The body’s immune systemis a powerful force that is constantly fighting disease to keep us healthy. But cancers often work out a way to get around it. Treatments that reveal cancer to the immune system so that it can recognise, target and kill cancer cells have been showing promise. But they don’t work in all patients, or against all cancers. That’...
While some cancer cells are killed by treatment, others can survive. This is why some cancers can come back. The cancer cells that aren’t destroyed can continue to grow, forming a tumour again. To get around this, doctors often give different treatments in combination. But it’s not always clear which combination is best, or how much of each treatme...

It’s believed that the cancer cells that weren’t killed by initial treatment can go to sleep, lying dormant before a new chance to grow kicks in. But what causes some cancer cells to go sle...

These microbiota have important roles in maintaining people’s health and in the development of different diseases – including cancer. Scientists have shown that these mi...
Being overweight or obese is linked to 13 types of cancer. But unlike some other causes of cancer, we’re still in the dark about exactly how excess bodyweight causes these diseases. Similarly, we know that being physically active can reduce the risk of developing cancer, but we don’t fully understand the mechanics of why this is. If scientists and ...
