The latest news and breakthrough developments from the field of cancer research. We bring you the latest updates from organisations looking into diagnosing and treating all types of cancers using the latest scientific advancements and what is being done to improve patient care.
Milena Angelova, EESC member and Rapporteur for the EESC opinion on Vaccine-preventable cancers, highlights the vital role of civil society in eradicating them.
Researchers have unveiled a pioneering method that could revolutionise the early detection of pancreatic cancer, a disease known for its late diagnosis and low survival rates.
A new study led by researchers at University College London (UCL) suggests that routine blood tests could significantly enhance early cancer diagnosis for individuals experiencing stomach pain or bloating.
New research highlights a crucial consideration for men battling prostate cancer, a potentially heightened risk of heart disease when certain medications are combined.
Hailey Coverson, Data Scientist at Bayezian, discusses the complexities of genomic data, accounting for biases and inaccuracies and AI’s potential in supporting clinical decisions in breast cancer care.
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame have a development in cancer therapy: a miniature, wireless LED device that can be implanted directly into deep-seated tumours.
Dr Mark Verrill, Consultant Medical Oncologist at the Northern Centre for Cancer Care, discusses the importance of personalised breast cancer treatment.
Long waits for cancer care have become normal across the UK, with nearly half of all specialist cancer centres experiencing delays most weeks, according to the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR).
In a study, researchers from the University of Basel and the University Hospital Basel have uncovered a promising new approach to combat the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a common virus that affects 90% of the adult population.
In a significant advancement for breast cancer treatment, a new blood test has shown the ability to predict the recurrence of breast cancer up to three years before tumours become detectable through conventional scans.
The University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center has revealed that changing the dosing schedule for common cancer therapy could greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions without compromising the patient's outcomes.
63.8% of the UK population are currently overweight or obese. Obesity is a major cause of ill health. Being moderately obese takes around 3 years off your life, whereas severe obesity shortens it by at least 10 years.
