In a major leap toward more effective cancer treatments, researchers at the University of Oulu have developed an innovative pipeline designed to directly analyze drug responses in primary patient tumor samples.

Health New Zealand is continuing to bolster its specialist capacity for non-surgical cancer services in the southern districts.

Dr. Chani Traube, the Gerald M. Loughlin, MD Professor of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been awarded a $3.4 million grant, with the possibility of extending to a total of $17 million over five years, from the National Institutes of Health, for a large-scale clinical trial called Optimizing Pain Treatment in Children on Mechanical ventilation (OPTICOM).

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered a way that ovarian cancer tumors manipulate their environment to resist immunotherapy and identified a drug target that could overcome that resistance.

A new analysis led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has revealed detailed 3D maps of the internal structures of multiple tumor types. These cancer atlases reveal how different tumor cells -; and the cells of a tumor's surrounding environment -; are organized, in 3D, and how that organization changes when a tumor spreads to other organs.
