The latest cancer news for cancer research. Inform yourselves about the newest technologies, best practices and studies in the field of cancer diseases and tumors.

• AI can detect COVID-19 in the lungs like a virtual physician, new study shows September 30, 2020
  New research shows that artificial intelligence can be nearly as accurate as a physician in diagnosing COVID-19 in the lungs. The study also shows the new technique can also overcome some of the challenges of current testing.
• Cancer cells use nerve-cell tricks to spread from one organ to the next September 30, 2020
  New research suggests that breast and lung tumors metastasize by hijacking a neural signaling pathway, potentially opening the door to better diagnostics and treatments.
• Strong activation of anti-bacterial T cells linked to severe COVID-19 September 28, 2020
  A type of anti-bacterial T cells, so-called MAIT cells, are strongly activated in people with moderate to severe COVID-19 disease, according to a new study.
• Genetic testing cost effective for newly diagnosed GIST September 28, 2020
  Researchers reported that genetic testing is cost-effective and beneficial for newly diagnosed patients with metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a rare type of cancer.
• Memory training for the immune system September 28, 2020
  The immune system will memorize the pathogen after an infection and can therefore react promptly after reinfection with the same pathogen. Now, scientists have deciphered new details of this process.
• Cancer's hidden vulnerabilities September 28, 2020
  To fight cancer more effectively, a researcher probes its inner workings for metabolic weaknesses.
• New vulnerability found in lung squamous cancer may facilitate drug targeting September 25, 2020
  New cancer research shows the potential for targeting a specific circular RNA, known as CDR1as, to attack lung squamous cell cancer.
