Cancer cells possess a remarkable quality called plasticity. This means they can change their form. This ability helps them survive and spread. Cancer cells act like young cells. They can adapt to ...

A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated fibroblasts, can help lung cancer cells survive targeted drug therapy by ...

Can pollution cause it? What about inflammation? And how do tumors spread? Here’s what scientists are learning about this complex disease. By Nina Agrawal Every day, billions of cells in our body ...

How spreading tumour cells gain the ability to grow in organs away from where they originated is not fully understood. The discovery that normal liver cells help invading tumour cells to thrive in ...

Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which tumors evade drugs designed to starve and kill them, a study shows. Laboratory experiments with cancer cells reveal two ways in which ...

New study find that our natural killer cells -- from the immune system which protect against disease and infections -- instinctively recognize and attack a protein that drives cancer growth.

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...
