UC San Diego scientists are testing a new potential cancer treatment in space. Why it matters: The NASA-funded mission will ...

A tumor’s size and location can help doctors determine the cancer stage and most effective treatment, along with other factors. As part of a breast cancer diagnosis, doctors order testing to ...

Research led by the Department of General and Visceral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Germany has ...

Cancer staging is the process of determining how much cancer is within the body (tumor size) and if it has spread. For breast cancer, this might take the form of clinical (pre-surgical) staging or ...

An AI system called iSeg is reshaping radiation oncology by automatically outlining lung tumors in 3D as they shift with each ...

Post-treatment breast MRI often underestimates tumor size in invasive lobular carcinoma, especially with non-mass enhancement ...

Tumor size modeled as a continuous variable in the multivariate Cox regression model demonstrated a similar relationship with risk of cancer-related mortality (hazard ratio, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.18 to ...

This is because the primary tumor continuously releases cancer cells into the blood. These CTCs can join together into small clusters of up to a dozen cells and settle in other organs. There, the ...

Real-world data shows a clear association between increased tumor size and mortality in brain cancer patients. Early diagnosis using Dxcover's PANAROMIC liquid biopsy platform can reduce mortality ...

The first signs of a tumor are often unusual symptoms you can’t explain. Doctors use “tumor typing” to find out if the mass is cancer and, if so, to narrow down the type of tumor. Find out more.

Regardless of a tumor's size, the most concerning aspect of having one is whether it is cancerous, also known as malignant. Fortunately, about 90% of tumors are noncancerous, also known as benign.

Scientists uncover surprising immune response that helps tumors grow, revealing new strategies to improve treatment ...
