A telehealth-based smoking cessation program significantly improved quit rates among patients with cancer treated at community practices. A randomized trial showed patients who received the virtual intervention, which also included no-cost medication, achieved double the abstinence rate at 6 months compared with those…
American Cancer Society researchers highlight the need to increase access to affordable care to help improve cancer outcomes
Flight attendants and pilots have higher risks for radiation-related cancer deaths than individuals with other occupations, according to results of a cross-sectional study. The findings — based on analysis of nearly 13 million deaths among people who held more than 500 unique professions — support consideration of…
Two-thirds of a group of adults with intermediate-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma had excellent response to treatment with surgery alone and no radioactive iodine therapy, according to findings published in Clinical Endocrinology. In a single-center retrospective cohort study, researchers assessed outcomes among…
Women who used estrogen-only hormone therapy later in life were less likely to develop dementia and showed fewer signs of Alzheimer’s disease in their brains, according to a large study of more than 21,000 participants. Hormone therapy use was linked to 39% lower odds of a dementia diagnosis and 35% lower odds of…
A large study of more than 5,500 adults over 50 found a striking combination of risk factors: abdominal obesity paired with vitamin D deficiency was linked to a 123% higher risk of death over six years. Each condition was associated with increased risk on its own, but together they appeared to create a dangerous…
Researchers have found a striking new way to potentially eliminate HIV soon after infection using a one-time combination of three therapies. In newborn nonhuman primates treated within three days of exposure, the regimen—standard antiretroviral drugs, broadly neutralizing antibodies, and the experimental antibody…
New investment will support the next generation of cancer research leaders while building on seven years of transformative partnership
UCLA researchers have created a blood test that can scan DNA signals for multiple cancers, liver diseases, and signs of organ damage—and even indicate where trouble may be developing. Early results suggest the inexpensive approach could bring medicine closer to a single blood test capable of catching a wide range of…
Linus Pauling was widely mocked for claiming that vitamin C could fight cancer, especially after trials using vitamin C pills showed no benefit. Researchers now know that intravenous vitamin C reaches vastly higher concentrations and can behave more like an experimental cancer drug than an ordinary supplement. Early…
Cancer cells rely on powerful genetic switches to keep growth genes running at full speed, but that intense activity can damage their own DNA. The resulting breaks are repeatedly repaired, sometimes with small mistakes that allow new mutations to accumulate. Researchers believe this self-inflicted damage may help…
The American Cancer Society study provides key financial data that helps underscore the value of cancer prevention and early detection
A controlled mouse study has provided direct evidence that inherited genetics can steer how cancer begins and evolves after DNA damage. The discovery could eventually help doctors better predict cancer risk and tailor screening and treatments to each patient.
American Cancer Society researchers suggest integrating palliative care earlier and more consistently into routine oncology care is needed
Scientists uncovered how influenza A commandeers human cells, including a surprising strategy that dissolves tiny structures in the nucleus and releases proteins the virus may use to reproduce. The detailed molecular map could reveal new drug targets and help researchers study dangerous flu strains such as H5N1.
