The ability of tumours to induce new blood-vessel formation has been a major focus of cancer research over the past few decades, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is now known to be ...

Manipulating the immune system to treat cancer has generated phenomenal responses in some patients, including complete cures, ...

compared and combined anti-Dll4 and anti-VEGF mAb treatments in a MV522 tumor model. Treatment of mice bearing MV522 tumors with either agent alone only modestly inhibited tumor growth ...

UCLA scientists have identified a potential new strategy for treating glioblastoma, the deadliest form of brain cancer, by ...

The liver breaks down dietary fructose into lipids that are used by cancer cells to boost their growth in mice. Sneha Khedkar is an Assistant Editor at The Scientist. She has a Master's degree in ...

Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

In randomized phase III trials two anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) approaches have yielded survival benefit in patients with metastatic cancer. In one approach, the addition of ...

Researchers have found that a cancer outside the brain makes electrical connections with the nervous system to fuel cancer growth and aid its spread.

Brain support cells called astrocytes have long been found around glioblastomas, leading scientists to think that the cells rally to help fight the tumors, but recent studies have found that the cells ...
