Just as bacteria, viruses and fungi develop strategies to outsmart antimicrobial medications, cancer cells can become resistant to chemotherapy. And among tumors, those associated with triple negative breast cancer and ovarian ...
Triple negative breast cancer is the most aggressive subtype of the disease and is notorious for a poor prognosis, but scientists are working on a breakthrough method of converting these treatment-resistant tumors into a ...
Researchers at the Department of Chemistry, Scripps Research, California, have discovered how to harness the toxic power of plankton to manufacture anti-cancer molecules.
The resistance to cancer treatment is often credited to the heterogenous cellular nature within a tumor. The tumor cell-cell interaction and cell-microenvironment have a key role in the invasion and progression of tumors ...
Breast cancer is resistant to immunotherapies; therefore, bioengineers and oncologists seek to develop a slew of therapeutic strategies to overcome this challenge. In a new report in Science Advances, Kerui Wu and colleagues ...
One of the most puzzling—and devastating—aspects of cancer is its potentially lethal wanderlust, the spread of the disease from a primary tumor to a new and distant site.
New research that is examining the "tumor microenvironment" reveals not only how macrophages can become extraordinary turncoats but also how they can actively support tumor growth and metastatic progression in certain forms ...
(Medical Xpress)—A team of researchers working at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the U.S. has found evidence that suggests administering chemotherapy to breast cancer patients prior to surgery can put them at ...
The spread of malignant cells around the body, known as metastasis, is the leading cause of mortality in women with breast cancer.
