Building a ready-made cancer data library
Researchers built a cancer database combining 4 types of molecular data across 32 cancer types to enable consistent use of machine learning…
Category: What is the status of cancer research?
What cancers are being studied, what we know about them, and what are the latest findings?
A complete DNA map to better detect cancer-causing changes
Researchers used a complete map of the human genome to detect large DNA changes associated with cancer. Their approach takes more time than…
Explaining breast cancer predictions from machine learning
Researchers applied statistical analyses to identify how machine learning models make breast cancer predictions. They argued that the more…
Finding cancer cells in a cocktail of complex tissues
Scientists used technology similar to ChatGPT to develop a tool that can differentiate between the DNA of cancer cells and healthy cells in…
Bacteria join forces with viruses to fight cancer
Researchers infected bacteria with cancer-fighting viruses to help treat cancer. Their new treatment was 100% successful in shrinking tumors…
A better way to detect canine cancer
Scientists developed new genetic protocols to detect different types of cancer in dogs from veterinary clinics.
Toward personalized cancer treatments
Medical researchers developed a computational analysis technique, called VIPER, that can predict how cancer cells respond to drug…
Cancer cells exploit an immune protein to evade treatment
Scientists tested several immunotherapy-resistant tumors and found that an evolutionary change in an immune protein makes humans more…
A blind spot in male cancer screening
Researchers found a type of cancer that is common in females, called BRCA-induced cancers, in male cancer patients.
Scientists use modified DNA to classify breast cancer
Researchers used DNA tags to divide an aggressive form of breast cancer into 2 major subtypes. They found these subtypes respond differently…
