Not all metastatic breast cancers behave similarly in the body. Each subtype of breast cancer has distinct characteristics, which make them more likely to behave in ...

Panelists discuss how testing for specific changes in cancer cells, like ESR1 mutations, can help guide treatment choices for patients with hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. ESR1 ...

Metastases, i.e. the secondary growths of cancer cells, are a key problem in many types of cancer. As descendants of the primary tumour, they can grow in other organs distant from the primary site and ...

Stage 4 cancer is the most advanced form of the disease, marked by its spread to distant parts of the body. While it’s often not curable, outcomes vary widely based on cancer type, spread, and ...

While receiving a metastatic cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, it is important to keep in mind that not all cancers are ...

Understanding which cells within a tumor will go on to form metastases remains one of the major challenges in cancer research. A study led by the Cell Plasticity in Development and Disease laboratory, ...

In honour of his groundbreaking insights into the movement of tumour cells, Professor Dr. Jochen Guck from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen has received the 2024 ...

A study by researchers at the University of California San Diego could make it easier to treat breast cancer by uncovering a new way the body helps prevent its spread. The scientists discovered a new ...

Success in cancer care increasingly includes survivorship outcomes, emphasizing durable function and symptom control for patients cured and those with prolonged metastatic disease. Variable survival ...

Cancer specialists have long known that anemia, caused by a lack of healthy red blood cells, can arise when cancer metastasizes to the bone, but it’s been unclear why. A research team led by Princeton ...
