UNC Lineberger researchers have demonstrated a faster, more cost-effective approach to analyzing the genetic makeup of pediatric acute leukemia. Determining a cancer’s genomic classification is critical to developing a more effective treatment plan tailored to a patient’s tumor.

The rise of colorectal cancer cases in people under 45 has steadily increased, prompting concern among oncologists and researchers. Ashwin Somasundaram, MD, talks about colorectal cancer and this concerning trend.

March is Multiple Myeloma Awareness Month, an opportunity to shed light on a disease that accounts for approximately 10% of all blood cancers. Treatment options for multiple myeloma have expanded in recent years, leading to better patient outcomes and longer survival rates.

The PRO-TECT randomized clinical trial was conducted to assess the real-world impact of electronic patient-reported outcomes symptom monitoring on clinical outcomes compared to usual care.

Previous research has shown this kind of intervention is effective in large, integrated health systems. However, its impact was unknown in federally qualified health centers and the patient populations they serve.

The annual UNC Lineberger Trainee Research Day provided graduate students and postdoctoral research associates with the opportunity to present their research to peers and cancer center faculty.
