A comprehensive map of genes necessary for cancer survival is one step closer, following the validation of the two largest CRISPR-Cas9 genetic screens in 725 cancer models, across 25 different cancer types.

Researchers are exploring the use of experimental medication to prevent heart disease for chemo-resistant ovarian cancer

Researchers have identified a promising new drug combination that could significantly help the immune system target cancer cells and kill them.

A study by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center and the University of Chicago suggests that gut bacteria can penetrate tumour cells and boost the effectiveness of an experimental immunotherapy that targets the CD47 protein.

Scientists are developing a combined vaccine to fight the most deadly form of brain cancer.

Some advanced tumours can harbour cells that have accumulated more than 100 chromosomes, instead of 46 in normal cells. High levels of aneuploidy are associated with aggressive cancers and a poor prognosis for patients. But according to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory investigator Jason Sheltzer and colleagues, not all aneuploidies spur cancer’s progression.

According to results from a Phase I/IIa trial at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, treatment with cord […]

To gain an infinite lifespan, cancer cells need to maintain the ends of their chromosomes, known as telomeres. They achieve […]
