Researchers have developed a novel prompt, or 'nudge,' embedded in the electronic health record that flags, for treating surgeons, older patients with early-stage breast cancer who may be at risk for unnecessary lymph node surgery.
A medication used to treat diabetic neuropathy may make chemotherapy treatments more effective for patients with lung cancer, according to new findings from the University of Missouri School of Medicine published in Clinical Cancer…
Current screening protocols fail to catch a notable number of people carrying genetic mutations associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome and Lynch syndrome, which increase the risk of developing certain cancers. This…
(MedPage Today) -- A "nudge" intervention in an electronic health record (EHR) significantly reduced rates of low-value axillary surgery in older women with early-stage, clinically node-negative breast cancer, according to results from a…
A new study led by Brighton and Sussex Medical School researchers has developed a groundbreaking way to predict how well treatments work for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a common blood cancer. They created personalized…
A distinct signaling pathway called TNF- drives the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells. During cancer progression, cells activate their own TNF- program and become invasive. This finding could help to improve…
A research team led by the University of Minnesota Medical School demonstrated that the socioeconomic status (SES) of cell donors affects the health outcomes of blood cancer patients who underwent hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center researchers have developed a novel prompt, or 'nudge' embedded in the electronic health record that flags, for treating surgeons, older patients with early-stage breast cancer who may…
A University of California, Irvine research team has developed and implemented an intervention to enhance cancer care support services for racial and ethnic minority patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Newly published research in The Lancet Oncology lays the foundation for many patients with head and neck cancers to be treated with tailored therapies that are less invasive and to avoid major, potentially debilitating surgeries.
