Researchers have discovered that throat cancers linked to the human papillomavirus (HPV) respond better to cancer treatments than cancers not associated with HPV, a finding that's being lauded as a promising step toward tailored treatment.

(University of Florida) By monitoring gene activity levels and changes in chromatin -- the protein spools that the genes wrap around -- University of Florida researchers were able to detect epigenetic factors that make fruit fly cells resistant to radiation.

The discovery suggests that tumor cells may have similar protection from radiotherapy or chemotherapy, an insight that may lead to more effective cancer treatments.

Researchers at the Duke School of Medicine apparently have solved the riddle of why cancer cells like sugar so much, and it may be a mechanism that could lead to better cancer treatments.

A drug which may protect the body against radiation, such as that in cancer treatments, is developed by US scientists.

Researchers from penn colleagues discovered that the Notch signaling pathway, which determines the development of many cell types, and is also implicated in some cancers, is not universally essential for the maintenance of stem cells.

This indicates that inhibitors of Notch may not affect bone marrow stem cells.

A study shows an antioxidant found in red wine destroys cancer cells from the inside and enhances the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy cancer treatments.

A new study shows that clinical trials help lead to breakthroughs and sustainable, successful cancer treatments.
