Introducing errors in short-lived RNA causes tumors to present antigens on their cell surface, stimulating an immune response.

Researchers analyzed how a combination of cancer treatments and inherited mutations in DNA-repair genes predicted new cancers.

“A customized blood biopsy test has the sensitivity needed to predict which patients are at risk of cancer recurrence.”

Researchers also found that cancer cells may carry dozens or hundreds of copies of the same ring.

In a study, the test proved able to detect and localize more than 20 types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy.

Imagine, taking a simple blood draw to find out if you have cancer, and if so, the cancer’s location and molecular type.

Transforming the more common type A blood into type O could build up blood supplies and reduce shortages around the globe.

They want to find out why the large, long-lived creatures seem to be genetically protected against many cancers.

National Institutes of Health scientists use epigenetics to help predict disease development.

The massive marine animal’s super healing powers hold promise, say researchers.

The technology, which tracks DNA, is promising but “very proof of principle at this point.”

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

Compounds released during vaping could boost cancer risk.

But scientists continue to overlook Africans in genome research.

The animals have 100 times as many cells as humans but rarely get cancer. New gene studies may help explain why.
