American Center for Cancer Research: DNA methylation “fingerprints” identify primary sites in metastatic cancers

Erica Goodpaster — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:47:18 +0000

A machine learning model analyzing CpG-based DNA methylation accurately predicted the origin of many different cancer types in patients with cancers of unknown primary (CUP), according to research presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, held April 17-22. CUP are metastatic malignancies in which the primary cancer site could not […]

Cancer Survival Rises

Dr. Keith J. Kaplan — Wed, 14 Jan 2026 15:51:58 +0000

From CNN: The five-year cancer survival rate in the US has reached 70% for the first time, according to an American Cancer Society report released yesterday. The figure, based on diagnoses from 2015 to 2021, is up from 49% in the mid-1970s and 63% in the mid-1990s. The ACS attributes the rise to wider and earlier screening, lower smoking […]

UCL: AI tool helps predict treatment success in rectal cancer patients

Erica Goodpaster — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 13:18:14 +0000

Artificial intelligence (AI) can predict how well patients with rectal cancer will respond to treatment by analysing standard tissue samples taken during diagnosis, finds a new study from researchers at UCL and UCLH. In most cancers, the immune landscape surrounding a tumour plays a major role in determining how cancer progresses and how patients respond […]
