Scientists have uncovered an unexpected reason why some cancers return after initially responding to treatment.

Among the most promising tools of cancer therapy, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells ...

A protein made by stressed cancer cells helps lung and pancreatic tumors evade the immune system, a new study shows.

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Northwestern researchers have shown that when it comes to cancer vaccines, arrangement can be just as important as ingredients. By repositioning a small fragment of an HPV protein on a DNA-based ...

Scientists at UCLA have developed an "off-the-shelf" cell-based immunotherapy that was able to track down and kill pancreatic cancer cells even after they had spread to other organs. In a mouse study, ...

A feature of pancreatic cancer cells' surroundings determines whether they grow fast or become resistant to chemotherapy, a ...

Professor Chad Mirkin found that the vaccine’s carefully organized structure dramatically boosts cancer-fighting immunity.

Although many patients with cancer initially respond to targeted therapy, recurrence remains a common challenge. This recurrence is increasingly attributed to the presence of a rare subset of cells, ...

Working with a line of colon cancer cells, Korean researchers figured out a way to throw a few genetic switches to cause the cells to revert back to a healthy state. The technique could have major ...

Liposuction and plastic surgery aren’t often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors ...
