Researchers reported that daraxonrasib extended survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients whose disease had stopped responding to chemotherapy.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet report that microglia can build a fibronectin-rich scaffold that appears to help diffuse midline glioma cells invade nearby brain tissue.

Researchers report that a metabolite-linked pathway helps some ovarian tumors repair DNA damage and survive platinum chemotherapy, revealing a potential way to weaken treatment resistance.

Scientists at DKFZ and the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute say they have identified a key mechanism behind treatment failure in acute myeloid leukemia, pointing to new paths for tackling resistance.

Researchers at City of Hope and TGen report a significant correlation between a tumor’s splicing burden and clinical response to treatment in metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

A team led by South Korea’s Institute for Basic Science reports that a small molecule called UNI418 can reduce core DNA repair proteins in cancer cells, potentially reopening a treatment path for tumors that have grown

A new tumor-on-a-chip model is aimed at reproducing the dense tissue environment around pancreatic tumors, giving researchers a closer look at how cancer and scar tissue interact and why treatment resistance is so common

A STAT News report highlights mouse research suggesting the heart’s constant mechanical stress may help explain why cancers in the organ are rare.

Researchers studying exceptional responders to glioblastoma therapy identified a molecule called miR-181d that appears to both weaken tumors and help the immune system remember and attack them.

A study presented at a cancer research meeting associated wildfire smoke exposure with increased risk of several cancers, adding urgency to public health monitoring as severe fire seasons become more common.

Researchers at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute report a biological off switch in diffuse large B cell lymphoma, opening potential routes for diagnosis and treatment.

Researchers at Linköping University say they have shown how two important cancer-related proteins can be stopped from collaborating, opening a path toward future medicines for neuroblastoma.

At the AACR 2026 meeting, Revolution Medicines said new results for its KRAS-targeting pancreatic cancer pill were unusually strong, putting fresh attention on one of oncology’s most watched drug classes.

A Nature study from Washington University in St. Louis found that mRNA cancer vaccines can still trigger strong anti-tumor responses in mice even when a dendritic cell subtype long thought essential is missing.

A research team at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev says it has identified a protein that plays a central role in helping triple-negative breast cancer spread through the body.

Researchers say a newly identified long non-coding RNA appears to drive glioblastoma growth alongside EGFR amplification, opening a possible path to make EGFR-directed treatments work better.

A new systematic review and meta-analysis reports that occupational exposure to talc not contaminated with asbestos was not associated with increased risk across the respiratory cancers examined, adding an important dist

Six quantum computing teams are competing for a $5 million prize to prove that today's noisy quantum machines can solve real healthcare problems classical computers cannot — a competition that has already transformed how the field approaches hybrid quantum-classical computing.

A new mouse study finds that anthocyanin compounds in dark sweet cherries may slow the growth of triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and hardest-to-treat forms of the disease.

Tokyo researchers discovered that polyamines activate different proteins in healthy versus cancerous cells, explaining their paradoxical dual role in longevity and tumor growth.
