A 67-year-old London man with lung cancer has been the first to receive a new cancer vaccine as part of an international trial. The early-stage research will test the immune therapy’s safety and whether it can be used together with existing cancer trea… Continue reading First lung cancer vaccine given to patient in international trial
The protein anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) helps control cell growth. It’s made by the ALK gene, which can be rearranged by some cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), causing the cancer to grow and spread. One of the two main types o… Continue reading New lung cancer pill produces “unprecedented” results in human trial
Researchers have developed a chip that analyzes a patient’s blood for cells shed by a lung cancer tumor, enabling treating physicians to determine whether lung cancer treatment is working by as early as the fourth week. The information provided by the … Continue reading Chip checks blood to see if cancer treatment is working by fourth week
MIT scientists have developed an easier method for diagnosing lung cancer – breathe in some inhalable nanoparticle sensors, then pee on a stick.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, Lung cancer, MIT, Test, Diagnosis, Diagnostic device… Continue reading New lung cancer test: Inhale nanoparticles then pee on a stick
Researchers have published the results of a clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of an immunotherapy drug in treating a particularly aggressive form of lung cancer. Tarlatamab produced promising results, demonstrating antitumor activity and improving… Continue reading Immunotherapy drug proves promising for deadly small cell lung cancer
That a new cancer trial is about to start in the US is positive but not out of the ordinary, right? Except it is. This trial will be one of the first undertaken in a real-world clinical setting and represents a new model for future clinical trials.Cont… Continue reading Pragmatic approach may be the way forward for clinical trials
It’s well known that the engine room of cells, the mitochondria, have a key role in fueling cancer growth. Treatments have targeted these microscopic organelles in many ways, including by blocking their food source to inhibit energy production, knockin… Continue reading Insight into tumor cells’ organanization offers hope for new treatment
Extraordinary new research led by scientists from the Francis Crick Institute presents a new hypothesis as to how cancer develops. Inspired by a forgotten body of study from 75 years ago, the research looked at how air pollution drives the development … Continue reading Air pollution study upends basic ideas for how cancer develops
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of the deadliest forms of the disease, but now scientists may have a promising new avenue for treatment. By combining a new drug with an outdated one, the team found that they could halt growth of tumors in mice.Con… Continue reading Experimental drug combo halts growth of deadly lung cancer in mice
