    • An experimental cancer treatment regimen is achieving full remissions in some patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma, researchers report.

    Research suggests that tattoo ink spurs inflammatory changes that might contribute to the development of lymphoma.

    The findings are early, however, and more study must be done to confirm any links between tattooing and the blood cancer, Swedish researchers stressed.

    "People will likely want to continue to express their identity through tattoos, and therefore it is very important tha...

    An older drug used in a new way could open the path for more patients with potentially deadly blood cancers to receive a lifesaving stem cell transplant, a new study finds.

    The drug, cyclophosphamide, could help patients receive a stem cell transplant even if the donor isn't a relative and only partially matches their blood type, researchers report.

    Blood cancer patients had a high ...

    Polycythemia vera is a rare form of blood cancer with few good treatment options, but that may soon change based on the results of a new clinical trial.

    Radiation therapy might not be necessary in treating some forms of rectal cancer and lymphoma, sparing patients from the toxic treatment, a pair of new clinical trials shows.

    One trial found that rectal cancer patients whose tumors shrink in response to chemotherapy can safely skip the radiation therapy that's normally provided prior to surgery, researchers reported at the American Societ...

    It involves removing a patient's own immune system T-c...

    • Anti-vaxxers felt their suspicions confirmed when former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell died from COVID-19 complications in mid-October despite being fully vaccinated.

    Nearly 3 out of 5 bloo...

    Private insurers paid out about $156.2 billion in 2018 for U.S. patients with the 15 most common cancers.

    Patients with B-cell blood cancers who did not make antibodies to COVID-19 after two shots of vaccine may find that a third shot does the trick, new research finds.
