicine have developed a new biomarker-based technique to screen for a rare and fatal consequence caused by monoclonal antibodies, which are used to treat a variety of tumours.
Neuroblastoma is a tumour of the sympathetic nervous system that occurs mainly in young children. Every year, 25 children in the Netherlands receive this diagnosis. Surgery to remove the tumour tissue forms an important part of the treatment plan. Since November 2014, care for children in th
Affecting young children, neuroblastoma is a sympathetic nervous system tumour. In the Netherlands, this diagnosis is given to 25 kids each year. Surgery to remove the tumour tissue is a crucial component of the therapeutic strategy. Since November 2014, treatment for Dutch children with sol
Researchers have described prostate cancer cell dynamics at a single-cell resolution across the whole course of the disease, from the first stages to the point of androgen independence, where the tumour stops responding to hormone restriction therapy.
Surgery requires a variety of instruments and methods, as well as the skill of the surgeon, especially when removing cancerous tumours. Surgery to remove lung cancer tumours will now be a little bit more precise thanks to the new imaging agent Cytalux.
