With a $3.99 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, biomedical engineers from Case Western Reserve University and the University of Chicago will begin testing an implantable device that restores the sense of touch to breast cancer patients after reconstructive surgery. In this projec...

Awarded five-year, $3.05 million grant from National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute With a new five-year, $3.05 million grant from the National Institutes of Health and National Cancer Institute, researchers at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center and University Hospitals (UH) will...

In October, pink ribbons become a common sight as organizations promote breast cancer awareness. The goal of these efforts is to encourage those at risk of developing the disease to get mammograms in hopes of catching potential diagnoses early, when treatment is most effective. But despite efforts...

Students Against Cancer will host a charity Breast Cancer 5K/Fun Run Saturday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to noon on DiSanto Field. All funds raised during this event will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and for every mile run, a generous anonymous donor will donate $3 to that charity. Food...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month—an ideal time to join the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center for its annual Great Lakes Breast Cancer Symposium, to be held virtually Oct. 25-26. The event will highlight ongoing basic, translational, clinical and population studies addressing the biological m...

Findings shed light on which tumors may respond better to immune checkpoint blockade therapy

Scientists in Anant Madabhushi's computational imaging lab confirm role of collagen structure in tissue for predicting aggressiveness of tumors, recurrence of cancer Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify new biomarkers for breast cancer tha...

Case Western Reserve University researcher takes aim at hard-to-treat metastatic cancers by using new method to unlock ‘cold tumors’ for successful treatment A team of scientists led by aresearcher at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine is making strides to fight deadly metastati...

Case Western Reserve digital-imaging lab advances understanding of which ‘stage 0’ patients are most likely to progress to advanced cancer and may benefit from additional therapy New research at Case Western Reserve University could help better determine which patients diagnosed with the pre-malign...

Case Western Reserve researchers uncover novel drug targets by piecing together receptor structures Many breast cancer drugs block estrogen receptors inside cancer cells. Blocking the receptors early in disease progression staves off metastasis. But most patients with advanced disease eventually dev...
