Non-invasive imaging technique can accurately detect clear-cell renal cell carcinoma

A new study led by investigators from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has demonstrated a new, non-invasive imaging technique can accurately detect clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer.

SWOG S1011 trial questions the benefits of extended lymphadenectomy in bladder cancer

The SWOG S1011 randomized phase 3 trial found no significant improvement in disease-free or overall survival but a higher rate of grade 3-4 adverse events and an increased risk of death in the 90 days after surgery.

Researchers develop technology to change protein identity in vivo

Researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) have developed technology that can alter, within the body, the recognized identity of proteins. The innovation, published in Nature Communications on October 2, allowed researchers to target mouse tumors with a protein and then transport that protein out of the body.

Researchers question the use of "cancer" for certain prostate conditions

A new paper in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, published by Oxford University Press, indicates that patients may benefit if doctors stop calling certain early-stage changes to the prostate "cancer" at all.
