Root cause of pancreatic cancer and new treatment
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. A specific type called pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, or PDAC, is especially aggressive. Right now, there are no truly effective treatments for this kind of cancer. Sadly, only about 8 out of every 100 people diagnosed with PDAC live longer than five years.
Scientists finds new treatment for lung cancer
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the most aggressive and deadly types of cancer, often linked to smoking.
Gentle electric pulses may help the body fight cancer better
Researchers at Virginia Tech have discovered that using low-intensity electric pulses on tumors might make them easier for the immune system to attack.
How a common diabetes drug may help the immune system fight cancer
Metformin is best known as a reliable and affordable medication for managing type 2 diabetes.
Scientists develop powerful blood test method to detect and track cancer
A new study has revealed a promising method that could one day allow doctors to detect and monitor cancer using only blood tests.
Scientists discover lung cancer weakness that could prevent relapse
Scientists have discovered a new weakness in lung cancer that could lead to better treatments and help prevent the disease from coming back.
Scientists create fast, scalable way to make cancer-fighting nanoparticles
MIT engineers have developed a faster, easier way to mass produce tiny drug-carrying particles that could help treat cancer more effectively, especially ovarian cancer.
Scientists find new structure in DNA repair protein that could help treat cancer
Scientists at the University of Iowa have made an exciting discovery that could lead to new cancer-fighting drugs.
Coffee-based therapy may treat ovarian cancer
Researchers from the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center have shared encouraging early results from a new clinical trial testing a unique coffee-based product as a possible maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer.
Healthy habits could help cancer survivors live longer, new study finds
Making healthy lifestyle choices can help cancer survivors live longer, according to new research from the American Cancer Society (ACS).
AI in colonoscopy can improve cancer detection
New research led by a Norwegian team has found that using artificial intelligence (AI) during colonoscopy screenings can slightly improve the detection of small growths called polyps. These are important to find because they can turn into cancer over time.
Study finds big cause of DNA changes that lead to cancer
A recent study from Yale University has brought scientists a step closer to understanding what causes cancer by revealing how much of a tumor’s growth is due to preventable factors, aging, or random chance.
