In a major step forward for cancer drug discovery, researchers have demonstrated how computational simulations can unravel the complex role of water molecules in drug ...

Scientists have uncovered a protein that acts like a ‘suit of armour’ for cancer cells, shielding them from hostile environments and allowing one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer to spread ...

Although cancer is not usually inherited, certain types, including breast and ovarian, can be triggered by inherited gene faults, meaning they can run in families. Now that we can test for these ...

A new type of cancer treatment which is given via an injection under the skin has shown early signs of success in patients with advanced head and neck cancer. Results of the phase Ib/II Orig-AMI 4 ...

Up to two in five advanced prostate cancer patients could be treated with a combination of two targeted drugs, according to new research. Findings by a team of scientists at The Institute of Cancer ...

Scientists have developed a new test that can decode when someone’s cancer first started growing and how fast it is growing, potentially allowing doctors to accurately predict when a patient will need ...

The Institute of Cancer Research, London, strongly welcomes the decision by NICE to recommend the targeted breast cancer drug, capivasertib, in combination with fulvestrant, for treating the most ...

A spit test, where a sample can be collected at home, is more accurate at identifying future risk of prostate cancer for some men than the current standard PSA blood test, a new study reports. Results ...

A collaborative study reveals an unexpected way cancer spreads through the body – by shedding tiny, previously unidentified fragments called shearosomes as tumour cells squeeze through narrow blood ...
