A combination of internal radiation and chemotherapy dissolves tumors in 80% of mice across multiple models. Duke University biomedical engineers have demonstrated the most effective…
A Yale University study presents a new explanation for why immunotherapy only works for some cancer patients. Immunotherapy, a biotherapy that improves the immune system’s…
Cancer cells delete DNA when they go to the dark side, so a team of doctors and engineers targeted the ‘backup plans’ that run essential cell…
Researchers are working to determine the best way for anti-cancer drugs to get to the tumors they are supposed to treat. One option is to…
Immune checkpoints are a normal part of the immune system. Their function is to prevent an immune response from being so powerful that it destroys…
Clinical study on nasopharyngeal cancer with an unexpected result. Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer are often treated with drugs that activate their immune system against the…
Researchers from the University of Auckland have discovered that new combinations and formulations of older medicines are promising for the treatment of bowel cancer. According…
A multi-gene expression signature in tumors is associated with aggressive disease and poor patient outcomes, and it has the potential to become a genetic cancer…
The study provides key information about gliomas’ size and growth rate. An important new hint for preventing and treating brain tumors known as gliomas has…
A new cancer treatment system Photodynamic therapy, which uses photo-uncaging systems to activate a cancer-fighting agent in situ at the tumor, is one method of…
University of Missouri researchers made the discovery while using bioluminescent imaging technology to study how nicotinamide riboside supplements work inside the body. Commercial dietary supplements…
NIH scientists find that IV administration improves tumor-fighting action. An experimental therapeutic cancer vaccine induced two distinct and desirable immune system responses that led to…
A recent study found that the wear and tear of chronic stress can increase cancer mortality. According to Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University…
Preclinical study uses nanoparticles to attach immune-activating molecules to tumors, sensitizing them to immunotherapy. Scientists have developed a nanotechnology platform that can change the way…
The new, wearable device monitors tumor size. A compact, autonomous device with a stretchable and flexible sensor has been developed by Stanford University engineers to…
Scientists have identified new cancer treatment targets. In Switzerland, cancer is the second-leading cause of death. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the cancer form…
Using DNA barcodes to track cancer cells through time, scientists show that cells within a cancer have diverse abilities to escape immune system defenses. According…
The research improves our understanding of how cancer spreads. Scientists funded by Cancer Research UK have found that cancer cells ‘hijack’ a process used by healthy…
