A large-scale retrospective analysis by researchers with the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine suggests that differences in care, rather than genetics, likely explain disparities in advanced prostate cancer between men of African and European ancestry.
Researchers with the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and collaborators have shown that immature natural killer cells are present in patients with triple-negative breast cancer and likely promote, instead of inhibit, disease progression in this cancer type.
Investigators at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine found that treatment outcomes for patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma, a rare cancer commonly known as mesothelioma, are often affected by social determinants of health and that overall survival rates could be improved by addressing these health disparities and improving access to specialized care.
Researchers have shown for the first time exactly how immature neutrophils—white blood cells that are an important part of the immune system—are hijacked by pancreatic cancers to drive immunosuppression and treatment resistance. The study, led by investigators at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, was published in Cancer Discovery.
