UNC Lineberger's Carrie Lee, MD, MPH, shares how patients and their loved ones can prepare for their first appointment with an oncologist.

Many benign conditions can mimic the symptoms of cancer. But only your doctor can tell you for sure what’s going on—diagnosing yourself on the internet won’t help.

UNC Lineberger researchers made the stunning discovery that telomeres contain genetic information to produce two small proteins, one of which they found is elevated in some human cancer cells.

What started as a shared passion for science grew into love for UNC Lineberger virologists Blossom Damania, PhD, and Dirk Dittmer, PhD, whose bond is continually strengthened through their commitment to research.

The White House Chief Science and Technology Advisor Arati Prabhakar, MS, PhD, visited Chapel Hill to discuss the fight against cancer at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Blossom Damania, PhD, is co-director of the UNC Lineberger Global Oncology Program and the UNC Lineberger Virology Program.

A study led by researchers in the lab of Blossom Damania, PhD, shows how Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and Epstein-Barr virus evade innate immune detection to spread undeterred.

To honor the life of Craig Murray, his wife and daughter created an ocular melanoma research fund at UNC Lineberger that bears his name.

The grant supports Chad Pecot, MD, and his research into the mechanistic and therapeutic implications of co-targeting two genes linked to lung cancer.

Carla Chibwesha, MD, MSc, will collaborate with investigators in a multi-institutional project to develop trials to be conducted at clinical sites in Kenya, Uganda and Botswana.
