New research has shown that vitamin C can enhance the immunogenic properties of dendritic cells, a cell type that could be used as an anticancer therapy.

Some leukemias – so-called "chameleon cancers" – evade treatment by changing their appearance and identity by changing the read-out of their DNA, a new study has found.

A team of scientists has uncovered the mechanics of the blood-tumor barrier, laying the foundation for more effective treatments for medulloblastoma, the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor.

New research suggests that pancreatic cancer could be identified in patients up to three years earlier than current diagnoses, using early indicators such as weight loss and increasing blood glucose levels.

A new breast cancer test could detect women who are less likely to respond to a standard breast cancer treatment – and could help improve treatment for these women by giving them other treatment options earlier.

Researchers have discovered that certain species of bacteria in the gut produce “genotoxins”. These toxins can cause DNA damage and may influence the development of colorectal cancer. Their research is published in the journal Science.

Researchers from the University of Bristol have demonstrated a new method to reprogram immune cells, making them more effective at slowing the growth of melanoma cells.

Researchers say that a polygenic hazard score could be an effective tool for predicting genetic risk of lethal prostate cancer.

Researchers have developed and validated a machine learning-based method to predict which patients with early-stage melanoma are most likely to experience a cancer recurrence.

Researchers have discovered that finger-like cellular protrusions on cells called filopodia contribute to building a barrier surrounding breast tumors.
