Case Western Reserve researchers pioneer new computer imaging method to detect likelihood of cancer based on changes in blood vessels and regions outside tumor Scientists in Anant Madabhushi’s computational imaging lab at Case Western Reserve University have started thinking outside the box—or in…

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…

Targeting longnNoncoding RNAs may offer gains compared to conventional approaches Certain genes that code for proteins have long been known to contribute to cancer progression. But in a frame shift, researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine recently found that non-coding…

Case Western Reserve researchers accurately predict how well body will fight lung cancer—based on patterns of immune cells Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered how to quickly and accurately predict which lung cancer patients will benefit from chemotherapy by analyzing how…

Join fellow researchers, clinicians and community leaders at the third annual Cancer Disparities Symposium, “Eliminating Cancer Disparities: Staying the Course toward Collective Impact,” to be held Friday, March 1, at Tinkham Veale University Center. This event will showcase cutting-edge research,…

Lan Zhou, associate professor of pathology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, has received a five-year, $2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health to study human colorectal cancer. Her work focuses on the effect of the imbalance of…

Findings may help identify men who need early, regular screening As the result of a six-year long research process, Fredrick R. Schumacher, a cancer epidemiology researcher at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and an international team of more than 100 colleagues have identified…
