No More Needles: Leuko’s Revolutionary Device Could Save Lives of Cancer Patients
Leuko, founded by a research team at MIT, is giving doctors a noninvasive way to monitor cancer patients’ health during chemotherapy — no blood tests…
Oncology is the branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and research of cancer. It encompasses several modalities such as medical oncology (use of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other drugs), surgical oncology (surgical removal of tumors), and radiation oncology (use of radiation to target cancer cells). Oncologists not only work on treating cancer but also focus on cancer prevention, early detection, and palliative care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life for patients. With ongoing advances in research, oncology continues to evolve, offering new hope and options for cancer management and care.

Scientists identify treatment target that disrupts proteins’ interaction, offering hope for new therapeutic approach. Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research…
A groundbreaking study shows that mitochondrial DNA mutations are key indicators of a patient’s likelihood to respond to immunotherapy, revolutionizing cancer treatment approaches. Cancer Research…
Scientists have developed 3D mini-organs from human fetal brain tissue that self-organize in vitro. These lab-grown organoids open up a brand-new way of studying how…
A pioneering study reveals that Vd1-gd T cells can indicate a patient’s likelihood of responding to cancer immunotherapies, paving the way for more targeted and…
Salk researchers discovered that an anti-cancer therapy can prevent the activation of fibroblasts, cells that typically form protective barriers around pancreatic tumors. Pancreatic cancer is…
Researchers from the Princess Máxima Center and the Hubrecht Institute have developed advanced brain organoids that closely resemble the human cortex. These organoids, named Expanded…
Recent research shows that proteins’ intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are critical for chromatin regulation and gene expression. Mutations in these IDRs affect cellular functions, especially…
Global cancer cases in those under 50 surged by 79% over the past 30 years, with breast, windpipe, and prostate cancers leading the rise. The…
Researchers from Purdue University have developed a novel cancer treatment that deceives cancer cells into absorbing a snippet of RNA that naturally blocks cell division….
An MD Anderson study provides a deeper understanding of the progression of gastric cancer and highlights a potential therapeutic target. A recent study conducted by…
A study conducted four years ago suggested a potential link between a common type of fungus and the development of pancreatic cancer, providing a promising…
Wearable technology has uncovered the potential benefits of vigorous incidental activity. Promising new research suggests that a mere 4.5 minutes of intensive daily activity, that…
A recent study conducted at the Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center has demonstrated that a low-cost antibacterial treatment regimen can prevent acute radiation dermatitis. Acute radiation…
