Every fifth incidence of Cancer arises through the smoke The German cancer research center, in a recent study, three anti-Smoking policies, could prevent up to the year 2050, a million cancers. The measures include increasing taxes on cigarettes continuously, a complete advertising ban for tobacco products, and a unified neutral packaging for all cigarette brands. […]
A new type of test that uses complex sugars to detect prostate cancer earlier and with greater accuracy is being developed by researchers at the University of Birmingham. The test works by identifying sugars, known as glycans, in blood. These sugars are attached to protein molecules called PSA and are known to undergo distinct but […]
A recent study conducted by the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CU Medicine) discovered a novel genetic biomarker which can predict the survival of head and neck cancer patients. There are over 0.7 million new head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cases globally each year. However, currently there is […]
Lung cancer is one of the most serious types of cancer to be diagnosed, as it’s usually difficult to spot until it has spread to other parts of the body. You could be at risk of the disease if you notice that your skin has a yellow-tinge. Lung cancer is one of the most common […]
A clinical trial led by Mount Sinai researchers has showed for the first time that combining chemotherapy and immunotherapy can slow down metastatic bladder cancer. The trial also showed that immunotherapy alone may be an option for a subset of patients with metastatic bladder cancer if their tumor expresses a high level of a protein […]
Scientists at the Department of Infection and Immunity of the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH) revealed a novel mechanism through which the immune system can control autoimmunity and cancer. In the special focus of the researchers were regulatory T cells—a specific type of white blood cells that in general act as a brake on the […]
An analysis of 13,000 tumors highlights two previously overlooked genes as potential new therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. The researchers have also identified potential new therapeutic targets for male infertility. Both findings are the result of the most comprehensive evolutionary analysis of RNA modification proteins to date, published today in the journal Genome Biology. RNA […]
To replace aging and worn cells, the body primarily uses a process called mitosis, in which one cell divides into two. When a cell is ready to divide, it duplicates its DNA so a complete copy is available for each of the daughter cells. In this process, the DNA pieces, or chromosomes, must be precisely […]
Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers to be diagnosed in the UK. You should consider speaking to a doctor if you notice that your stools are looser than normal, or if you’re going to the toilet more often. Bowel cancer is a general term for any cancer that develops in the large […]
Early GP referrals are likely to lead to cancer patients surviving longer, a study by King’s College London and funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has found. The analysis of 1.4 million cancer patients in England published today in the British Journal of General Practice, led by King’s College London and Public […]
