Scientists have identified a potential driver of aggressive lung cancer tumors in patients who live in areas with high levels of violent crime. Their study found that stress responses differ between those living in neighborhoods with higher and lower levels of violent crime, and between cancerous and healthy tissues in the same individuals.Â
DNA/RNA material contained in circulating extracellular vesicles secreted into the bloodstream by tumor cells captures cancer genomics and transcriptomic evolution in patients with metastatic prostate cancer, according to a new study.Â
A new study details the critical influence of CD5, a key immunomodulatory protein, on engineered T-cell therapies, which is the foundational basis of the clinical-stage cell therapy company Vittoria Biotherapeutics’ proprietary Senza5TM platform.
Avenda Health, an AI healthcare company, announced the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has assigned a national payment rate for the company’s innovative prostate cancer mapping technology, Unfold AI.Â
To help accelerate research into new treatments for acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is partnering with NCI on the myeloMATCH (Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice) precision medicine umbrella trial.Â
The phase III ARANOTE trial, investigating Nubeqa (darolutamide) plus androgen deprivation therapy in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, has met its primary endpoint of radiological progression-free survival. Nubeqa plus ADT demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful increase in rPFS compared to placebo plus ADT.
A Hologic-commissioned survey from Gallup reveals that while most women across the United States understand the significance of regular health screenings, an estimated 72 million have missed or postponed a recommended screening.Â
Those living in disadvantaged neighborhoods have significantly higher activity of stress-related genes, research suggests, which could contribute to higher rates of aggressive prostate cancer in African American men.Â
The socioeconomic status of cell donors affects the health outcomes of blood cancer patients who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School.Â
Current screening protocols fail to catch a notable number of people carrying genetic mutations associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and Lynch syndrome, which increase the risk of developing certain cancers. This issue is particularly pronounced among underrepresented minorities.Â
