A very large team of researchers affiliated with institutions across China (and several from Washington University School of Medicine in the U.S.) has found recurrent alterations in prostate cancer in Chinese patients that ...
In order to colonize other organs and grow into metastases, tumor cells that detach from the parent tumor need to manipulate their new microenvironment and create a 'metastatic niche.' Scientists from the German Cancer Research ...

A team of researchers from a host of institutions in Singapore and China has found that there are genetic differences between some lung cancer tumors in East Asians versus Europeans. In their paper published in the journal ...
A merger of math and medicine may help to improve the efficacy of immunotherapies, potentially life-saving treatments that enhance the ability of the patient's own immune system to attack cancerous tumors.
