Scientists have worked out how a protective element of our DNA helps prevent an abnormal genetic event that can lead to cells becoming cancerous. They have shown exactly how telomeres – the protective ...

The overuse of CT scans could cause over 100,000 cases of cancer in the US – with almost 10,000 cases in children, researchers have warned. According to a new modelling study, published in the journal ...

The Institute of Cancer Research, London, strongly welcomes the decision by NICE to recommend the targeted breast cancer drug, capivasertib, in combination with fulvestrant, for treating the most ...

A spit test, where a sample can be collected at home, is more accurate at identifying future risk of prostate cancer for some men than the current standard PSA blood test, a new study reports. Results ...

Scientists have developed a revolutionary AI ‘fingerprint’ technology that can accurately show how cancer cells respond to new drugs, by simply observing changes to their shape. The new technology, ...

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence-based model that can help pathologists grade certain lung cancer tumours and predict patients’ outcomes. It does this by assessing the growth ...

Scientists have shown for the first time that some of the most persistent cancer cells in glioblastoma, a common type of adult brain tumour, rely on a specific enzyme for survival and that inhibiting ...

In the largest and most comprehensive study of its kind, researchers have provided further evidence that a hormone responsible for regulating breast development acts as a risk factor for breast cancer ...

Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, have found a way to identify people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are at the highest risk of developing bowel cancer. IBD includes ...

Genetic testing to identify women with Lynch Syndrome is likely to need to increase dramatically to ensure that carriers are not missed, a new analysis has found. A study by The Institute of Cancer ...
