Cancer care and screenings must remain a priority during COVID-19
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is committed to safely providing patient care and cancer screenings throughout the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Implementation of social distancing policies correlates with significant reduction in SARS-CoV-2 transmission
According to researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the implementation of social distancing policies corresponded with significant reductions in transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and reduced community mobility, both in the U.S. and globally, providing evidence that social distancing is a useful tool in preventing further spread of COVID-19.
MD Anderson and Sanofi announce strategic collaboration to accelerate oncology research and development
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Sanofi today announced a five-year strategic collaboration to accelerate the development of investigational treatments, including targeted and immune therapies, for patients with cancer.
Study shows sedentary behavior independently predicts cancer mortality
In the first study to look at objective measures of sedentary behavior and cancer mortality, researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center found that greater inactivity was independently associated with a higher risk of dying from cancer.
Combination biomarker predicts response to immune checkpoint therapy in patients with advanced bladder cancer
A combination of two biomarkers was predictive of improved clinical responses and prolonged survival following treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced bladder cancers.
MD Anderson and Philips collaborate to facilitate personalized oncology treatments and clinical trial matching based on genomic markers
MD Anderson and Philips today announced a collaboration to aid oncologists around the world to personalize therapy based on their patients’ genomic profiles, with the aim of improving patient care.

Absent p53, oral cancers recruit and reprogram nerves to fuel tumor growth
Loss of an important tumor-suppressing gene allows head and neck cancer to spin off signals to nearby nerves, changing their function and recruiting them to the tumor, where they fuel growth and cancer progress.
Study provides new understanding of mitochondria genome with potential for new avenues of treatment for multiple cancers
A study led by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center furthered understanding about mitochondria, the cell components known as the “powerhouse of the cell.” Knowing more about the genome is crucial given that mitochondria play important roles in tumorigenesis.
Acupuncture reduces radiation-induced dry mouth for cancer patients
Patients who had acupuncture during radiation reported less dry mouth symptoms up to 12 months after treatment
Researchers find protein promotes cancer, suppresses anti-tumor immunity
Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have found that a protein involved in immune response to microbes, TBK1, also can fuel cancer development and suppress immune response to the disease.
