A new type of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) appears to be safe in metastatic neuroendocrine tumor patients who have exhausted conventional treatment options.
Once breast cancer begins to metastasise, it generally becomes harder to treat and survival rates are lower. Now, researchers present a new, targeted treatment approach using SBRT radiotherapy.
Due to its rapid spread in the abdomen, ovarian cancer is often only detected at an advanced stage. Now, scientists have discovered how this cancer takes advantage of other cells for metastasis.
Why do some tumours spread while others remain localised? Using colon cancer cells, scientists pinpointed the criteria that influence metastasis risk, and identified a way to assess its probability.
Chemotherapy does more than kill cancer cells: It reshapes the gut microbiome, making the body less permissive to metastasis. This finding opens new avenues for adjuvant strategies.
A novel AI-based method can distinguish between progressive brain tumours and radiotherapy-induced necrosis on advanced MRI. This could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.
Most patients with metastatic colorectal cancer do not respond to immunotherapy—but why? A new study shows how the tumours block the immune system through two complementary mechanisms.
In metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), targeting residual disease through surgery can extend the benefits of EGFR TKI therapy beyond standard monotherapy, a new study finds.
A new study shows that a gene expression test on routinely collected prostate tissue can help guide therapy choices for prostate cancer patients whose cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
Tracer molecules serve to provide visual guidance in nuclear medicine, but a new molecule could give surgeons additional audio cues to help them locate prostate cancer tumors and metastases.
Researchers report they have built a new non-toxic and non-radioactive handheld device that uses the unique properties of diamonds to diagnose metastasized breast cancer.
Common respiratory infections such as influenza and Covid-19 can awaken dormant breast cancer cells that have spread to the lungs, setting the stage for new metastatic tumors, new research finds.
How cancer cells survive the journey through the body to form metastases is still poorly understood. New insights into how cells survive intense physical stress could pave the way for new treatments.
In a new study, researchers have developed a new fluorescent probe to visualise signaling dynamics in moving cancer cells, to uncover a new therapeutic possibility for limiting breast cancer spread.
The location and timing of breast cancer recurrence may allow AI to predict the risk of metastasis, a new study shows. This is an essential step towards developing personalised treatment strategies.
Late-stage breast cancer patients are more often affected by brain metastases than previously believed, a new study finds. The researchers suggest that MRI screening guidelines should reflect this.
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model to detect the spread of metastatic brain cancer using MRI scans, offering insights into patients’ cancer without aggressive surgery.
More than half of cancer patients in whom the cancer spreads beyond the primary site have lung metastases. What makes the lungs such a tempting place for cancer cells? New research may have an answer.
A new study shows how inherent variations in a cancer cell and its interactions with its surroundings mould its migration. The findings provide valuable insights into the processes behind metastasis.
