Although there are many cancer treatments available today that effectively eliminate abnormal cells, these therapies may also damage healthy cells, leading to unwanted side effects.

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed three mathematical biomarkers that may help physicians personalize adaptive therapy for prostate cancer by predicting treatment outcomes early in treatment. The biomarkers are specialized mathematical measures calculated from ro

What if one of the keys to a healthier metabolism is understanding how and when the liver communicates with the rest of the body?

Leucovorin prescriptions for children spiked after federal officials claimed the drug was an effective treatment for autism during a September 2025 press conference, according to a new Michigan Medicine-led study published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

A tumor is more than its cancer cells. Immune cells, blood vessels and other surrounding tissue influence how a cancer grows and responds to treatment. Two tumors containing the same cell types can respond very differently to the same therapy depending on how those cells are arra

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown metabolic weakness in the stem cells that drive high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a discovery that could lead to more targeted treatments for this aggressive blood cance
