U-M launches new app for breast cancer patients

Patients being treated for breast cancer at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center now have a new way to help manage the overload of information and reminders that comes with cancer diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

Cancer cells hijack glucose, alter immune cells

When cancer cells compete with immune cells for glucose, the cancer wins. As a result, the immune T cells are not healthy and don’t have the weapons to kill the cancer.

Immune Monitoring
