Why do some tumours spread while others remain localised? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumour cells remain largely unknown — yet understanding this is crucial for optimising ...

Rare diseases can often be difficult to diagnose because their symptoms can overlap with a variety of conditions. One such disease is acute hepatic porphyria (AHP), a rare genetic disease with ...

Preparing cancer patients for difficult decisions is an oncologist's job. They don't always remember to do it, however. At the University of Pennsylvania Health System, doctors are nudged to talk ...
