Study suggests method to starve pancreatic cancer cells
Rather than attacking cancer cells directly, new cell-model research probes weaknesses in pancreatic cancer’s interactions with other cells to obtain nutrients needed for tumor growth.
Biopsy alternative: “Wearable” device captures cancer cells from blood
New device caught more than three times as many cancer cells as conventional blood draw samples.
“Labyrinth” chip could help monitor aggressive cancer stem cells
A breast cancer clinical trial relies on a hydrodynamic maze to capture cancer stem cells from patient blood.
A blood test can predict early lung cancer prognosis
Cancer cells traveling in groups through the bloodstream may signal the need for further treatment.
