It linked 2.3 million new cancer cases to an infection. Most were caused by just five pathogens: Helicobacter pylori (4%), human papillomavirus, or HPV (4%), hepatitis B (2%), Epstein-Barr virus (1%) and hepatitis C (under 1%). These infections can cause more than 20 different types of cancer, including stomach, liver, blood and cervical cancers.

Pancreatic cancer has stymied treatment advances for decades. Data from new clinical trials shows promise.

It 's a good side effect for cancer immunotherapy patients.

A gene therapy that patients breathe in has been found to shrink lung tumour by inserting immune-boosting genes into surrounding cells

By activating an immune signaling pathway inside cancer cells, MIT researchers found a way to force tumors to produce a molecule that leads to their own destruction.

In this 1-hour presentation, Dr. Abi.Vijenthira, hematologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, provided an overview of the approach to non-Hodg...

Tumour growth is reduced by exercise due to a shift in the body’s metabolism that means muscle cells outcompete cancer cells in the race to get sugar to grow

New studies show that bacteria help cancer cells evade the body’s immune response. Experts say this relationship could prove vital for wiping out cancer.

Our results suggest that a deep learning model can estimate biological age from face photographs and thereby enhance survival prediction in patients with cancer. Further research, including validation in larger cohorts, is needed to verify these findings in patients with cancer and to establish whether the findings extend to patients with other diseases. Subject to further testing and validation, approaches such as FaceAge could be used to translate a patient’s visual appearance into objective, quantitative, and clinically valuable measures.

Scientists found linoleic acid from seed oils promotes triple-negative breast cancer growth by activating a specific protein pathway. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid found in seed oils like soybean and safflower oil, as well as in animal products such as pork and eggs, has been shown to pro

Researchers have developed an AI tool called FaceAge that uses facial photos to estimate biological age and predict survival outcomes in cancer patients.
