Next-generation sequencing detects rare fusion genes in sarcoma tumours
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers have determined that RNA-based next generation sequencing picks up gene fusions in sarcoma tumours that traditional gene testing may not.
Read MoreMutation Frequencies in Endometrial Cancer Patients of Different Ethnicities and Tumor Grades: An Analytical Study
Endometrial carcinoma is a predominant health problem for women worldwide. However, there is a lack of data on genetic mutation frequencies in endometrial cancer patients of different ethnicities and tumor grades. The objective of this study is to provide data regarding mutation frequencies in endometrial cancer patients of different ethnic groups and tumor grades by analyzing large-scale cancer genomic datasets of a database.
Read MoreNew diagnostic method finds aggressive tumours
A discussion of a new genomic method, named CUTseq, which can assess the amount and type of CNAs in many different parts of the same tumour, at a much lower cost than existing technologies.

A discussion of the potential to repurpose cardiac glycosides, currently used to treat cardiac arrythmias and atrial fibrillation, to treat cancer.
Read MoreThermal ablation therapy for cancer using nanomaterials
Researchers from Nazarbayev University are studying the application of nanomaterials in thermal ablation therapy. The use of nanomaterials could pose an attractive solution to the issue of side-effects and harmful by-products associated with existing methods, such as the damage of non-cancerous surrounding cells when targeting tumours.
Read MoreProfessor John G Gribben explains why CART-cell therapy has the potential to revolutionise cancer treatment.
CAR T-cell (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell) therapy is a recent, exciting advancement as a form of immunotherapy, offering a new, […]
Read MoreMetabolic reprogramming of branched-chain amino acid facilitates drug resistance in lung cancer
Researchers have revealed the important role of epigenetic regulation-mediated metabolic reprogramming in lung cancer’s capacity to resist molecular targeted therapy.
Read MoreOvarian cancer cells stop moving when deprived of the protein Ran
Researchers have shown the key role that a protein called Ran plays in the mobility of ovarian cancer cells. They demonstrated these cells cannot migrate from cancerous sites without the help of Ran.
