NK cells are “first responders” that rapidly detect and attack virus-infected cells and tumor cells, and can also help prevent metastasis.

“To make a significant impact in treating this kind of cancer, we need to find it earlier,” says medical oncologist Brian Wolphin, MD, MPH...

The findings lay the groundwork for tests that can identify whether the disease is likely to progress rapidly.

Tara Shuman says she feels lucky “to be able to reach out and connect with so many people going through cancer.”

Researchers say it would be ideal to have future clinical trials in which tissue-based biomarker studies dictate treatment options.

There is no concrete evidence that a ketogenic diet will benefit cancer patients and results from clinical trials have yet to be revealed.

The researchers say their discovery suggests potential new targeted therapeutic strategies for the disease.

The haploidentical transplant process has vastly expanded the pool of bone marrow or stem cell donors.

The new therapies include immune checkpoint inhibitors; therapeutic vaccines; CAR T-cell therapies; and “conjugate” drugs.

Sharon DeCosta and others are benefiting from advances in targeted therapy and clinical trials to test new approaches.

The findings also help explain why a class of targeted drugs appear not to be effective for this rare cancer in adolescents and young adults

There is nothing that motivates you quite like remembering the days you couldn’t shower independently or put your own socks on.

Research suggests compounds found in foods like green tea may inhibit angiogenesis, but they aren’t a substitute for prescribed therapies.

Rosette Becker created “About My Cancer,” a series of nine abstract works, before, during and after her lymphoma treatment

Nicotine is an addictive chemical found in tobacco; nicotine in e-cigarettes extracted from tobacco. But is it a carcinogen?

Edwin Alyea, MD, and Don Lewis, who received a stem cell transplant in 2014 to treat his acute myeloid leukemia, explain the procedure.
