A clinical trial is launching to test the effectiveness of new tests that aim to detect genetic signatures of cancer in the blood.

"It's important to stress how advanced, inoperable and untreatable this particular tumor is," the Crowdfunder page notes.

Charlotte Coles, chief investigator of the Import Low study, said the trial had "transformed" how early breast cancer is treated. "By targeting the area around the tumour, rather than the whole breast, we have demonstrated that patients can achieve the same outstanding long-term outcomes with fewer complications," Prof Coles said.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's staff reviewers on Tuesday raised safety concerns that GSK's blood cancer drug Blenrep, when used in combination with other treatments, may cause eye damage in patients.

It's okay to be nervous or sad, you just need to be brave," said Brielle Bird. "The way I’m brave is I try to make myself laugh sometimes.”

A group of campaigners, including some from Surrey and Sussex, have met Health Secretary Wes Streeting in a call for more research into a form of breast cancer which "has no specific treatment". Lobular cancer is often missed because it begins in the milk-producing lobule glands and often does not form a lump.

The number of Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer’s each year is expected to double by 2060, with the majority of cases affecting women.

A national pilot study designed to determine if blood tests can help detect cancers earlier is open for enrollment.Results of the Vanguard Study — which will include up to 24,000 people — also will provide insights into the feasibility of evaluating multicancer early detection (MCED) tests in larger randomized controlled trials.

As multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing gains momentum, experts are honing their focus on what comes next for patients with a positive MCED test result. Understanding the diagnostic pathways available after testing are an important aspect of minimizing harm,

The Epstein-Barr virus is one of the most common and persistent human viruses in the world, according to the CDC.

The Midwest had the highest rate of obesity-related cancer deaths at nearly 8 per million, while the Northeast had the lowest at under 6 per million, results show. Vermont, Minnesota and Oklahoma had the highest state-specific rates of obesity-related cancer deaths, while Utah, Alabama and Virginia had the lowest.

Jeff Ross says Norm Macdonald’s death from cancer shaped the way he approached things when he was also diagnosed with cancer. Ross, who’s known as the “Roastmaster General” for his scathing takedown of celebrities in roasts, talks about his cancer ...
