Breast cancer cells, especially the aggressive triple-negative type, can change when they don't get enough oxygen. This is called hypoxia, and it's a big deal in the world of cancer research. Scientists have found that when these cells are starved of oxygen for a short time, a protein called Annexin
Lung nodules, small growths in the lungs, can be worrying. Doctors often use Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) to check if a nodule is dangerous. But, LDCT can sometimes cause unnecessary worry by giving false alarms. This leads to extra tests and stress for patients. Scientists are working on be
Breast cancer in younger women, those under 50, has been on the rise for years. This is a concerning trend, as it's happening at a time when we're supposed to be making progress in health.

Doctors have been fighting this type of cancer for a while, and they've made some good progress. But, there are still some tough cases, like when the c
The spread of serous ovarian cancer, or SOC, is a complex process. It involves the interaction between cancer cells and the surrounding tissue, or stroma. This stroma includes both the extracellular matrix (ECM) and various cellular components, like cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). These int
When it comes to colorectal cancer, the immune system is a big player. One type of immune cell, called naïve CD4 T cells, is especially important. These cells are like new recruits in the immune system's army, ready to fight off invaders. But their role in colorectal cancer is not as clear-cut as it
There's a new player in the fight against some of the most aggressive forms of uterine cancer. Uterine serous carcinoma and carcinosarcoma are known for being tough to treat and having poor survival rates. These cancers are types of endometrial cancer, which starts in the lining of the uterus. Docto
GI cancers, which include tumors in the stomach, intestines, and other parts of the digestive system, are a major cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Once these cancers reach an advanced stage, survival rates drop significantly. This is where immunotherapy comes into play. Immunotherapy has shown prom
Ever thought about how your sleep and eating habits might be connected to bladder cancer? It's a big deal. When these habits don't match up with our body's natural rhythms, it can lead to some serious health problems. This is especially true for people who already have cancer. Bladder cance
Public health experts often team up with faith communities to boost health outcomes. This review looks at how these experts have reached out to these communities. It uses a specific theory to judge these efforts. The review focuses on three big topics: vaccines, genetic health, and colorectal cance
