Bioengineers at the University of Texas (UT) at Austin have developed a portable, miniature microscope designed to improve the ability to detect early-stage oral cancer and improve surgical margin ...

Understanding how tumors change their metabolism to resist treatments is a growing focus in cancer research. As cancer cells adapt to therapies, their metabolism often shifts, which can help them ...

The modern microscope is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to detecting disease, but typically the biological material being studied needs to be stained or dyed to reveal its secrets. This can ...

By moving around, some cancer cells force attacking immune cells to just nibble at the edges rather than engulf them ...

Chemotherapy is a powerful weapon against cancer, but certain cells resist treatment by entering a dormant stage called senescence. These therapy-induced senescent (TIS) cells may become resistant to ...

SPOP is the most mutated protein in prostate cancer and plays a role in endometrial, uterine and other cancers. Despite this importance, how SPOP mutations drive cancer has been incompletely ...

Two-photon microscopy is effective in visualizing the spread of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, according to a study in the Journal of Visualized Experiments (July 25, 2011). Orthotopic mouse ...

Researchers have created a tool that maps how breast cancer grows in previously unseen detail, and highlights how the cells around the tumor may be the key to controlling the spread of disease. New ...

This prospective study on reflectance confocal microscopy, a high-resolution and noninvasive form of imaging for skin cancer, investigated if the diagnostic method could improve accuracy results by 30 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . New technology that identifies which populations of breast cancer cells are likely to drive invasion and ...

Even when cancer surgery goes well, it’s far from guaranteed that all the cancer has been removed. The excised tumor is sent to a pathology lab, which analyzes it under a microscope to estimate how ...

Stage 3 prostate cancer is locally advanced, with tumors extending beyond the prostate but not metastasizing distantly. Diagnosis involves the TNM system, Gleason score, PSA tests, and imaging to ...
