The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today was awarded nearly $8 million from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) in support of faculty recruitment as well as lung and colorectal cancer screening and early detection programs to address cancer incidence rates across Texas.
In work published in Nature, researchers’ structural insights help reveal a weak spot in malaria’s plan of attack which could help guide vaccine design.
A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center finds that, in healthy women, some breast cells that otherwise appear normal may contain chromosome abnormalities typically associated with invasive breast cancer. The findings question conventional thinking on the genetic origins of breast cancer, which could influence early cancer detection methods. The study, published today in Nature, discovered that at least 3% of normal cells from breast tissue in 49 healthy women contain a gain or loss of chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy, and that they expand and accumulate with age. This poses questions for our understanding of “normal” tissues, according to principal investigator Nicholas Navin, Ph.D., chair of Systems Biology.
Roswell Park experts representing various specialties will highlight innovative research and advancements in hematology and hematologic cancers at the 66th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), to be held December 7-10 in San Diego, California.
A new treatment approach developed at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has shown promising results in a phase 1 clinical trial for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most aggressive type of breast cancer. Results of the study are newly reported in The Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer.
A study led by UC Davis distinguished professor Andreas Bäumler uncovered how Salmonella, a major cause of food poisoning, can invade the gut despite the presence of protective bacteria.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is honored to participate in 2024 CCHIO. NCCN has taken numerous strides in recent years to increase the global accessibility and relevance of NCCN Guidelines as a tool for helping people with cancer to live better lives, including multiple collaborations with leading oncology groups in China.
Community partnerships led to a specialized clinic delivering COVID and flu shots to individuals with neurodevelopmental conditions like autism at the MIND Institute.
Newly-published NCCN Guidelines for Patients: Quitting Smoking explains what the evidence and expert consensus is on how to best use the tools that exist to help anyone quit for good.
Childhood trauma can increase a breast cancer survivor’s chance of experiencing more severe and longer-lasting treatment-related anxiety, depression and fatigue, as well as reduced cognitive function, years after cancer treatment has ended, according to a preliminary study led by Jamie Myers, Ph.D., FAAN, research associate professor at the University of Kansas School of Nursing.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Research Highlights showcases the latest breakthroughs in cancer care, research and prevention. These advances are made possible through seamless collaboration between MD Anderson’s world-leading clinicians and scientists, bringing discoveries from the lab to the clinic and back.
Below are summaries of recent Fred Hutch Cancer Center research findings, patient stories and other news.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today honored Tiffany Richards, Ph.D., A.P.R.N., A.N.P.-B.C., A.O.C.N.P., with the 2024 Brown Foundation Award for Excellence in Oncology Nursing.
New MSK research marks a potential advance against RAS-driven cancers; breaks down data silos to better predict cancer outcomes with the help of artificial intelligence (AI); identifies two enzymes vital for maintaining brain health; uncovers how changes to “helper” proteins drive cancer cell survival; develops a new model for investigating lung cancer metastasis; and uses AI to improve outcome predictions in sarcoma.
Along with defending against pathogens, the body’s innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways — ways that have important implications for the development of cancer, researchers at MSK are discovering.
William K. Oh, MD, has been appointed as Medical Director of Smilow Cancer Hospital at Greenwich Hospital, as well as Director of Precision Medicine for Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital.
Ivan Maillard, MD, PhD, has been named Head of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies within the Department of Medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK).
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today announced the selection of Jennifer Bickel, M.D., as the institution’s inaugural vice president and chief wellness officer (CWO). She will begin on January 6, 2025. Working closely with the senior vice president of people, culture and infrastructure, as well as the chief academic officer, she will spearhead initiatives that prioritize employee well-being, professional fulfillment and community resilience.
A new study has found a surprising link between high levels of methylmalonic acid and the weakening of CD8+ T cells, shedding light on potential pathways through which aging may promote lung cancer progression. Moffitt Cancer Center researchers have found new insights into how metabolic changes associated with aging can impact immune responses against tumors.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and fittingly, University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center biologist Curt Hines, PhD, has published a pair of papers that comprehensively describe the twelve major types of cells in the human breast.
