ATLANTA, July 13, 2022 – A new report led by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) shows individuals without health insurance coverage were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage cancer and have worse survival rates after cancer diagnosis compared to individuals with private health insurance. The study also showed for six cancers … Read more
Chemotherapy is an incredible tool for annihilating cancer cells, but our regular cells end up in the crossfire, which can result in life-altering side effects. Chemotherapy or chemo for short is not always required for successful treatment either, but how to tell if someone requires it can be both an art and a science. Now, … Read more
BOSTON – Patients with multiple myeloma who have been treated with a three-drug combination therapy have a growing number of choices for subsequent treatment. Results of a new study led by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute can help patients and their physicians weigh benefits and risks of each option.

A study conducted under the Lung Cancer Master Protocol (Lung-MAP) found that patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer had progressed on previous immunotherapy lived significantly longer when treated with a combination of ramucirumab (Cyramza®) plus pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) than when treated with one of the current standard therapies for this type of cancer. … Read more
New research suggests that Darwinian evolution could be happening up to four times faster than previously thought, based on an analysis of genetic variation. The more genetic differences there are in a species, the faster evolution can happen, as certain traits die off and stronger ones get established. The team behind this latest study calls … Read more
CHICAGO: Delays in surgery for esophageal cancer did not appear to have much impact on patients’ relative survival for early-stage cancer compared with patients who had surgery early, but they did reduce the relative survival rate by almost half for patients with more advanced disease. , according to an analysis of the National Cancer Database … Read more
Safeguarding native tree diversity through improved conservation and restoration efforts is at a critical juncture in Southeast Asia as many tree species face threats from habitat loss, fire and climate change, among other human-caused threats. A new study used a spatially explicit framework to identify species-specific priority areas for conservation and restoration among rosewood species … Read more
Rats afflicted with liver cancer have demonstrated the efficacy of a fascinating, non-invasive treatment. Using focused ultrasound, scientists have managed to destroy up to 75 percent of the volume of a liver tumor. The treatment also seems to trigger the rats’ immune systems into taking over and clearing the rest. In 80 percent of the … Read more
