The Canadian Indigenous Nurses Association and the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research today announced a new partnership to include Indigenous priorities in cancer research, build capacity for research with and within First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, and increase research participation to ultimately reduce the burden of cancers within these populations.

Unnecessary cancer screenings continue with little tracking, risking overdiagnosis.

Exercising during chemotherapy and before surgery may help the body send more immune cells into cancerous tumours, according to a first-of-its-kind pilot study from the University of Surrey and Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust.

Using RNA sequencing analysis, researchers at University of Tsukuba have classified T-follicular helper lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, according to genomic abnormalities and the tumor microenvironment. Each classification has different clinical characteristics and outcomes. These findings may contribute to treatment optimization.

About The Study: In this cohort study, state Medigap guaranteed issue protections were associated with higher rates of switching to traditional Medicare among Medicare Advantage beneficiaries newly diagnosed with cancer. These findings underscore the protective association of state Medigap regulations in facilitating a switch to traditional Medicare (especially among beneficiaries who likely desired more flexibility in accessing and receiving care) and illuminate potential disparities in switching that may reflect unequal abilities to compare and afford plans.

Detection of melanoma and a range of other skin diseases will be faster and more accurate with a new AI powered tool that analyses multiple imaging types simultaneously, developed by an international team of researchers led by Monash University.
