Dendritic cell vaccine strategy may improve breast cancer treatment outcomes
Moffitt Cancer Center researchers have discovered a promising new vaccine strategy for treating a specific type of breast cancer. The innovative approach targets human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive, estrogen receptor-negative (HER2-positive, ER-negative) breast cancer and has shown encouraging results in a recent pilot study.
Investigational ADC Shows Promise in Advanced Endometrial Cancer
More than a third of patients with B7-H4-expressing tumors responded to puxitatug samrotecan
New AI tool visualizes a cell’s ‘social network’ to help treat cancer
A first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI)-based neural network can rapidly analyze and interpret millions of cells from a patient sample, predicting molecular changes in the tissue.
Pembrolizumab-Olaparib Boosts PFS in Non-BRCA Ovarian Cancer
But phase III trial finds no overall survival benefit in PD-L1 subgroup or overall population
Telomir Pharmaceuticals Lead Drug Candidate Inhibits Tumor Growth In Aggressive Prostate Cancer Cells, Animal Study Shows
On Wednesday, Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. TELO+3.88% + Free Alertsrevealed preclinical findings demonstrating that Telomir-1 reduces tumor size by approximately 50% in a prostate cancer animal model with aggressive cancer cells.
Triggering Cancer Cells To Self-Destruct Could Help Tumors to Shrink
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming around 600,000 lives in 2022 alone. A diagnosis can be devastating, as the disease can often resist treatment and spreads uncontrollably.
Chinese scientists turn tumours into pork in radical cancer treatment
Scientists have turned the same immune response that rejects organ transplants to their advantage Ð to target cancer.
RNA molecule identified as possible driver of gastric cancer
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered molecules that present the potential to drive the development of gastric cancer—among the world’s deadliest forms of the disease.
Scientists find causes of major types of cancer
Many of the most common cancers in the United States are influenced by human choices.
Scientists find root cause of deadly ovarian cancer
Researchers have discovered the likely origin of a deadly form of ovarian cancer, offering new hope for early detection and better treatments.
This plant compound may help stop deadly brain cancer
Scientists at UCLA have discovered a potential new way to treat glioblastoma, the most aggressive type of brain cancer.
Chinese scientists turn tumours into ‘pork’ in radical cancer treatment
Scientists have turned the same immune response that rejects organ transplants to their advantage – to target cancer.
Cancer Vaccines Are Suddenly Looking Extremely Promising
With the help of mRNA technology proven effective during the COVID pandemic, researchers are now closer than ever to creating viable cancer vaccines.
Gold nanoparticles take cancer treatment to the next level with imaging tech
Imagine if doctors could see exactly where cancer medicine goes inside your body, how long it stays, and whether it reaches the tumor effectively.
Immunotherapy may boost KRAS-targeted therapy in pancreatic cancer
Adding immunotherapy to a new type of inhibitor that targets multiple forms of the cancer-causing gene mutation KRAS kept pancreatic cancer at bay in preclinical models for significantly longer than the same targeted therapy by itself, according to researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center.
Pittsburgh hospital using new cancer-fighting technology, machine 1 of 15 in entire country
The Elekta Unity MR-LINAC system, used at Allegheny General Hospital, combines MRI imaging with radiation therapy to target cancerous cells.
Innovative CT scan technique could improve prognosis and treatments for head and neck cancers
Cancers occurring in the mouth, nose, and throat are on the rise in the U.S., especially in younger people. About 60,000 new cases are diagnosed every year, with one in five cases occurring in people younger than 55, according to the American Cancer Society. A new study provides insights that may eventually help oncologists better predict how the disease will respond to certain therapies, leading to improved survival outcomes for patients.
