With a lifelong interest in cancer spurred by her father’s passing due to mesothelioma, Dr. Sita Kugel of Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research seeks answers to the underlying causes of cancer. Through her research on pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma (a type of bile duct cancer), she aims to design and implement patient-specific cancer treatments to target pre-existing cancer vulnerabilities. https://go.nih.gov/KXoOp0Q

Caring for someone with cancer is hard. Caring for a loved one with a rare cancer can be even harder. Information about rare cancers may be harder to find. You may feel lost or alone. But, there are many sources of support to help families cope and handle the stress of having a rare cancer. https://go.nih.gov/RNm3OOr

Some women who receive a false-positive result on a mammogram may not come back for routine breast cancer screening in the future, a new study finds. Better doctor–patient communication about the screening process is needed, researchers said. https://go.nih.gov/ukEimuy

In a recent study involving nearly 1,000 people, a liquid biopsy accurately detected early- and late-stage pancreatic cancer. When paired with a test for the protein CA19-9, the combination accurately identified 97% of people with early-stage disease. https://go.nih.gov/NPLKSwT Media Description: Exosomes from each organ are stamped with a unique mark, like a ZIP code, allowing researchers to zero in on exosomes made by the pancreas. Then by looking at microRNA inside those exosomes, researchers can tell if there's cancer in the pancreas. Credit: Created by Nadia Jaber with Biorender.com
