According to a new study, antibiotic use may worsen melanoma by damaging the gut microbiome. According to a recent study by researchers at Emory University…
Melanoma is a potentially deadly form of skin cancer that affects people of every racial and ethnic group. Exposure to ultraviolet, or UV, rays from…
The southern and coastal regions of Canada have had higher incidences of skin cancer. In Canada, the prevalence of melanoma, a deadly type of skin cancer,…
The finding could improve cancer immunotherapy, a promising therapy that targets cancer cells using the body’s own immune system rather than radiation. Previously regarded merely…
Experimental treatment with a protein-derived molecule reduced tumor growth and metastasis as well as increased the survival rate by 25% A recent study published in…
New treatment can help regress congenital giant nevi. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Every day, roughly 9,500…
A trigger for ‘cell suicide’ might lead to new skin infection therapies Every second, one million cells in your body die. That means 2.6 pounds…
Team at Stevens Institute of Technology uses millimeter-wave imaging to slash the rate of unnecessary biopsies. Skin biopsies are unpleasant: doctors carve away small lumps…
Amyloid beta, a protein known to build-up in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, also helps skin cancer cells thrive when they spread to the brain,…
A diet rich in fiber may help some people being treated for melanoma respond to immunotherapy treatment by influencing the gut microbiome, according to a…
New test developed as mechanism of skin cancer growth understood. A pioneering test that reliably predicts the spread or return of the most deadly form…
New study uncovers molecular mechanisms that coordinate skin cell senescence. A study published today (January 11, 2022) in Cell Reports reveals important insights into the…
Two new molecules that generate minute amounts of the gas hydrogen sulfide have been found to prevent skin from aging after being exposed to ultraviolet…
