Two separate but complementary studies have identified a new way to classify meningioma, the most common type of #BrainTumor. The system may help predict whether a patient’s tumor will grow back after treatment and may lead to new treatments. cancer.gov/news-events/ca…

Men diagnosed with low-risk #ProstateCancer are increasingly opting against immediate treatment and choosing active surveillance, a new study finds. Rates of active surveillance more than doubled between 2014 and 2021. cancer.gov/news-events/ca… UC San Francisco

People with cancer who take #immunotherapy drugs often develop skin #SideEffects, including itching and painful rashes. New research in mice suggests these side effects may be caused by the immune system attacking new bacterial colonies on the skin. cancer.gov/news-events/ca…

Men with metastatic #melanoma don’t live as long as women, and their tumors are more likely to become resistant to commonly used treatments. A new study may help to explain why. cancer.gov/news-events/ca…

NCI researchers are developing an #immunotherapy that involves injecting protein bits from cytomegalovirus (CMV) into tumors. In mice, the treatment shrank tumors and kept them from returning. cancer.gov/news-events/ca… @nciresearchctr

A combination of the targeted drugs dabrafenib (Tafinlar) and trametinib (Mekinist) has been approved for nearly any type of advanced solid tumor with a specific mutation in the BRAF gene. NCI-MATCH #ClinicalTrial data helped to inform the approval. cancer.gov/news-events/ca…

Every person’s cancer is different. There’s no guarantee a given treatment is going to work. But a team of researchers hope to soon offer #oncologists a new tool to guide treatment choices for their patients, based on results from a small study-cancer.gov/news-events/ca… #OncTwitter

Regular visits and calls from community health workers resulted in multiple benefits for those with advanced cancers, from greater use of #PalliativeCare to decreased hospital visits and improved quality of life. Read more from this new study: cancer.gov/news-events/ca… #CancerCare

The fusion protein that drives the growth and survival of some rhabdomyosarcoma tumors relies on the KDM4B enzyme, researchers found. Treating mice with a KDM4B-blocking drug and chemotherapy nearly eliminated rhabdomyosarcoma tumors with this protein. cancer.gov/news-events/ca…
