One study shows how it may be possible to stop acute myeloid leukemia by targeting a hidden population of cells that support the cancer. Another reveals how AML evolves to evade anti-cancer drugs,...

Even when anti-cancer drugs appear to eliminate tumors, a resistant few malignant cells can survive and allow cancers to resume a fatal onslaught. Researchers at OHSU in Portland have revealed a...
Breast cancers that emerge in young women within a few years after pregnancy are strikingly more dangerous. A new study suggests that the common pain reliever ibuprofen might work as a preventive...
OHSU researchers led by Lisa M. Coussens, Ph.D., have revealed a novel mechanism underlying how cancer cells co-opt complement proteins of the immune system to promote tumor growth. And the...
Egg and sperm cells fuse together to begin a unique new life. Certain muscle and bone cells fuse together during development to gain new properties. But cell fusion also is a process that cancer...
Cancer researchers have identified key factors in the surroundings of tumor cells that it may be possible to target to improve outcomes for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Co-principal...
From basic science to survivorship and patient advocacy, the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute’s 'Cancer translated' blog explores new ideas and debates in cancer medicine. We sorted a year’s worth...
To discover ways to prevent or delay resistance to cancer therapies, a new NCI-funded center at OHSU is exploring how acute myeloid leukemia cells evolve and adapt. The first successful targeted...
Preventing skin cancer with a DNA-repair enzyme. Understanding how microRNAs modify cancer immunity. Using zebrafish embryos to rapidly assess toxicity of anticancer drug combinations. These are...
Aggressive prostate tumors can rapidly evolve to resist PARP inhibitors, but it may be possible to detect resistance early enough to counteract....
