- Cryosurgery to Treat Cancer - NCI - National Cancer InstituteCryosurgery is a local treatment that uses extreme cold produced by liquid nitrogen or argon gas to destroy cancer cells and abnormal tissue. Learn how cryosurgery works, about the types of cancer and precancers it is used to treat, and the benefits and drawbacks of cryosurgery.
- Antibody Removes Abnormal Proteins from Cancer CellsAccording to a new study, scientists have designed antibodies that can barge into cancer cells and drag abnormal proteins out, ultimately slowing tumor growth in mice. The approach is a novel way of targeting cancer-fueling proteins that are buried inside cancer cells, several experts said. Most antibodies can’t get inside cells.
- The Genetics of Cancer - NCI - National Cancer InstituteTwo cancer cells in the same tumor can have different DNA changes. In addition, every person with cancer has a unique combination of DNA changes in their cancer. For more information on the biological changes that make cells cancerous, see What is Cancer?
- Mutant RAS can shift other proteins’ positions inside cancer cellsAberrant RAS proteins, found in 20% to 30% of cancers, are best known for relaying cancer-promoting signals from cells’ outer membranes.
