Malignant cancer diagnosed in a dinosaur for the first time
(Royal Ontario Museum) A collaboration led by the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and McMaster University has led to the discovery and diagnosis of an aggressive malignant bone cancer -- an osteosarcoma -- for the first time ever in a dinosaur. No malignant cancers (tumours that can spread throughout the body and have severe health implications) have ever been documented in dinosaurs previously. The paper was published in The Lancet Oncology. (Source: EurekAlert! - Cancer)

MU advances chemotherapy-free treatment for cancer in animals and humans
(University of Missouri-Columbia) Osteosarcoma, a common bone cancer in dogs, affects more than 10,000 dogs in the US each year. While chemotherapy is generally effective at killing some of the cancer cells, the numerous side effects can be painful and often a subset of cancer cells exist that are resistant to chemotherapy.

Finding hints at novel target for Ewing sarcoma therapy
(University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio) A genetic code-reading machine that is overactive in the pediatric cancer Ewing sarcoma causes cell structures called nucleoli to break up, researchers found. A team at UT Health San Antonio's Greehey Children's Cancer Research Institute will study how to take advantage of this finding therapeutically. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)

NIH study provides genetic insights into osteosarcoma in children
(NIH/National Cancer Institute) A study by researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, offers new insight into genetic alterations associated with osteosarcoma, the most common cancerous bone tumor of children and adolescents. The researchers found that more people with osteosarcoma carry harmful, or likely harmful, variants in known cancer-susceptibility genes than people without osteosarcoma. This finding has implications for genetic testing of children with osteosarcoma, as well as their families. (Source: EurekAlert! - Cancer)
