Melatonin night shift workers may gain a new tool against cancer risk: a first-of-its-kind trial found that 3 mg before ...

Advances in genomic testing are helping doctors identify which tumours truly need chemotherapy — and which patients may do ...

Many cancers can be treated by administering DNA-damaging agents, such as platinum-based chemotherapy, because the resulting DNA damage causes the cancer cells to die. A subset of cancers, however, ...
