5+ min ago   (53+ words) Triple-negative breast cancer is the form of the disease that clinicians fear most. Lacking the three molecular targets — the estrogen receptor, the progesterone receptor and the HER2 protein — that anchor modern targeted therapies, it leaves patients with fewer options and a…...

21+ min ago   (571+ words) For patients diagnosed with small kidney cancers tucked dangerously close to the organ’s blood vessels, urine-collecting system, or neighboring bowel, treatment options have long been fraught with compromise. Surgery risks sacrificing precious kidney function, while conventional heat-based ablation risks burning…...

21+ min ago   (55+ words) Immune checkpoint inhibitors have rewritten the outlook for some patients with gastrointestinal cancers, turning once uniformly fatal diagnoses into manageable chronic conditions for a fortunate minority. Yet for every dramatic response there are many more patients whose tumours barely flinch,…...

21+ min ago   (758+ words) Scientists in Japan have taken one of the most detailed looks yet at how large-scale genome disruption inside tumor cells may quietly rewire the immune landscape around them, and their findings could help explain why some cancers mount virtually no…...

30+ min ago   (75+ words) Gastric cancer continues to rank among the most lethal malignancies worldwide, and a new study published in Medical Oncology has identified a molecular culprit that may explain how tumors in the stomach not only grow aggressively but also dismantle the…...

30+ min ago   (54+ words) Scientists in Sweden have confirmed that a single immune-related protein, measured in the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord, falls steadily as Huntington’s disease advances — and that this decline mirrors how sick patients actually become. The protein,…...

30+ min ago   (56+ words) Scientists probing why people with Parkinson’s disease so often suffer fragile, fracture-prone bones have uncovered new molecular evidence that the two conditions may be linked by a shared signaling network spanning the brain and the skeleton. A new preclinical study,…...
