KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, has discovered how cancer cells can exploit healthy lung cells to support metastatic tumor growth in the lungs.

Cancer cells reprogram lung AT2 cells to produce lipids that support metastasis. These fats drive protein changes that ...

Cancer metastasis -- the spread of cancer to other organs -- is the leading cause of death among cancer patients. Researchers have now uncovered a 'genetic signature' of 177 genes shared across ...

Scientists have developed an AI system that analyzes complex gene-expression signatures to estimate the likelihood that a ...

Success in cancer care increasingly includes survivorship outcomes, emphasizing durable function and symptom control for patients cured and those with prolonged metastatic disease. Variable survival ...

Mel Schilling revealed her colon cancer has metastasized to her lungs and brain after two years of treatment, highlighting the dangers of stage 4 disease. Metastasis occurs when cancer spreads through ...

Cancer specialists have long known that anemia, caused by a lack of healthy red blood cells, can arise when cancer metastasizes to the bone, but it’s been unclear why. A research team led by Princeton ...
