A new study led by researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has found that many cases of high-risk nonmetastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer may be more advanced than previously thought.
Researchers from City of Hope, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Weill Cornell Medical College, the University of Pennsylvania, and NIH have developed a way to add features to T cells to help them overcome mechanisms of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy resistance. The new system is outlined in a paper published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
Several physicians and lymphoma experts who work closely with the Lymphoma Research Foundation presented abstracts at the 66th annual ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, CA on Dec. 7-10, 2024.
One or two doses of psilocybin, a compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, may improve the mental health of cancer patients when accompanied by psychotherapy, a new report suggests.

A retrospective cohort study in women with breast cancer suggests that low oral doses of minoxidil taken during or after cancer treatment appear to regrow hair in most patients without causing any serious heart-related side effects that require additional therapies or hospitalization.
Patients can die if they take certain previously prescribed beta-blockers during a hematopoietic cell transplant due to suppressed signals from nerves that promote bone marrow regeneration, according to scientists at the Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern, published in Cancer Discovery, builds upon previous CRI research by analyzing retrospective patient data to correlate beta-blocker use with significantly worse patient outcomes.
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers identified a genetic mutation that slows the growth of melanoma and potentially other cancers by harnessing the power of the immune system.
According to researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, patients diagnosed with late-stage or metastatic breast cancer have a statistically significant increased risk of pre-diagnosis cardiovascular disease compared to those with early-stage cancer at diagnosis.
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that an enzyme called MICAL2 promotes tumor growth and spread in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas, the most common form of pancreatic cancer.
A team of researchers at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center led by Dhyan Chandra has discovered a new therapeutic target for neuroendocrine prostate cancer, a rare and hard-to-treat form of prostate cancer.
