A targeted cancer treatment given via a simple injection under the skin shrank tumours in more than one third of patients with recurrent and/or metastatic head and neck cancer whose disease has stopped responding to standard treatments.

New Funding To Expand Landmark Blood Cancer Research

A University of Liverpool-led research team has been awarded more than £475,000 from Blood Cancer UK to continue and expand UNCOVER, one of the largest blood cancer data research programmes in the world.

Novel IL1RAP Therapy Advances Toward Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trial

Blocking IL1RAP, a receptor that sits at a key control point in inflammatory signaling, can disrupt the tumor-driven inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer resist treatment, according to new research.

Why More Under-50s Are Being Diagnosed With Cancer Than Earlier Generations
