New Studies Reveal How Cancer Cells Survive Chemotherapy and Resist Treatment

Jul 31, 2026

New studies reveal how cancer cells survive chemotherapy: fructose promotes ovarian cancer spread, platinum-treated 'zombie cells' release TGFβ in lung and ovarian cancers, and mitochondrial metabolism drives 5FU resistance in colorectal cancer. The findings point to potential combination therapy targets.

High Biomarker Testing Rates Achieved Across Racial Groups in Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, Yet Disparities Persist

Aug 03, 2026

A study of 450 mTNBC patients in community practices found high biomarker testing rates and encouraging outcomes across racial groups, with Hispanic patients showing the longest survival. However, Black women of West African ancestry face the highest TNBC incidence and greater neuropathy from paclitaxel, making docetaxel a potential alternative. Social determinants like neighborhood deprivation and allostatic load are also linked to TNBC risk.
