Research in artificial intelligence by Case Western Reserve scientists gives hope to patients of lung and breast cancer; new discoveries help determine who will benefit from chemotherapy Case Western Reserve University researchers and partners, including a collaborator at Cleveland Clinic, are…

The next Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods (PRCHN) seminar will focus on digital interventions and African-American tobacco smokers. Monica Webb Hooper, director of the Office of Cancer Disparities Research at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center, will present “Digital…

Researchers block two cancer cell signaling pathways and slow tumor growth Blocking two molecular pathways that send signals inside cancer cells could stave off esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), the most common esophageal malignancy in the United States, according to new research from a team led by…

Two projects focus on racial disparities in colorectal and breast cancer The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center received a three-year, nearly $3.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to investigate colorectal and breast cancer health disparities. The grant is one of only four Specialized…

National Institutes of Health funded research to study cancer patients with HIV/AIDS AIDS patients suffer higher rates of cancer because they have fewer T-cells in their bodies to fight disease. But new research examines why HIV-infected patients have higher rates of cancer—among the leading causes…

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…

Ideastream health reporter Marlene Harris-Taylor will take viewers inside a lab at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center via a Facebook Live stream Friday, Sept. 21, at 10 a.m. Harris-Taylor will tour the facilities with Cleveland Clinic researcher Justin Lathia and Anant Madabhushi, the F. Alex…
