Hypermutation in children may be linked to increased mutations in the sperm of the biological father, especially fathers who received certain forms of chemotherapy to treat cancer early in life.
Most cancer patients who used medical cannabis reported a significant improvement in pain measures and a decrease in some other cancer-related symptoms. Additionally, medical cannabis use reduced the consumption of traditional, opioid-based pain killers for those with cancer.
Study reveals the ZNF117 gene is a major regulator of glioblastoma tumor cells.
COVID-19 breakthrough cases that result in severe infection, hospitalization, or death are more likely in those with cancer and Alzheimer's patients.
The Cinderella Project aims to restore positive body image for survivors of breast cancer following mastectomy and reconstructive surgeries.
Researchers have developed drug-carrying nanoparticles that cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing for more effective delivery to the brain than conventional medications. The nanoparticles can get into tumors and kill glioblastoma brain cancer cells.
Researchers say the gut microbiome may be a viable targetable biomarker to improve immunotherapy responses in those with glioblastoma and a range of other cancers.
Infiltrating gliomas are shaped by their genetic evolution and microenvironment, researchers report. The findings may help in the development of therapies to treat glioma brain tumors.
Eliminating Collagen 1 production in tumor cells allowed animal models of brain tumors to live longer.
Researchers found a positive correlation between glioblastoma cell proliferation and lactate metabolic indicators. Based on this observation, the researchers developed a biomimetic formulation using targeted delivery agents for lactate metabolism-based synergistic therapy against glioblastoma brain cancer.
Dementia patients with a history of cancer demonstrate better cognition at dementia diagnosis than their peers with no history of cancer.
