Researchers with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute are investigating how dietary interventions could help reduce fatigue, improve diet quality and help cancer patients live an overall better quality of life.
Inhibiting a particular protein in cancer-killing immune cells might improve the long-term effectiveness of CAR T cell and other immune checkpoint therapies, according to a study by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
A study by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute suggests a way to re-energize critical killer immune cells that have become exhausted when fighting cancer or chronic viral infections.
A multicenter analysis of patients with invasive lobular carcinoma—the second most common histological subtype of invasive breast cancer in the U.S.—showed that, despite its prevalence, ILC is detected later and has worse outcomes than the predominant subtype of invasive breast cancer, known as invasive ductal carcinoma, or no special type.
The Association of Community Cancer Centers named the winning programs for its 12th annual ACCC Innovator Awards, highlighting the year’s solutions to improving cancer care delivery and the patient experience. The five ACCC Innovator Award winners feature programs in areas such as remote patient monitoring, improving oral oncolytic compliance, and addressing social determinants of health.

Researchers with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute found that vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A)—a potent cytokine—can increase expression of dopamine D2 receptors on endothelial cells.
An outreach program at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC–James) is mailing free at-home colon cancer screening tests to Black primary care patients who have not yet had their routine colonoscopy.
Researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) conducted an extensive review of both peer-reviewed research studies and governmental public health data, looking at the so-called “intersectionality” of factors influencing health disparities to determine that sexual and racial minority status influences cancer screening behaviors and cancer risk.
