New research validates that pyrvinium, a drug that has been used for decades for intestinal pinworms, can be repurposed as a preventative treatment for stomach cancer.

A new genetic study has examined the relationship between male pattern baldness and skin cancer, suggesting that increased sun exposure may be at least partly responsible for this link – not dysregulated testosterone levels.

Measuring circulating tumor DNA may lead to alternative treatment options and better outcomes for patients with advanced BRAF-negative melanoma, report investigates in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.

Residing in a more walkable neighborhood protects against the risk of overall obesity-related cancers in women, specifically postmenopausal breast cancer, but also ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and multiple myeloma.

Researchers have identified protein markers that could signal for early development of metastatic lung cancer, providing possibilities for new treatment.

A new small-molecule drug candidate being tested in an early-stage clinical trial aims to improve patient responses to immunotherapy. Now scientists have shown that the small molecule works through two different mechanisms.

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a debilitating yet all-too-common condition, which can severely affect quality of life for patients undergoing treatment. For those struggling with CRF, there have been no effective pharmaceutical treatments.

Researchers from UQ and The Alfred hospital in Melbourne have identified gene variants which may contribute to people being at higher risk for nodular melanoma.

Researchers have identified a genetic explanation for why some childhood cancer survivors develop second cancers. The findings could inform clinical genetic testing and adoption of appropriate cancer screening and prevention strategies.

Researchers have developed a new approach for treating invasive bladder cancer without the need for surgical removal of the bladder. Removing the bladder is currently a standard approach when cancer has invaded the muscle layer of the bladder.
