By sequencing the genomes of tumor cells, thousands of genetic mutations have been linked with cancer. Sifting through this deluge of information to figure out which of these mutations actually drive…

Metastasis of breast cancer occurs when cells move from the primary tumor to other parts of the body. A new study found a link between a transcription factor known to regulate speech and language…

Though health care is free, it doesn't always come without a cost. The United Kingdom is behind most countries in lung cancer survival and the big reason is because it goes undiagnosed. It isn't…

Cancer-driving genomic aberrations in localized lung cancer appear are so consistently present across tumors that a single biopsy of one region of the tumor is likely to identify most of them,…

No matter what type of chemotherapy you attack a tumor with, many cancer cells resort to the same survival tactic: They start eating themselves. This autophagy process happens when two proteins pair…

It's not a movie about zombies, but it's a Halloween nightmare - at night while we sleep unaware, something deadly grows and spreads quickly. In a surprise finding, Weizmann Institute of…

Researchers are investigating a possible association between breast implants and a form of lymphoma that may develop tumors at a later stage. The researchers conclude that breast implants can cause a…

A few years ago there was concern that poor people did not have access to the best health care because of high cost, but two new papers find that spending is actually too high. The first study…

A research group has discovered that AIM - Apoptosis Inhibitor of Macrophage - a protein that plays a preventive role in obesity progression, can also prevent tumor development in mice liver cells.…

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, which is why so many medical professionals encourage women to get mammograms. But the tests are not very accurate: only a minority…
