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…
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…
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…
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…
Researchers linked obesity with breast cancer
Scientists compared genetic data from tumors of breast cancer patients, and found patients with high body mass indexes had unique gene…
New immunotherapy combo shrinks lung cancer
Scientists recently combined two immunotherapy treatments to successfully reduce tumor size in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
New drug targets “sticky” protein in ovarian cancer
Scientists tested a new drug that stops a “sticky” protein from helping ovarian cancer cells spread to other parts of the body.
Cold-activated fat cells help slow tumor growth
Researchers found that brown fat activated by cold temperatures can slow the growth of cancerous tumors.
Battling ovarian cancer with light
Researchers engineered a virus to deliver light-sensitive chemicals to ovarian cancer cells and targeted them with a laser. Their new…
