‘Decoy’ implants could replace dangerous cancer biopsies
Taking samples from a tiny “decoy” implant just beneath the skin could replace invasive procedures to biopsy tissue from cancer-tainted organs, new research in mice shows. These devices have a knack...
View ArticleCancer’s ‘addiction’ could be a way to defeat it
Some cancers are hooked on particular molecules. New research with gastric cancer “organoids” lends credence to the idea that denying cancer these compounds could kill it. Elizabeth Vincan’s research...
View ArticleBreast cancer cells shift metabolism to spread
Breast cancer cells can shift their metabolism to metastasize, according to a new study. Instead of cycling sugar (glucose) for energy, the cells preferentially use mitochondrial metabolism,...
View ArticleProtein signals if non-small cell lung cancer will spread
Researchers have identified a protein on tumor-derived extracellular vesicles that indicates if a non-small cell lung cancer tumor is likely to metastasize, according to a new study. Non-small cell...
View ArticleCan 1 gene unlock the mystery of cancer metastasis?
Our own pre-existing genetics can promote cancer metastasis, researchers report. Sometimes cancer stays put, but often it metastasizes, spreading to new locations in the body. Scientists have long...
View ArticleSwitch ‘turns off’ breast cancer metastasis in mice
Researchers have identified a gene that causes an aggressive form of breast cancer to rapidly grow in animal models. More importantly, they have also discovered a way to “turn it off” and inhibit...
View ArticleKey protein tweak may stop cancer’s spread
The new discovery of a key protein behind cancer relapse and progression could lead to new therapies, researchers report. In a their new study, the researchers found that the MBNL1 protein acts a...
View ArticleGenes may help predict prostate cancer metastasis risk
Researchers have discovered human gene markers that work together to cause metastatic prostate cancer– cancer that spreads beyond the prostate. In their new study in Nature Cancer, researchers examined...
View Article‘Hot spots’ may improve breast cancer mapping
Using a new technique, researchers have found tiny and previously undetectable “hot spots” of extremely high stiffness inside aggressive and invasive breast cancer tumors. Their findings suggest, for...
View ArticleBreast cancer cells spread during sleep
Circulating breast cancer cells that later form metastases mainly arise during a person’s sleep phase, a new study shows. To date, cancer research has not paid much attention to the question of when...
