Researchers have uncovered a key reason why a typically normal protein goes awry and fuels cancer. They found the protein NSD2 alters the function of the androgen receptor, an important regulator of normal prostate development.

Baladandayuthapani will facilitate cancer research efforts using biostatistics, bioinformatics, computational biology and other advanced data science approaches

As cancer treatment and survivorship care relies more on understanding the genetic make up of an individual’s tumor, a study from the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center finds that many breast cancer survivors who meet criteria for genetic counseling and testing are not receiving it.

Researchers find common immune system mechanism between pregnancy, cancer

Funding will allow local organizations to implement programs and services aimed at reducing disparities in cancer

Changing how often a popular cancer therapy is delivered would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve environmental impact without decreasing cancer survival, according to a new analysis from researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center.

A new urine-based test helps men avoid unnecessary biopsies and addresses a major problem in prostate cancer: how to separate the slow growing form of the disease unlikely to cause harm from more aggressive cancer that needs immediate treatment.

Socially vulnerable patients were more likely to stick with oral medications when treated at a hospital participating in 340B program, suggesting these hospitals may have more resources to help patients.

Model shows how oncostreams form and behave in brain tumors – and how to inhibit them

Expert explains six behavioral risk factors for cancer and why current programs don’t always meet the needs of people from racially and ethnically minoritized groups and other vulnerable populations.

Founding Rogel Cancer Center Director reflects on how cancer evolved from ‘the least scientific discipline’ to a shining example of how basic research discoveries can change clinical care.

As guest editor for a themed journal issue, Lori Pierce helps highlight the multiple factors that can make cancer care and prevention more equitable and reduce the burden of this disease for all

Researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center have identified a mechanism that causes severe gastrointestinal problems with immune-based cancer treatment, also finding a way to deliver immunotherapy’s cancer-killing impact without the unwelcome side effect.

Pearce, professor of epidemiology at the School of Public Health and co-lead of Rogel’s cancer control and population sciences program, reflects on the project and why bringing this study to Michigan is so critical.

Researchers from the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center have developed a monitoring system using a research genetics program to trigger alerts about cancer patients suspected to have the DPYD gene variant.
