Height does increase your cancer risk – but only by a very small amount.

Some cancers are notoriously resistant to chemotherapy and not curable with surgery. Stopping tumors from adapting to the harsh microenvironments of the body could be a potential treatment avenue.
Counterintuitively, cells move faster in thicker fluids. New research on breast cancer cells explains why, and reveals the role that fluid viscosity plays in metastasis.
The NanoMslide causes potentially cancerous cells to ‘light up’ with vivid colour contrast. It has already been successful in finding early-stage breast cancer cells in human tissue.
Cancer treatment could be revolutionised by the discovery of the origin cells which divide first.
I have worked on this problem for many years, and to be honest it still blows my mind to really think about just how complex it is.
Researchers have long been looking for clues into how to treat triple negative breast cancer. Could fighter blood cells that infiltrate the tumor provide insight?
Targeting the complex sugars on cancer cells is receiving renewed attention.
New research suggests that far from helping treatment, antioxidants can change cancer cells to make them spread more quickly.
Novel drugs that reduce the spread of cancer in mice could pave the way for changing the way we fight tumours.
Eating less sugar isn’t enough to stop glucose-hungry cancer cells but new research points the way to how we might starve them to death.
Liver cancer is one of the most deadly diseases in the world with around 700,000 patients being diagnosed and more than 600,000 patients dying of the disease annually, according to the American Cancer…
Carbon monoxide has been found to shrink tumours and improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy in treating cancer. Small…
