Researchers successfully tested a simple intervention that could unlock greater anti-tumor power in therapies that use T cells -- an approach known as 'cell-based therapy,' which uses specially designed T cells to fight cancer. The team has proven ...
Researchers have been working to better understand what drives melanoma brain metastasis. They now report on the identification of a cell signaling pathway that regulates the metastatic spread of ...
Cancer stem cells cause the aging of macrophages in mice with healthy immune systems, creating conditions for the formation of ...

Scientists have identified potential new biomarkers that could indicate how someone diagnosed with metastatic melanoma will respond to immunotherapy ...

White blood cells called neutrophils have an unappreciated role in eradicating solid tumors, according to a surprise ...

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key factors in the tumor microenvironment, which have been implicated in cancer cell progression. It has also been reported that vesicles called exosomes ...

Cancer immunotherapy involves using activated T cells to destroy tumors, but it doesn't work for all patients. Researchers have discovered that a kind of dendritic cell is crucial for ...

Researchers have identified a relatively natural way to increase the numbers and antitumor activities of TILs. A team demonstrates how L-fucose, a nontoxic dietary plant sugar that is enriched in red ...

New research has identified a protein that makes melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer, more aggressive by giving cancer cells the ability to change the shape of their nucleus -- a ...

Fewer cases of melanoma were observed among regular users of vitamin D supplements than among non-users, a new study finds. People taking vitamin D supplements regularly also had a considerably lower ...

Researchers have used artificial DNA to target and kill cancer cells in a completely new way. The method was effective in lab tests against human cervical cancer- and breast cancer-derived cells, and ...

A new study examined the combination of the common immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a chemotherapy drug that targets myeloid-derived suppressor cells. ...

A patient's own immune cells, multiplied into an army of billions of immune cells in a lab, can be used as a living medicine against metastatic melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer, as ...

Researchers have identified a new method for scheduling radiation therapy that could be as much as 22 percent more effective at killing cancer cells than current standard radiation treatment ...

Researchers have developed and validated a machine learning--based method to predict which patients with early-stage melanoma are most likely to experience a cancer ...

A new way of reprogramming our immune cells to shrink or kill off cancer cells has been shown to work in the otherwise hard to treat and devastating skin cancer, melanoma. The discovery demonstrates ...

A clinical trial showed a remarkable 20 percent advantage in the two-year overall survival rate for people with advanced melanoma who first received immunotherapy (72 percent survival rate) versus ...

The advent of small-molecule targeted therapies, a decade ago, revolutionized the treatment of metastatic melanoma, provided that the tumors carry the mutations to respond to these treatments. ...

Scientists have shown how tumor cells evade immunotherapy by generating unique, temporary cell-in-cell structures, where the inner cells remain in tact and can return to single tumor ...

Researchers have deciphered a mechanism that enables skin cancer to metastasize to the brain and managed to delay the spread of the disease by 60% to 80% using existing ...

Currently, the only FDA approved biomarker for ICI melanoma treatment is the tumor mutation burden assay, but the mechanisms linking it to ICI remain unclear. However, new research now provides ...

Over the last decade, immune checkpoint blockers, or ICBs, have revolutionized treatment for various advanced cancers, including melanoma, the most aggressive skin cancer that was considered largely ...

Researchers have shown that inhibiting a key metabolic enzyme selectively kills melanoma cells and stops tumor growth. The findings could lead to a new class of drugs to selectively treat melanoma, ...
