Carcinoma is cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.

Scientists develop a novel approach, enabling spatial mapping of single-cell data within tissue

Scientists develop a new approach that efficiently integrates information from parallel gene-expression profiling methods at single-cell resolution.

Research describes dynamic genomic landscape of tumor heterogeneity in hepatocellular carcinoma

Clinician scientists and scientists from the National Cancer Centre Singapore and A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore, in collaboration with Singapore General Hospital, the National University Health System, Duke-NUS Medical School, Nanyang Technological University, and collaborators from China, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, have described a dynamic genomic landscape of tumour heterogeneity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

New classification method divides breast cancers into 12 distinct biological groups

Researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have taken a major step forward in melding two key methods for studying breast cancer: one by genetic analysis and the second by looking at the architecture of cells, or their pathology.

Lung cancer: Cholesterol metabolism of tumor-associated macrophages found to be severely compromised

Significant changes in lipid metabolism are known to occur in cells associated with non-small-cell lung carcinoma – the most common form of lung cancer.

Novel therapeutic approach forces cancer cells to dormancy, prevents metastasis

A novel therapeutic approach inhibits the growth of metastatic tumors in mice by coercing cancer cells into a dormant state—where they cannot proliferate.

25 Nov 2021

MIT researchers identify a way to indirectly activate T cells to fight tumors

Under the right circumstances, the body's T cells can detect and destroy cancer cells. However, in most cancer patients, T cells become disarmed once they enter the environment surrounding a tumor.

Targeting Shp2 as a cancer therapy may worsen the disease

In recent years, much scientific effort and funding has focused on developing drugs that target an enzyme with the unwieldy name of Src homology 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 or more briefly, Shp2.

10 Nov 2021

Research uncovers key component of cellular malfunction that contributes to tumor growth

Scientists have homed in on a crucial step within the sequence of chemical reactions that govern regulation of cell division, proliferation and death, and whose malfunction contributes to the growth of tumors.

Immune cell patterns can help predict kidney cancer patients' response to immunotherapy

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and UCL have found immune cell patterns within tumors that can help predict if patients with kidney cancer will respond to immunotherapy.

29 Oct 2021

Targeted drug shows promise against brain metastases from kidney cancer

A targeted drug has shown promising activity against brain metastases resulting from kidney cancer, achieving a 50 percent response rate, and supporting further studies of the drug in this patient group whose poor prognosis has created a significant unmet need.

22 Oct 2021

New technology efficiently delivers immune checkpoint inhibitors for treating brain tumors

Multi-institutional researchers have succeeded in efficiently delivering an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) into the mouse brain, confirming its high efficacy and specificity in treating orthotopically transplanted mice with glioblastoma (GBM). The research was published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.

Researchers find a new way to counter immunosuppressive effect in tumors

Malignant tumors can enhance their ability to survive and spread by suppressing antitumor immune cells in their vicinity, but a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian has uncovered a new way to counter this immunosuppressive effect.

21 Sep 2021

Scientists develop a novel approach to analyze tumor evolution

A group of scientists from the University of Texas at Austin created a novel approach to tag tumor cells to identify how they evolve and change eventually to resist cancer treatments.

Research provides a detailed 'proteogenomic' view of lung squamous cell carcinoma

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-associated death in the United States and worldwide. Patients with a subtype called lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have benefited from the development of new targeted medicines, but the search for effective new therapies for another subtype called lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has largely come up short.
