Researchers have found that human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are highly effective at reducing cervical cancer-causing infections and can offer herd immunity, reinforcing previous research and highlighting the need for a global HPV vaccine rollout.

A new lab study exploited a unique aspect of metabolism in glioblastoma to boost the effectiveness of chemoradiation, turning the cancer's properties against itself.

A new mRNA-based vaccine triggers a response from the innate immune system to help arm the body against cancer, a mouse study finds. It's now in early human trials.

A new study underscores a known link between planned C-sections and the risk of ALL, a childhood cancer. But overall, the risk is still very small, experts caution.

Free-floating DNA carrying cancerous mutations was detected in blood three years before any other signs of cancer appeared. If approved as a test, doctors might detect cancers sooner and treat them before they spread.

The rates of certain early-onset cancers are on the rise. The reasons are complex, experts say.
