Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis report that while single abnormal cells can mechanically probe roughly 10 microns beyond what they directly touch, groups of epithelial cells can combine forces through collagen to sense features more than 100 microns away—an effect the researchers say could help explain how cancer cells navigate tissue.
A new poll reveals that nearly half of U.S. adults do not know processed meat is linked to higher colorectal cancer risk. Conducted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and Morning Consult, the survey of 2,202 adults from February 9 to 11, 2026, found strong support for warning labels after respondents learned of the connection. Experts highlight the need for better education amid rising cases in younger adults.

A Michigan mother has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for felony murder and child abuse after refusing medical treatment for her teenage son's treatable cancer, which led to his death. Elizabeth Dubois ignored her son Austin Raymond's pleas as his condition worsened over years. Lapeer County Circuit Court Judge Michael Nolan imposed the sentence on Monday.
Researchers tested a redesigned CD40 agonist antibody, 2141-V11, by injecting it directly into tumors of 12 patients with metastatic cancers. Six patients saw tumor shrinkage, with two achieving complete remission, including effects on untreated tumors elsewhere in the body. The trial reported only mild side effects, unlike prior CD40 therapies.

University of Missouri researchers report that a small antibody fragment targeting the EphA2 protein can be tagged with a radioactive marker to make EphA2-positive tumors stand out on PET scans in mouse experiments, a step they say could help match patients to EphA2-targeted therapies.
A new study has revealed over 200 metabolic enzymes attached directly to human DNA inside the cell nucleus, challenging traditional views of cellular processes. These enzymes form unique patterns in different tissues and cancers, described as a 'nuclear metabolic fingerprint.' The discovery suggests links between metabolism and gene regulation that may influence cancer development and treatment.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in Germany among both women and men. Over 22,000 people die from it annually, a figure that could decrease significantly with consistent preventive measures. The Schön-Klinik is hosting the 1st Neustädter Colorectal Cancer Forum on March 12 to promote awareness and early detection.
