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.

Experiments in mice show that mitochondria, both within the tumor and beyond, can make the difference between promoting or inhibiting cancer spread.

Genetic analyses uncover cellular hallmarks of bladder cancer tumors that don’t respond, but interfering with one of those characteristics in a mouse model causes tumors to shrink.  

Motivated by his father’s cancer diagnosis, the Francis Crick Institute cancer geneticist has been revealing the ways tumors evolve and why they are so difficult to treat.

Glowing cells mark the routes of tumor spread by way of newly formed lymph vessels. 

In the latest findings from the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology, independent researchers achieve results that mirror those of two earlier papers.
