Study offers clues to blood cancer risk, revealing how gene mutations compete over time
Researchers at Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, have developed a new way to understand how genetic changes linked to blood cancer evolve in our cells and why most people […]
New £1m clinical trial launches to improve quality of life for people with blood cancer
Dr Kevin Rouault-Pierre and team at Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, have been awarded funding to launch a new clinical trial aiming to improve quality of life […]
Cells’ recycling system plays a surprising role in shaping immune cell DNA
Researchers have discovered a new mechanism by which B cells – antibody-producing immune cells – use a cellular recycling process called autophagy to control changes to their DNA essential for […]
‘Pill-on-a-thread’ could replace endoscopies for half of all patients being monitored for oesophageal cancer risk
Endoscopies could be replaced by far less invasive capsule sponge tests for half of all patients with Barrett’s oesophagus, a known precursor to oesophageal cancer, according to a new study […]
Scientists find new way to predict how bowel cancer drugs will stop working – paving the way for smarter treatments
Scientists have developed a tool that can predict how bowel cancer adapts to treatment – helping researchers to design new personalised drugs that will keep patients living well for longer. […]
Scientists uncover promising leukaemia treatment targeting fat metabolism
Researchers have uncovered a potential new approach to treating acute myeloid leukaemia by targeting the way cancer cells metabolise fat. The new study, led by Dr Vilma Dembitz and Dr […]
Scientific Basis of Urology Course
Join us for a four-day executive course taught by distinguished expert faculty, including key opinion leaders in their fields. We will explore the basic science of benign and malignant urological […]
Scientists uncover protein with the power to help or hinder breast cancer progression
New research has shed light on how one of the most difficult-to-treat types of breast cancer defends itself against immune attack. The findings could help more patients to benefit from […]
Scientists uncover promising new treatment strategy for aggressive form of leukaemia
Scientists have uncovered a promising treatment strategy for an aggressive type of leukaemia – through targeting the enzymes that cells normally use to sense and adapt to changing oxygen levels. […]
New method discovered to halt active cancer cells
Scientists have discovered a way to stop active cancer cells in their tracks – meaning they can then be eliminated by new drug treatments. A collaborative research project between the […]
