Immunotherapies combine for triple threat against deadly brain cancer

Immunotherapy is an arm of cancer treatment that seeks to supercharge the body’s immune system to kill off cells and tumors, and scientists are continually finding new ways to leverage our natural defenses against the disease. The latest breakthrough c… Continue reading Immunotherapies combine for triple threat against deadly brain cancer

Cancer-killing nanoparticles don disguises to sneak into the brain

Brain cancers are particularly insidious for many reasons, not least of which is that the brain’s own defense mechanism often prevents treatment. But a new experimental technique has shown success in mice, with carbon nanoparticles able to sneak throug… Continue reading Cancer-killing nanoparticles don disguises to sneak into the brain

Ebola virus gene helps hunt down deadly brain cancers

Glioblastomas are highly aggressive brain tumors that are notoriously difficult to treat, with the cancer cells often slipping away from the main growth and into the brain, leading to high rates of recurrence down the track. In search of more effective… Continue reading Ebola virus gene helps hunt down deadly brain cancers

A New Viral Therapy Eradicated The Most Untreatable Type of Breast Cancer in 90 Percent of Mice

Two major studies showed combing viruses with other types of therapies could be especially effective at treating immunotherapy resistant cancers in mice. Continue reading A New Viral Therapy Eradicated The Most Untreatable Type of Breast Cancer in 90 Percent of Mice
