EMBARGOED: Cancer risk is significantly higher for adults who never married, large study finds

University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study of more than 4 million cases finds that adults who never married face nearly double the cancer risk—especially for preventable cancers tied to smoking, infection and reproductive factors. These findings suggest that marital status could help target screening and prevention efforts.

Researchers find new target to sensitize pancreatic tumors to immunotherapy

University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center
Peer-Reviewed Publication

DPY30 acts as an epigenetic regulator to help pancreatic tumors maintain genomic stability

Targeting DPY30 triggers immune cell infiltration and sensitizes tumors to immunotherapy

DPY30 expression could predict which patients are more likely to benefit from immunotherapy

Therapeutic strategies could combine DPY30 inhibition with immunotherapy to improve patient outcomes

RST2G: residual-guided spatiotemporal transformer graph fusion enhancement for breast cancer segmentation in DCE-MRI

Beijing Institute of Technology Press Co., Ltd
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research paper by scientists from Suining Central Hospital proposed a novel residual-guided spatiotemporal transformer with graph fusion enhancement (RST2G) framework for precise breast tumor segmentation in ynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI).

The new research paper, published on Mar. 23 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed a groundbreaking deep learning framework for precise breast tumor segmentation in DCE-MRI.
