Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of tumor and is responsible for around 10% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The tumor is particularly dangerous when it forms metastases—i.e.

Blocking the formation of filaments—multi-enzyme structures that fuel cancer activity—may offer new ways to control cancer cell proliferation, according to a new study led by Cornell researchers.

Researchers have discovered the key role of the extracellular environment in dictating the ability of mutated cells to induce cancer formation. To form a cancer, cells need to accumulate oncogenic ...

Blood clots form in response to signals from the lungs of cancer patients—not from other organ sites, as previously thought—according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan ...

The mechanism by which breast cancer is formed in the cells of mammalian epithelium has been discovered. Although roughly 20 mutations accumulate annually in each epithelial cell until menopause, the ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a novel biomaterial-based system that induces the formation of tertiary lymphoid-like structures, or TLSs. These immune cell clusters are ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered a molecular pathway critical to the initiation of pancreatic tumors. The mechanism could also contribute to the ...

Researchers have discovered that fibroblasts, called myCAFs, send out signals to attract nerve fibers, creating a favorable environment for cancer to grow within pancreatic lesions. Now, Nigri and his ...

Doctors stage peritoneal cancer depending on the size and position of the cancer, where it has spread from, and how fast it can spread. There are two stages of primary peritoneal cancer and five ...
