It’s hard to overstate the incredible influence our gut microbiome has on our health. Now, researchers have found that certain metabolites from intestinal bacteria could boost the cancer-killing effect of immunotherapy.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical… Continue reading Microbiome metabolites may boost cancer immunotherapy effectiveness
Continuous advances in artificial intelligence promise to shake up medical care in all kinds of exciting ways, with the ability to rapidly scan medical images and spot signs of disease far more efficiently than humans can. Scientists in Australia have … Continue reading AI tool analyzes CT scans to spot prostate cancer in seconds
Researchers at Karolinska Institute in Sweden have made a breakthrough in the arms race that is cancer immunotherapy. The team has blocked a protein that silences an important tumor-suppressing protein, allowing the latter to get back to work.Continue … Continue reading Cancer immunotherapy breakthrough reactivates tumor suppressor protein
Cancer uses all kinds of cunning trickery to thrive in the human body, and scientists in Denmark have just uncovered a new one that tells a familiar but interesting tale of survival. The researchers have found that cancer cells use a technique seen in … Continue reading Injured cancer cells eat their own membranes to survive and spread
Building on a long-standing observation linking vitamin D deficiency to increased risk of colorectal cancer, a new study from University of California San Diego has found countries where people experience lower levels of UVB light often report higher r… Continue reading New evidence linking vitamin D deficiency to colorectal cancer risk
Immunotherapy is a promising avenue for cancer treatment, but it has trouble against solid tumors without triggering major side effects. Now, researchers at McMaster University have developed a new form of the treatment that supercharges a different ty… Continue reading New CAR-NK cell immunotherapy safely tackles breast cancers in lab tests
Newly announced results from a preliminary clinical trial testing a novel kind of brain cancer drug have revealed incredibly promising responses in a particular subset of patients. A larger Phase 2 trial is now underway targeting patients with a specif… Continue reading Personalized therapy for aggressive brain cancer shows promising results
While a brain tumor might reveal itself through symptoms such as irregular headaches, nausea or impaired speech, often these symptoms don’t appear until the disease is well advanced. This makes early diagnosis tricky, though doing so could lead to far … Continue reading Urine test detects brain tumors with high degree of accuracy
Difficult to detect and with a low survival rate, pancreatic cancer is one of the most insidious forms of the disease. But now, researchers have identified an existing drug that could be repurposed to fight pancreatic cancer by targeting a key gene mut… Continue reading Existing drug shows promise targeting common cancer mutation
