As gene editing technology continues to advance, it could fundamentally change the landscape of cancer treatment. A couple of decades ago, I was interviewing for hematology/oncology fellowships around the country. During an interview, a program director asked me a question that I had never thought about before and did not see coming. The question went something like this: “If you were the director of the National Cancer Institute and you had $3 billion to invest on 1 and only 1 area of oncology research, where would you spend it?”

Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), otherwise known as silent reflux, is a form of acid reflux. The esophagus (food tube) has special rings of muscle (sphincters) at the top and the bottom. If the esophageal sphincters don't close properly, acid can flow up the esophagus and into the throat and voice box.

When lung cancer spreads beyond the lungs, it usually first affects nearby lymph nodes. But doctors don’t usually consider lung cancer to be “metastatic” until it has spread to more distant parts of the body. Lung cancer can spread throughout the body in several ways. Cancerous cells...

BERLIN — In the world of cancer treatment, timing might be the next big breakthrough. A new study reveals that the effectiveness of cancer drugs can vary dramatically depending on the time of day they’re administered. This discovery could lead to more effective treatments with fewer side-effects, potentially transforming the lives of millions of cancer patients worldwide.

Cancer cells need fuel to survive and thrive. The energy they need usually comes from glucose in the blood. Some studies have shown that intermittent fasting or a ketogenic diet—high in fat and low in carbohydrates—can help to protect against cancer. These cause the body to break down fat to form molecules called ketones, which can serve as the body’s main energy source while glucose is scarce. Fasting and ketogenic diets likely work by limiting the amount of glucose available to feed cancer cells. But some cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, can also use ketones as an energy source.

Christina Zielinski and her team have discovered that sodium chloride can enhance the activity of specific immune cells in combating cancer. Sodium chloride, commonly known as “table salt,” was once a highly prized commodity. Today, it is both affordable and essential in the kitchen. Unsurprisingly, salt has also made its way into our everyday language, often carrying negative connotations. However, the phrase “rubbing salt into the wound” may soon take on a positive meaning, particularly in the context of cancer therapy.

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL 5 A.M. ET ON AUG. 30, 2024. What a submerged ancient bridge discovered in a Spanish cave reveals about early human settlement. Led by a USF geologist, a team of researchers examined a submerged 25-foot bridge to tackle a long-lasting archaeological controversy: When humans settled on the islands in the western Mediterranean. Their findings narrow a historical gap between the settlement timelines of the eastern and western Mediterranean regions.

The pomegranate, a symbol of prosperity, hope, and abundance for over four thousand years, has deeply influenced culture and history. Often depicted in art and literature, it is even suggested by some scholars that the forbidden fruit eaten by Eve in the Garden of Eden was a pomegranate, not an apple.

Medically reviewed by Marla Anderson, MDMedically reviewed by Marla Anderson, MDNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a type of cancer that begins in the tissues of the lungs. About 80-85% of all lung cancer cases in the United States are classified as NSCLC. NSCLC occurs when the cells that line the surface of the lung airways change and mutate. When these abnormal cells rapidly divide and multiply, they lead to cancer. The most common cause of NSCLC is smoking, with about 90% of lung cancer cases being related to tobacco smoke exposure. It is possible to be diagnosed with NSCLC if you...
