Research sheds new light on a key cause of cancer formation during cell division and points towards potential solutions for preventing it from occurring.

A common group of childhood tumors are heavily reliant on the amino acid cysteine and researchers have discovered that depriving the tumor of cysteine leads to cancer cell death.

Researchers have identified a biological pathway that allows cancer cells to make genetic changes so they can metastasize to the bone and thrive even when exposed to chemotherapy.

A new review article emphasizes that early-onset colorectal cancer continues to steadily increase in the U.S. and other higher-income countries. Data suggest that diets with a high intake of red and processed meat, as well as refined grains and processed sugar can alter gut microbial composition increasing the risk of colorectal cancer. Experts call for new public health measures to address risk factors for colorectal cancer, including poor dietary habits and physical inactivity.

A new method of delivering chemotherapy drugs has been proposed that uses polyoxometallate nanoclusters to precisely deliver the drugs to cancerous tissue.

A plant virus that infects legumes, known as cowpea mosaic virus, can stimulate the immune system to target and destroy cancer and prevents it from recurring.

Scientists have discovered a combination therapy for treating triple-negative breast cancer that results in durable tumor regression in an animal model of the disease.

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) approach that can predict who will develop pancreatic cancer based on what their CT scan images look like prior to being diagnosed with the disease.
