This work was led by Logan Walsh, Daniela Quail and Peter Siegel, researchers at the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute</i><i><u> </u></i><i>and Philippe Joubert from Université Laval. </i><i>The studies used innovative highly multiplexed imaging to create sophisticated immune atlases of lung and brain tumours and demonstrate how big data and artificial intelligence are the future of cancer research and clinical care.</i><br /></p> Thu, 02 Feb 2023 15:20:00 +0000 webfull 186967 at /channels /channels/channels/news/using-ai-predict-recurring-lung-cancer-345862 <p>Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Quebec and Canada, killing more individuals than prostate, colon and breast cancers combined. Thanks to tissue samples from almost 500 lung cancer patients, a group of researchers from Æ»¹ûÒùÔº and Université Laval were able to identify <a href="/medhealthsci/channels/news/mcgill-researchers-studies-offer-promise-lung-and-brain-cancer-treatment-345865">those who were likely to have a cancer recurrence and require further treatment post-surgery</a>.</p> Thu, 02 Feb 2023 15:04:56 +0000 webfull 186962 at /channels /channels/channels/news/exposure-wildfires-increases-risk-cancer-339499 <p>A new study from Æ»¹ûÒùÔº finds higher incidence of lung cancer and brain tumors in people exposed to wildfires. The study, which tracks over two million Canadians over a period of 20 years, is the first to examine how proximity to forest fires may influence cancer risk.</p> Tue, 10 May 2022 11:51:17 +0000 webfull 180063 at /channels /channels/channels/news/shared-genetic-marker-offers-new-promise-targeting-specific-ovarian-and-lung-cancers-293962 <p>Two new papers, published simultaneously in <i>Nature Communications</i> and led by researchers at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº, offer promise that a drug currently used to treat estrogen positive breast cancer may be effective in treating two different types of cancer, one rare and one common form.</p> Mon, 04 Feb 2019 15:52:24 +0000 webfull 145651 at /channels /channels/news/new-way-starve-lung-cancer-256202 <p>Preventing cancer cells from growing by understanding what they 'eat'.
