A new combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy shows promise for treating inoperable malignant pleural mesothelioma, according to new research.

A novel mechanism of chemoresistance has been identified, which is driven by the Unfolded Protein Response, a cellular stress response pathway that alters gene expression and cellular metabolism to promote adaption and cell survival upon accumulation of unfolded proteins.

A good vitamin D status is advantageous both in cancer prevention and in the prognosis of several cancers, according to a new research review.

A team of researchers has replicated cancer cells from diseased bladder tissue in dogs, minimizing the use of costly stem cell products.

A research team has developed a method to artificially produce a fungal compound capable of rearming the self-destruct gene in certain cancer cells, providing a potential cancer therapeutic strategy.

Key recommendations, which were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, include a strong endorsement to perform genetic testing of all men with metastatic prostate cancer to inform precision medicine or clinical trial eligibility.

Researchers have developed a method for identifying functional mutations and their effect on genes relevant to the development of glioblastoma – an aggressive type of brain cancer.

A new study suggests that chemotherapy might not be the only culprit in neuropathy, a neurological side effect of cancer treatment, cancer itself also contributes heavily.

A study describes a new strategy for tackling cancer, based on inducing potent stress in tumors, causing cell destruction by autophagy. The mechanism has been investigated using a novel antitumor drug "ABTL0812".

Researchers have uncovered further insights into how the replication of DNA occurs, which could be applied to help develop novel cancer treatments.
