GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Most biopsies following mammograms reveal benign abnormalities, not cancer.

New Notre Dame study provides insights into the molecular basis of tumor cell behavior

A new study by a team of researchers led by Crislyn D'Souza-Schorey, associate professor of biological sciences at the University of Notre Dame, sheds light on the molecular basis by which tumor c

Blood vessels might predict prostate cancer behavior

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A diagnosis of prostate cancer raises the question for patients and their physicians as to how the tumor will behave.

Experimental agent reduces breast cancer metastasis to bone

Researchers have reduced breast cancer metastasis to bone using an experimental agent to inhibit ROCK, a protein that was found to be over-expressed in metastatic breast cancer.

Study reveals a 'missing link' in immune response to disease

BOSTON--The immune system's T cells have the unique responsibilities of being both jury and executioner.

UT Southwestern researchers use drug-radiation combo to eradicate lung cancer

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have eliminated non-small cell lung (NSCL) cancer in mice by using an investigative drug called BEZ235 in combination with low-dose radiation.

Alcohol consumption has long been linked to cancer and its spread, but the underlying mechanism has never been clear.

Chemosensitivity of cancer cells depends on their protein dependency

Two different anti-apoptotic proteins support cancer cell survival via an identical mechanism, yet differ in their sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs, report Brunelle et al.
