Their findings suggest, for the first time, that only very tiny regions of a tumor need to stiffen for metastasis to take place. Though still in its infancy, the researchers believe that their technique may prove useful in detecting and mapping the progression of aggressive cancers.<br /><br /></p> Tue, 27 Oct 2020 13:44:02 +0000 webfull 164653 at /channels Quebec researchers among recipients of $34 million ‘Grand Challenge’ Grant from Cancer Research UK to combat cancer /channels/channels/news/quebec-researchers-among-recipients-34-million-grand-challenge-grant-cancer-research-uk-combat-293682 <p align="center"><b>ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and MUHC research teams part of an international effort to uncover how chronic inflammation causes cancer</b></p> <p> </p> Wed, 23 Jan 2019 18:17:56 +0000 webfull 145330 at /channels Goodman Cancer Research Gala raises record-breaking $3M /channels/channels/news/goodman-cancer-research-gala-raises-record-breaking-3m-287725 <p><strong><em>New network and chair launched to tackle lung cancer</em></strong></p> <p>Held on June 6, 2018, on ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University’s downtown campus under a big tent, the Goodman Cancer Research Gala this year brought together more than 800 guests and raised $3,002,906, setting a new record in its 10-year history in support of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Research Centre (GCRC).</p> Fri, 15 Jun 2018 19:04:32 +0000 webfull 138615 at /channels Legions of nanorobots target cancerous tumours with precision /channels/news/legions-nanorobots-target-cancerous-tumours-precision-262058 <p> Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:48:44 +0000 webfull 120341 at /channels
