¿Curar el cáncer? Con la investigación empieza todo
En el Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas, el CNIO, investigamos para aprender a reducir el riesgo de cáncer; detectarlo cuanto antes; y tratarlo eficazmente. Sabemos que no es fácil, y que avanzaremos poco a poco. Pero tenemos claro que nuestro trabajo, la investigación, es el punto de partida para curar el cáncer. De todo esto […]

NEW: The NIH has begun terminating grants for active projects studying gender identity, DEI, environmental justice, climate change, among other topics.

At least 16 termination letters have already been sent — and hundreds more are coming, people inside NIH tell me.

Exclusive: NIH to terminate hundreds of active research grants
Studies that touch on LGBT+ health, gender identity and DEI in the biomedical workforce could be terminated, according to documents obtained by Nature.

Multi-cancer tests could signal to your GP if vague early-stage symptoms could be caused by cancer, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis when treatment is more likely to be successful.

Explore how these tests work and how they could support GPs to diagnose cancer earlier 👇

GPs see lots of people with cancer symptoms, but cancer cases can be like needles in the haystack. Multi-cancer tests might help find them.

Interesting article in Spanish regarding the increasing incidence of cancer in young adults. It's curious that we feel younger than the previous generations but we trend to prematurely suffer from old age-associated diseases.
