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.
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.
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.
New Nanosystem Offers Precision Targeting and Therapy for Tongue Cancer
Researchers have developed a new nanosystem that provides precision targeting and therapy for tongue cancer, potentially improving treatment outcomes.
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.
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.

Accelerating Cancer Treatment with Precision Medicine & NGS
Asia accounts for nearly half of global cancer cases, making it a major health concern. Recognising the promise of precision oncology, governments across the region have initiated efforts to drive advancements in this space. Let’s take a closer look at the progress being made in precision oncology in the Asia Pacific region.
AI Tailors Cancer Treatment to Individual Patients
A novel AI tool from BIFOLD and partner institutions deciphers complex cancer interrelationships, enhancing personalized medicine and clinical decision-making.
Royal Surrey staff celebrate radiotherapy treatment for 500th rectal cancer patient
The Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust celebrates a milestone, having successfully treated its 500th rectal cancer patient with radiotherapy.
