An immune therapy for the most aggressive form of breast cancer can substantially reduce the risk of the disease returning, according to a clinical trial led by Professor Peter Schmid of Queen Mary University of London.

Researchers have used the gene cutting tool CRISPR to make cuts in DNA around lengthy tumor genes, which can be used to collect sequence information.

A new study examines reasons why colon cancer is more deadly in pediatric-age and young adult patients than adults age 25 and over. This finding suggests the need for more intensive surveillance and treatment in those who have symptoms.

Intake of dairy milk is associated with a greater risk of breast cancer in women, according to a new study. According to the study authors, consuming as little as 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dairy milk per day was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer of 30%.

Scientists have designed tiny nanoparticles that can specifically navigate to, and target, cancer cells.

A missing or extra copy of a single chromosome creates an imbalance known as "aneuploidy". Now, researchers have discovered that not all aneuploidies spur cancer’s progression – some actually inhibit a cancer’s ability to metastasize.

Researchers from The Francis Crick Institute have discovered that lung cancer cells can support the survival of breast cancer cells, allowing them to hibernate inside the lung before they begin to form secondary tumors.

Using human lung cancer cells, researchers have discovered how cells modulate their energy consumption based on their surroundings, and how cancer cells override those cues to maximize energy use.

The 'reproducibility crisis' has become a significant issue in modern science and one journal editor has penned an article suggesting that, for journals, a "no raw data, no science" approach to article approval may be required to avert further damage to the scientific method.

Combining HDAC and MAPK/ERK inhibitors could present a novel and effective approach to preventing medulloblastoma, according to a new study.
