Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common and most lethal cancers worldwide. While established risk factors—diet, obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity—are well recognized, they do not fully explain tumor initiation and progression. Scientific attention has therefore increasingly turned to the intestinal microbiota,...

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer in women. In France, around 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, about one third of them at the locoregional stage. In these situations, treatment classically relies on surgery followed by radiotherapy targeting the breast or chest wall as well as the lymph node areas....

High-grade astrocytoma: combining two treatments opens a new therapeutic avenue
Neurosurgery
By Elodie Vaz | Published on March 9, 2026 | 3 min read
High-grade astrocytoma, which includes glioblastoma, is among the most aggressive brain tumors. Its rapid growth and strong tendency to recur after surgical resection make it a disease with a poor prognosis. In the event of recurrence, median survival is generally only four to five months.
