Read moreFindings showcasing a connection between bacteria in the microbiome and colon cancer, which may be used to screen younger populations at risk.
Read moreResearchers found that aggressive breast cancers store glycogen in very large amounts, offering an explanation of how cells can change their function to evade treatment, grow and spread. Targeting an enzyme involved in this process could potentially treat or prevent metastases.
Read moreA novel anticancer molecule created by researchers showed therapeutic activity in preclinical models of various cancer types.
Read moreHead and neck melanoma among pediatric, adolescent and young adult populations in the United States and Canada increased by 51.1% from 1995 to 2014.
Read moreA research team has discovered a metabolic vulnerability in multiple types of cancer cells that bear a common genetic mutation affecting cellular machines called spliceosomes.
Read moreRoutine testing for bowel cancer should not be recommended for everyone aged 50-79 years because, for those at very low risk, the benefit is small and uncertain and there are potential harms, say a panel of international experts.
