What Is Metastatic Throat Cancer? It’s cancer that starts in your throat and spreads to other parts of your body. Your doctor may call it stage IV or advanced throat cancer. Most throat cancers are ...

A protein found in our cells could act as an early warning sign for aggressive cancers—and a new target for drugs to stop them spreading. This is the discovery of scientists from Brunel University of ...

The mitochondria may be the powerhouse of the cell, but mounting evidence suggests this organelle is also a driving force behind cancer. Now, new evidence points to the mitochondrial metabolite ...

When prostate cancer spreads beyond the prostate gland to other parts of the body, it becomes what medical professionals call metastatic prostate cancer. This advanced form of the disease represents a ...

Breast cancer, particularly triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality due to its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic targets. Metabolic ...
