By assessing how 'sticky' tumor cells are, researchers have found a potential way to predict whether a patient's early-stage breast cancer is likely to spread. The discovery could help doctors ...

Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other resources, including a group of enzymes that help normal cells maintain a balance of energy.

Typical carcinoids are grade 1 cancers. They are slow growing and less likely to spread outside the lungs. The cancer cells look very like normal cells. Doctors also call these well differentiated ...

ER+/PR+ breast cancer, common and hormone-responsive, offers a better prognosis and is key in treatment research advancements ...

“The results remind us: Don’t forget the basophil,” said study author Chih-Hao Chang, a cancer immunologist at The Jackson Laboratory. While most current research and immunotherapeutic strategies ...

Disruption of a Single Amino Acid in a Cellular Protein Makes Breast Cancer Cells Behave Like Stem Cells Feb. 11, 2025 — Changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found ...

There are many kinds of germ cell tumors, and only some of them are cancer. Germ cells don’t ... a group of germ cells grows in a way that’s not normal. A tumor forms. This usually happens ...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among both men and women. Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are the two main types of lung cancer. Most lung ...

Immune cells might be reprogrammed to use the body’s fructose — a naturally occurring sugar — as an energy source that supercharges them to fight cancer, researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer ...

UC San Diego researchers have developed a device that predicts breast cancer aggressiveness by measuring tumor cell adhesion. Weakly adherent cells indicate a higher risk of metastasis, especially in ...
