Focus on advancing immunomodulating cancer treatments – Christian Doppler Laboratory for Personalized Immunotherapy opened at MedUni Vienna: The interactions between cancer tissue and a patient’s individual immune system are part of a complex and hitherto insufficiently understood interplay. However, a thorough understanding of this complex orchestration of activating and suppressing signals is essential as a […]
How stress can stop immune cells in their tracks: Researchers have discovered that signals produced by nerves in response to stress can stop immune cells from effectively fighting pathogens or tumours.

Loneliness in men linked to cancer risk: A recent study by the University of Eastern Finland shows that loneliness among middle-aged men is associated with an increased risk of cancer. According to the researchers, taking account of loneliness and social relationships should thus be an important part of comprehensive health care and disease prevention. The […]
Researchers from the University of East Anglia have developed a new urine test for prostate cancer which also shows how aggressive the disease is. A new study published today shows how an experimental new test called ‘ExoGrail‘ has the potential to revolutionise how patients with suspected prostate cancer are risk-assessed prior to an invasive biopsy. […]

Review summarizes known links between endocrine disruptors and breast cancer risk: Exposure to certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals could elevate the risk of breast cancer, according to a new comprehensive systematic review of epidemiological research. However, for many chemicals, evidence is inconsistent or still limited. The review was carried out by researchers at the universities of Hong […]
Cancer patients from the UK were 1.5 times more likely to die following a diagnosis with COVID-19 than cancer patients from European countries. This is the finding of a study of over 1000 patients – 924 from European countries and 468 from the UK – during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research […]
