May 9, 2022 —Researchers describe a novel form of gene regulation that is altered in bladder cancer, leading to the boosting of a gene pathway that helps the cancer cells survive during rapid growth. The work ...
Mar. 28, 2022 —Adding an anti-inflammatory medication to immunotherapy and standard chemotherapy drugs may provide long-term suppression of aggressive bladder tumor growth, according to a proof-of-concept ...
Oct. 19, 2021 —Identifying the dynamic events occurring during urinary tract infections (UTI) has revealed a new potential strategy to combat this condition, considered the most common type of ...
Oct. 1, 2021 —More than half of U.S. women will experience at least one urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetimes, while a quarter will have a subsequent infection. Recurrent urinary tract infections are ...
Sep. 1, 2021 —Two recent studies describe the potential of liquid biopsies to identify and track tumor growth in two very different cancers: bladder cancer and peripheral nerve tumors. Despite the differences ...
Aug. 16, 2021 —Researchers have found adding the experimental drug entinostat to an immunotherapy-like treatment substantially boosted cancer remission in mice. This approach shows such promise that it's ...
Aug. 2, 2021 —A new treatment for advanced urothelial cancer was effective with tolerable side effects in an international, multi-center phase 2 clinical trial. The trial results prompted a U.S. Food and Drug ...
July 27, 2021 —Researchers report a study has demonstrated that patients with advanced bladder cancers whose tumors have a mutated FGFR3 gene respond to immunotherapy in a manner that is similar to patients without ...
June 21, 2021 —A blood test that can detect tiny amounts of circulating cancer DNA may be able to identify risk of cancer recurrence and guide precision treatment in bladder cancer following surgery, according to a ...
Mar. 18, 2021 —Scientists have demonstrated that blocking 'cell drinking,' or macropinocytosis, in the thick tissue surrounding a pancreatic tumor slowed tumor growth--providing more evidence that ...
Mar. 1, 2021 —Researchers describe a new vaccination strategy that they think could re-program the body to fight off the bacteria that cause urinary tract ...
Jan. 14, 2021 —Why do some hosts' immune systems reject tumors easily, while others have a harder time doing so? It depends on the types of the immune cells known as CD8 T cells and how a host's specific ...
Jan. 7, 2021 —Improving imaging processes will lead to more successful treatments and help reduce morbidity in men with the ...
Oct. 14, 2020 —Scientists have found that the main sensor protein enabling our sense of touch also underlies the feeling of having a full bladder and makes normal bladder function possible. The discovery marks a ...
Sep. 2, 2020 —Researchers studying two forms of skin cancer identified a long-overlooked factor determining why some tumors are more likely to metastasize than others: the physical properties of the tissue in ...
Aug. 28, 2020 —Research has identified a small molecule compound that can activate the Wnt pathway in non-Wnt subtypes of medulloblastoma, making these aggressive forms of cancer more responsive to therapies. The ...
Aug. 13, 2020 —Researchers have discovered which gut bacteria help our immune system battle cancerous tumors and how they do it. The discovery may provide a new understanding of why immunotherapy, a treatment for ...
