Deadliest Catch star Captain Wild Bill shares positive cancer update
Captain ‘Wild’ Bill Wichrowski, known for his role on Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, has provided an encouraging update on his battle with prostate cancer.
Immunotherapy reduces sunspots by 65% in cancer patients
University of Queensland researchers have discovered immunotherapy, when used to treat people with advanced cancers, also helps reduce sunspots and skin cancers by at least 65%.
100-year-old heart drug made from foxglove may help ‘dissolve’ clumps of spreading cancer cells
By breaking up clusters of cancer cells, an old heart drug called digoxin may help stop tumors from spreading to other organs, a small trial shows.
Innovative molecular therapies target and disrupt uncontrollable growth of cancer cells
wo new studies represent a big step toward developing innovative molecular therapies capable of disrupting the uncontrollable growth of cancers at their roots.
Acrivon Therapeutics gets FDA breakthrough device designation for its oncosignature assay for endometrial cancer
Acrivon Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ACRV) announced the U.S. FDA has granted Breakthrough Device designation for the ACR-368 OncoSignature assay, a multiplex immunofluorescence assay for the identification of endometrial cancer patients who may benefit from ACR-368 treatment.
AI could detect cancer in abdomen early, study finds
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an essential tool in medical imaging, helping radiologists analyze scans faster and more accurately. However, AI models need a massive amount of labeled data to work well, which means radiologists still spend a lot of time marking images manually.
Man given pioneering surgery for cancer treatment
A man who dismissed signs of cancer as a mark from his golf bag has become the first patient in the UK to have robotic microsurgery, the Royal Marsden Hospital has claimed.
How hungry fat cells could someday starve cancer to death
Liposuction and plastic surgery aren’t often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors of nutrition.
Disrupting the RBM42 protein could throw a wrench in the gears of cancer’s growth
For decades, scientists have tried to stop cancer by disabling the mutated proteins that are found in tumors. But many cancers manage to overcome this and continue growing. Now, UCSF scientists think they can throw a wrench into the fabrication of a key growth-related protein, MYC, that escalates wildly in 70% of all cancers. Unlike some other targets of cancer therapies, MYC can be dangerous simply due to its abundance.
Cancer Treatment Kills Tumors Using Sound And Water
In what medical experts are calling a potential game-changer, a new FDA-approved treatment uses highly-focused soundwaves to destroy cancer cells. This innovative approach, known as histotripsy, offers several advantages over traditional radiation and radiofrequency ablation treatments, providing hope for patients with limited options.
Rethinking metastatic brain cancer as a central nervous system disease
A Personal View published in The Lancet Oncology challenges the long-standing perception of metastatic brain cancer, calling to recognize it as a distinct central nervous system (CNS) disease rather than a mere extension of its primary tumor.
Metastatic cancers: Targeting a protein that fuels treatment-resistant tumors may be key to better outcomes
One of the biggest challenges in cancer treatment is addressing the ability of cancer cells to adapt and become resistant, reducing the effectiveness of therapies over time.
