Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells ...

Cancer metastasis—the spread of cancer to other organs—is the leading cause of death among cancer patients. Researchers have now uncovered a "genetic signature" of 177 genes shared across multiple ...

Researchers found in mice that multiple nutrients and cancer cell characteristics work together to control the spread of ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

Deaths from cancer have fallen dramatically. They’ve dropped by 34% over the past three decades — largely thanks to better treatments, earlier detection, and fewer people smoking. But cancer ...

A new study leveraged data from the MSK-IMPACT tumor sequencing test to learn about the genetic complexity of cancer metastasis. When cancer spreads from a primary tumor to new sites throughout the ...

Pinned between the stomach and spine, the pancreas supervises both digestion and blood sugar in the body. It's also the site of an aggressive cancer called pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, or PDAC.

“The association between fat accumulation, cancer aggressiveness and poor patient outcomes has been identified for decades in breast and other cancers,” Andolino said. “But how those fats accumulate ...

Cancer specialists have long known that anemia, caused by a lack of healthy red blood cells, can arise when cancer metastasizes to the bone, but it’s been unclear why. A research team led by Princeton ...

What Is Metastatic Throat Cancer? It’s cancer that starts in your throat and spreads to other parts of your body. Your doctor may call it stage IV or advanced throat cancer. Most throat cancers are ...

New Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center research reveals how dormant metastatic cancer cells protect themselves from the ...
