Gyms are places people go to get healthier. But nearly half the gyms in the U.S. contain a potentially addictive carcinogen - tanning beds, report UConn researchers.

Researchers have discovered the molecular means by which some cancers caused by errors in the gene BRCA1 evade treatment by drugs custom-tailored to kill them.

Research has shown for the first time that a tiny piece of RNA deregulates energy metabolism, an emerging hallmark of cancer. The finding identifies a new target for therapeutic intervention in breast cancer.

Scientists have made a major discovery about how cells repair broken strands of DNA that could have huge implications for the treatment of cancer.

The largest coordinated research effort to study biological and non-biological factors associated with aggressive prostate cancer in African-American men has begun.

Scientists at Stanford used the wire to capture free-floating tumor cells in the blood, a technique that soon could be used in humans to yield an earlier cancer diagnosis.

Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have identified a new potential target protein (c-Cbl) they believe can help further the understanding of colon cancer and ultimately survival of patients with the disease.

A new molecule designed by University of Adelaide researchers shows great promise for future treatment of many cancers. The new molecule successfully targets a protein that plays a major role in the growth of most cancers.

The components of the immune system that trigger allergic reactions may also help protect the skin against cancer, suggest new findings.

Studying two rare inherited cancer syndromes, scientists have found the cancers are driven by a breakdown in how cells repair their DNA. The discovery suggests a promising strategy for treatment with drugs recently approved for other forms of cancer, said the researchers.
