Sleep Habits, Immuno-Oncology and More…

The latest in Cancer Research:

  • Researchers at the American Technion Society have developed a new diagnostic technology to determine which anticancer drugs will work best for a specific patient — before treatment even begins. Read more about innovation in Nature Communications.
  • According to a study published in the Annals of Medicine, men who have worked night shifts for more than 20 years, or who work night shifts without daytime napping, or sleep for more than ten hours per night on average may have an increased risk of cancer.
  • A recent paper published in Cancer Control, examines the landscape of current knowledge and gaps in genomics and genetics in Latinas with breast cancer.
  • One of the more talked about topics in current cancer research is immuno-oncology, where drug therapy such as immuno-therapies targets the body’s immune system to fight cancer. This article sponsored by AstraZeneca sheds further light on this therapeutic approach.
