For patients with early-stage cervical cancer, sentinel lymph node biopsy alone is noninferior to lymphadenectomy with respect to disease-free survival, according to a study published online Oct. 15 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Teenagers who don't get enough sleep on school nights or have interrupted sleep are at greater risk of suicide, new research from the University of Warwick has found.

Ewing sarcoma is one of the most common bone cancers seen in children, and if it spreads, it can be deadly. One study found that under a quarter of children with multi-metastatic Ewing sarcoma survived five years after their diagnosis.

Anti-obesity medication semaglutide may help to prevent heart attacks and other major cardiac events regardless of how much weight people lose while taking the drug, according to a new study led by a UCL researcher.

Each microenvironment showed a different mix of cells and its own pattern of communication between tumor B-cells and immune cells.

A study conducted by researchers at the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) has shown that ATP-sensitive mitochondrial potassium channels (MitoKATP) are involved in both the development of brown fat cells and the activation of mitochondrial uncoupling in these cells, a process that dissipates energy in the form of heat.

An international collaborative study has identified the E2F2 protein as a potential new therapeutic target to prevent metabolic fatty liver disease from progressing toward more serious conditions, such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.
