The latest cancer news from the U.S. government's principal agency for cancer research.
- In five cancer types, prevention and screening have been major contributors to saving lives
Over the past 45 years, the majority of deaths averted from breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancer were due to prevention and screening, rather than treatment advances, NCI researchers have found.
- Researchers uncover new role of mutant RAS proteins in some of the deadliest cancers
A new study led by NCI researchers shows that mutant RAS proteins help release a nuclear protein from a complex transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, kicking off a series of events that lead to the breakdown of a tumor suppressor protein.
- NIH-funded scientists uncover clues to precancer and tumor biology
New studies released by NCI’s Human Tumor Atlas Network explore the role of the tumor microenvironment and the immune system in promoting the spread of cancer and its resistance to treatment. The studies appear across several Nature journals.
- NIH clinical trial will test precision medicine treatments for myeloid cancers
NCI has launched myeloMATCH, a precision medicine treatment trial that will test treatment combinations targeting specific genetic changes in people with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes.
- New cancer diagnoses did not rebound as expected following pandemic
While new cancer diagnoses largely returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2021, they don’t account for the missed diagnoses in early 2020 that resulted from disruptions in cancer screening and other medical care.
The latest NCI fact sheets on a wide array of cancer topics including risk factors, prevention, support, treatment, and more.
- Tumor Markers
A fact sheet that defines tumor markers and describes how they can be used to aid diagnosis and treatment.
- Targeted Cancer Therapies
A fact sheet that describes targeted cancer therapies, which are drugs that interfere with specific molecules involved in cancer cell growth and survival.
- Genetic Testing for Inherited Cancer Susceptibility Syndromes
A fact sheet about genetic testing for inherited cancer risk, including who should consider testing, how to understand test results, and who has access to a person’s test results. Also contains information about at-home, or direct-to-consumer, genetic tests.
- Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer
A fact sheet that describes hormone therapy and its role in treating prostate cancer. Includes information about the different types of hormone therapy, how they are used, and possible side effects.
- HPV and Pap Testing
A fact sheet that describes cervical cancer screening, which includes the Pap test and HPV testing. The fact sheet includes information about cervical cancer screening guidelines.
