Blood Test Predicts Prostate Cancer Treatment Response

Prostate cancer became a bigger killer than breast cancer for the first time, official statistics revealed last year. More than 11,800 men a year - or one every 45 minutes - are now killed by the disease in the UK, compared with about 11,400 women dying of breast cancer. More...

Tumor Mutation and Immune Microenvironment Revealed in Colorectal Cancer

Most colorectal cancers are due to old age and lifestyle factors, with only a small number of cases due to underlying genetic disorders. Other risk factors include diet, obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity. Dietary factors that increase the risk include red meat, processed meat, and alcohol. More...
