Cervical cancer, often caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, remains a public health challenge worldwide despite falling diagnoses related to the success of the HPV vaccine[GR1] in young adult women.
The five-day session (April 5-10), themed as “Inspiring Science. Fueling Progress. Revolutionizing Care,” will include new findings from Yale Cancer Center researchers.
Yale Cancer Center (YCC) and Smilow Cancer Hospital physicians and scientists will share new data for breakthrough and emerging cancer treatments as well as new discoveries in obesity, tobacco, evolution, and early onset cancers in early April at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, tends not to respond well to immunotherapy treatments, including durvalumab. However, Yale Cancer Center (YCC) researchers recently reported in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology that the targeted therapy osimertinib, when administered after chemotherapy and radiation, is associated with significantly improved progression-free survival (living without the cancer worsening).
One major hurdle in the development of safe and effective immunotherapies has been the risk of depleting healthy T cells during CAR-T treatment that seeks out and kills cancerous T-cells. In a new study published in Nature Communications, Yale Cancer Center researchers have developed a novel CAR-T cell therapy designed to efficiently kill cancerous T cells while leaving most healthy cells intact.

Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine will present new cancer research at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers Symposium as well as the ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium this month.
The targeted therapy trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-Dxd), an antibody drug conjugate, is now an approved treatment of HER2-low advanced breast cancers. In a new study led by Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine, their findings revealed important differences in the genetic makeup of HER2-low advanced breast cancers — a discovery that could lead to better treatment options for patients.
Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) often face a reduced quality of life and a lower life expectancy. Allotransplantation, the first treatment for SCD with curative potential, comes with risks, including transplant-related mortality. Gene therapy, once approved for SCD, could also offer a lifelong cure without the risk associated with allotransplantation.
Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine will present new research at the 46th annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) from December 5 to 9. The international symposium provides leading-edge breast cancer information on prevention, etiology, diagnosis, and therapy as well as experimental biology. This year’s symposium, at the Henry B.
Physicians and scientists from Yale Cancer Center, part of Yale School of Medicine, will present new research at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, Calif., from December 9 to 12. This year’s ASH meeting will include oral and poster presentations, workshops, and educational sessions for hematology professionals.
Using nanoparticles administered directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a research team has developed a treatment that may overcome significant challenges in treating a particularly deadly brain cancer.
Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine will present new cancer research at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Madrid, Spain, October 20 to 24. The annual meeting brings together clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates from all over the world. At ESMO 2023, oncologists will discuss new data and report updates on ongoing studies.
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a debilitating yet all-too-common condition, which can severely affect quality of life for patients undergoing treatment. For those struggling with CRF, there have been no effective pharmaceutical treatments for the constellation of symptoms that together define the syndrome.
Yale Cancer Center physicians, scientists, and trainees from Yale School of Medicine present new findings at the 65th annual American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) meeting from October 1-4 in San Diego, Calif.
What are some of the biggest challenges you face in caring for cancers in children? The biggest challenges are around supporting the parents. For the most part, children are resilient and upbeat.
What advances have made the biggest impact in the treatment of patients with thyroid cancer over the last five years, and what is the outlook for thyroid cancer in the next five years? Molecular testing (MT) to examine somatic changes has become an important adjunct in the diagnosis and treatment of many cancers.
Prostate screening is a critical part of early diagnosis. How would you encourage a man reading this to see his doctor to begin prostate screenings? The decision to screen for prostate cancer is highly individualized, considering each man’s personal risk, race, as well as other potential health conditions.
As we honor lymphoma awareness month, what do you want our patients and families to pause and remember?Lymphoma is a disease which can strike any one of us, young and old, at any time.
Treatment planning for lung cancer can often be complex due to variations in assessing immune biomarkers. In a new study, Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School of Medicine used artificial intelligence (AI) tools and digital pathology to improve the accuracy of this process.
