Neuroblastoma is a #cancer in children that is sometimes benign, but can also be very aggressive. Researchers from #CharitéBerlin & @MDC_Berlin now show: Specific patterns of DNA alterations in #neuroblastoma cells reflect the different aggressiveness of this pediatric #tumor. The results could provide a starting point for a more targeted approach to treatment.

Liver bile duct #cancer and metastatic pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver used to be hard to tell apart.
Researchers from #CharitéBerlin have now developed an #AI-supported tool to improve diagnosis, helping to select the optimal treatment. It analyzes #methylation, a certain type of chemical changes in #tumor #DNA.

A new piece of the puzzle on how #neuroblastoma – a #cancer affecting children – develops: A #CharitéBerlin study shows that the #tumor forms RNA rings that contribute to the growth of cancer cells. In the future, RNA therapeutics could target these rings.
