In work published in Nature, researchers鈥� structural insights help reveal a weak spot in malaria鈥檚 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 鈥渘ormal鈥� 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 B盲umler 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鈥檚 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.
