It's myth-bust Monday. Myth: Dairy foods like milk can cause cancer. Truth: Research shows that dairy foods such as milk, yogurt and cheese may actually help lower the risk of certain cancers, such as colorectal. It's likely due to calcium and protein. bit.ly/3J1Vpwm

A new study, led by Dr. Nadia Laack, shows that treating every site of metastatic Ewing sarcoma with local therapy — including stereotactic body radiation therapy— was associated with the highest event-free survival yet reported in cooperative-group trials. #ASTRO26

Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. Its complexity means there is no single specialist who can address every aspect of a patient's care.
At Mayo Clinic, a team-based approach helps ensure patients benefit from multidisciplinary expertise while receiving care that's personalized to their unique needs and goals.

After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structures of protein kinase C beta (PKCβ), a key protein linked to cancer and neurological diseases.
The findings, published in Nature Communications, provide the first detailed view of how the protein works and how the breast cancer drug endoxifen can target this protein.

Not all brain tumors are the same. There are more than 120 distinct types, classified by the cells involved. Treatment depends on multiple factors, including whether the tumor is cancerous, its type, size, grade and location. #BTAM
