A  new tumor-modeling platform called a tumor-microenvironment-on-chip can be used to visualize and quantify how different types of cancer cells react differently to the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin

By creating a cell model of medulloblastoma from human cells rather than working with mouse cells, the researchers say they can be more confident that patients’ response to the drugs identified in the screenings may be more comparable to humans

Swedish researchers' work could lead to more effective cancer treatments that don't damage healthy cells

Glucose-enhanced MRI provides safer alternative for tumor imaging

Researchers prevent, normalize tumors using light to control cell electric signals

"The bottom line is that so far there are only a few successful nanoparticle formulations approved and clinically used, so we need to start thinking out of the box."

Scientists have long thought that cancer is an evolutionary process that involves cells acquiring mutations that replicate and persist over time

For years, scientists have been striving to develop localized treatments to reduce side effects of therapeutic drugs

University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry blog shares the school's latest research on tumor growth and how the body reacts
