A new Australian study has provided further insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer. More importantly, the research identified an exploitable Achilles’ heel that may lead to the development of a more effective, targeted treatmen… Continue reading New breast cancer study uncovers potential new target for treatment
Harnessing the immune system to fight cancer is an ever-evolving area of medical science, but among the most stubborn and least responsive to immunology therapies is metastatic breast cancer.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Breast cancer… Continue reading Dual attack supercharges cells to eliminate metastatic breast cancer
Researchers at UCLA have developed a small sponge that can be implanted next to a tumor to help the body fight it. In tests in mice, the devices induced remission, prevented growth and spread of cancers, and increased survival times.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Implantable “sponge” fights off cancer in striking mouse study
By using machine learning and cutting-edge microscopes, scientists have uncovered what they believe to be a new form of communication between cancer cells. Described as a “type of electrical language,” the discovery may be key to the way cells within t… Continue reading “Electrical language” of cancer cells may spill secrets of tumor growth
A new paper in the journal JAMA Oncology has reported the results of a decade-long Phase 1 human trial testing an experimental breast cancer vaccine. The novel treatment was found to be “very safe” and a larger Phase 2 trial is now underway testing eff… Continue reading Experimental breast cancer vaccine passes first human trials
Microbubbles and ultrasound might seem like an odd couple, but recently we’ve seen these two forces combine to great effect in the world of medicine. A newly developed treatment makes use of these tools to deliver immunotherapy drugs with great potency… Continue reading Bursting bubbles create cell openings for potent delivery of cancer drugs
As we move into the third year of the global pandemic researchers are beginning to see broader impacts on public health beyond acute cases of COVID-19. New research is warning of increases in cancer deaths over the coming years as pandemic-related dela… Continue reading Pandemic delays in healthcare predicted to drive rise in cancer deaths
New research led by scientists from the University of Cambridge has provided strong evidence that mutations in two key genes known to heighten breast cancer risk can also be linked with increased risk of developing prostate, pancreatic and stomach canc… Continue reading Breast cancer risk genes linked to prostate, pancreatic and stomach cancer
After two decades of preclinical research the first phase of human trials are set to begin testing a unique preventative breast cancer vaccine that is designed to target a protein commonly expressed by triple-negative breast cancers.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading First-of-its-kind preventative breast cancer vaccine begins human trials
The modern microscope is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to detecting disease, but typically the biological material being studied needs to be stained or dyed to reveal its secrets. This can alter the properties of the sample and lead to misd… Continue reading Smart microscope slide makes cancer cells pop like “color TV”
