The best way to predict the future may be to understand the past. Researchers with the Utah Population Database (UPDB) want people to be aware of their genetic history in...
The Mountain West region is well known for its natural beauty and its plethora of outdoor attractions and activities. With that time spent in the sun, the risk of melanoma...
Researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute are developing breast cancer models using tumors donated by patients to narrow the number of drugs that might be effective in each tumor based on...
Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah is one of the select sites in the United States to offer a new clinical trial for glioblastoma patients, called GBM AGILE...
The ColoCare Study, a major international study of colorectal cancer, has received a five-year renewal and $10 million to fund colorectal cancer treatment innovations. This next phase of the project...
A study published results that in the United States, adults in rural areas were more likely to think fatalistically about cancer and feel overwhelmed by information about cancer prevention than...
December 23, 2021, marks the 50th anniversary of the signing of the National Cancer Act. From Huntsman Cancer Institute’s founding, to its growth into a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer...
Detection of skin cancer relies on visual examination, making it hard to reliably determine the skin cancer subtype and its extent of invasion into the skin. Researchers at Huntsman Cancer...
A unique collection of tissue samples donated by people with chronic myeloid leukemia was the driving force behind the discovery of a potentially major new treatment approach for drug-resistant leukemia...
