Cancer begins when cells in the body grow and spread uncontrollably, forming a tumor. How does cancer start in the body? Our ...

A McGill University-led research collaboration has achieved a breakthrough in understanding how cancer spreads. A clinical ...

Ferroptosis diagram. Iron is internalized in the cell via the protein CD44 present on its surface, allowing it to acquire metastatic properties and tolerance to standard treatments through epigenetic ...

In a preclinical study, Cedars-Sinai investigators have demonstrated how age-related changes to cells surrounding a tumor ...

A team of researchers in Japan has pinpointed how cancer cells spread throughout the body, a finding that could lead to the development of a new treatment medicine. The scientists, primarily ...

To form a new colony, a tumor cell needs to leave the vessel system and invade tissue. The cell must attach itself to a vessel's wall. Once this is done, it can work its way through the vessel and ...

Metastatic cancer remains one of oncology’s most stubborn problems. MetasTx is developing a first-in-class small-molecule therapy against a unique target that inhibits cancer’s ability to ...

Brain metastases from prostate cancer (PC) seem to be more frequent than in the past, possibly because advances in the treatment of patients with castration-resistant PC have prolonged their survival.

The research identified enolase 2 (ENO2), a crucial glycolytic enzyme, as a significant factor associated with lymphatic metastasis in HNSCC. HNSCC is an aggressive cancer with a relatively low 5 ...

and a greater probability for the cancer to spread to other organs – metastasize –. But the causes of this association are still not well understood. Researchers at the Spanish National Cancer ...

Their findings, published in Cell Reports, could help researchers better understand diverse phenomena such as cancer metastasis and cell differentiation. "Our lab has a longstanding interest in ...
