Results from the study, led by UNC Lineberger’s Stephanie Wheeler, PhD, MPH, and Donald Rosenstein, MD, were presented October 16 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Quality Care Symposium and published simultaneously in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

As prostate cancer continues to affect men across North Carolina, advances in detection and targeted treatment are changing how physicians approach localized and metastatic forms of the disease.

The international research effort created hundreds of patient-derived cancer models that closely reflect the molecular features of patients’ original tumors.

UNC researchers will use AI to speed development of personalized cancer vaccines and share findings with cancer researchers and oncologists worldwide.

New prognostic model uses routine clinical data to flag declining health and support timelier, patient-centered care.

UNC Lineberger’s Advanced Cellular Therapeutics Facility is helping to improve personalized CAR T-cell therapy for patients in North Carolina and around the world.

The Mathers Foundation, a highly selective national funder of innovative basic biomedical research, is supporting Thaxton’s work on a discovery that has the potential to transform human health.

Researchers will develop and implement new strategies to address common barriers to care and reach patients due for cancer screenings for breast, colorectal, lung, and/or cervical cancers.

UNC researchers are recruiting North Carolinians for a study to see whether a blood test could detect 10 types of cancer.

Researchers are investigating a new way to tackle bone cancer while minimizing toxicity typically associated with chemotherapy.

Backed by results from the OPTIMA trial, the Prosigna Breast Risk of Recurrence (ROR) test offers a new way to personalize treatment and reduce unnecessary chemotherapy for patients with breast cancer.

How a cancer is first discovered can shape what happens next, and new research shows that steps are needed to map out treatment for older adults diagnosed in the emergency department who face sharply lower survival.
