Breast cancer researcher and oncologist Nancy Davidson discusses what we’ve learned from the first wave of epigenetic trials for breast cancer, and what challenges lie ahead before such therapies reach the clinic.

Researchers found that allegedly noncoding genetic material carries the instructions for many peptides that may help harness the immune system to fight cancer.

The former head of cancer medicine at MD Anderson Cancer Center helped change clinical practice for laryngeal cancer and helped establish chemoprevention.

The deal between the two biopharmaceutical giants will boost the purchaser’s cancer drug portfolio.

The purchase aims to build GSK’s oncology pipeline.

Combining data from the genetic testing techniques can guide patient care, scientists say.

Drugs approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis block cytokines, the molecules responsible for severe side effects from the immunotherapy, and reduce symptoms in mice.

The immunotherapy eliminated a woman’s metastatic lesions and kept her disease-free for two years.

Women with metastatic cancer who were treated with a checkpoint inhibitor had a smaller benefit than did men.
