Research from the University of Michigan Department of Neurosurgery and Rogel Cancer Center shows promising early results that a therapy combining cell-killing and immune-stimulating drugs are safe and effective in extending survival for patients with gliomas, a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.

A potential drug candidate called ONC201 nearly doubled survival for patients with diffuse midline glioma and DIPG.

A study from the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center uncovers a new mechanism to explain why some prostate tumors switch from a common, treatable form to a more rare and aggressive form of prostate cancer.

A study from clinicians and researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center reveals findings from over 800 clinical assays performed for kidney patients with MiTF family gene mutations.

The Pap test, developed over a century ago, has been the standard of care for detecting cervical cancer. But it is collected through an invasive and uncomfortable vaginal exam. Michigan Medicine researchers have evaluated several at-home tests to detect HPV, a virus that causes cervical cancer. The at-home tests are more accurate than a Pap test and could make screenings more accessible for many people.

Researchers at the University of Michigan are now delving into the molecular-level details of sperm formation, with a particular focus on how abnormalities in this process might lead to male-factor infertility.

Physicians, nurse practitioners, social workers, spiritual care professionals, clinical pharmacists and other specialized providers all work together to create a unified palliative care team at Michigan Medicine.

After decades of falling global maternal mortality rates, has the momentum evaporated? A new WHO report suggests just that, and Michigan Medicine researchers are urging their peers not to take their collective eye off the ball.

Research, led by Michigan Medicine and the University of Michigan, suggests that glioblastoma cells are poised near a “critical point” of order and disorder — meaning, the cells possess some form of large-scale coordination throughout the whole tumor that allows them to respond in practical unison to attempts to kill tumor cells, such as chemotherapy or radiation.
