Researchers reveal genetics of near healthy tissue help detect lung cancer
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
New research led by NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Centre suggested that rather than analyzing the tumours themselves, genetic data from seemingly healthy tissue close to lung tumours may be a better indicator of whether cancer will recur after treatment.

Research reveals senescent immune cells promote lung tumor growth
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Macrophages are white blood cells that serve as the body's first line of defence against infection. Macrophages can launch a reaction against tumours in addition to destroying dangerous germs. However, macrophages, like other cells, can reach a state known as senescence, which is associated

Study shed new light on why cancer may spread to spine
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
According to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, the vertebral bones that make up the spine are formed by a type of stem cell that secretes a protein that promotes tumour spread. The discovery provides light on why solid tumours typically metastasise to the spine and may aid in the developme

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 shows how microdevices can be used to treat brain cancer
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
The innovative device, which is the size and shape of a grain of rice, can perform hundreds of studies at the same time to examine the impact of novel treatments on some of the most difficult-to-treat brain tumours. Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, a founding member of the Mas

Specific gene mutations accelerate growth of pancreatic tumours: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The new study, which was released in Nature Communications, explains how specific gene mutations cause pancreatic cancer to proliferate uncontrollably by turning on a "super-enhancer" that activates other genes.
