A genomic analysis of lung cancer in people with no history of smoking has found that a majority of these tumors arise from the accumulation…
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Current treatments employ immunotherapy, often in combination with chemotherapy, but benefits to patients remain slight. In…
Cancers are not only made of tumor cells. In fact, as they grow, they develop an entire cellular ecosystem within and around them. This “tumor…
Overall incidence rates continue to increase in women, children and adolescents, and young adults. Overall cancer death rates continue to decline in men and women…
An artificial intelligence (AI) program accurately predicts the risk that lung nodules detected on screening CT will become cancerous, according to a study published in…
Treatments that block two sugar-transporting proteins could help slow the growth of lung tumors, new research from EPFL suggests. Blocking a pair of sugar-transporting proteins…
