How surviving cancer as a child affects lifelong health

People who survive cancer early in their life have higher risks of ill health as they grow older, and these risks vary according to the cancer type and how the cancer was treated, a new study by researchers at University ...

New method used to study how cancer cells are organised

Changes in individual cancer cells over time may explain why brain tumors develop so differently, and why some cancer cells are resistant to certain treatments. To track the development of cancer cells, researchers at Uppsala ...
