Cancer cells need proteins that bind copper ions to grow and spread around the body. New research on how cancer-related proteins bind the metal and how they interact with other proteins opens up potential new anti-cancer drug targets.

Scientists have discovered the combination of genetic alterations that tumors use to promote growth and protect themselves from death.

Researchers have examined the differences in tumor cell features for cancers with a BRCA mutation, to identify why this cancer type is more likely to recur.

A new study shows how it is now possible to map tumor development, combining the cancer cells’ genetic information, the surrounding cell types and how they interact with their environment over time.

Researchers have identified the residual cancer cells hidden in the liver and lung that cause colon cancer metastasis, in the first step to understanding and avoiding relapse.

A new study has found that the X chromosome, of which one copy is typically inactivated in XX female cells, can also be inactivated in some male cancers.

A collaborative study has found that immunization with the vaccine SinoVac might improve responses to treatment in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC).

Research has shown that antibiotics routinely used in ovarian cancer care indiscriminately kill gut bacteria, leading to faster cancer progression and lower survival rates.

A normal process called cell competition, in which healthy tissues eliminate unhealthy cells, could be responsible for cancer relapses in patients months or years after they were declared cancer-free, a new study by UT Southwestern researchers suggests.

According to a study, microRNA can be used as a biomarker to predict which patients are likely to face breast cancer recurrence and mortality.
