Researchers at Tufts University have created a new mRNA vaccine for cancer that’s designed to carry its cargo to the lymph nodes rather than the liver. Tests in mice showed significant inhibition of the tumors, with the cancer disappearing completely i… Continue reading New mRNA cancer vaccine targets lymph nodes for stronger immune response

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, thanks to its ability to rapidly spread to other organs. Brazilian researchers have now developed a peptide that seems to slow the growth and spread of melanoma, improving the survival rates of test mice.C… Continue reading Promising peptide slows the spread and growth of melanoma in mice
A team of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology has demonstrated the effectiveness of a new kind of non-invasive skin cancer detection tool. Preliminary tests have found the technology to be 97 percent effective at detecting cancerous ti… Continue reading New imaging tech promises cheap, handheld skin cancer scanner
A new test has been developed to assess the likelihood of an early-stage melanoma either spreading or recurring. The test measures levels of several proteins in a tumor biopsy, helping doctors assess which patients require more frequent follow-ups afte… Continue reading New melanoma test predicts risk of skin cancer spreading
Artificial intelligence is starting to combine with smartphone technology in ways that could have profound impacts on the way we monitor health, from tracking blood volume changes in diabetics to detecting concussions by filming the eyes. Using the tec… Continue reading AI uses “ugly duckling” technique to spot melanoma with high accuracy
As part of our ever-expanding toolbox in the fight against cancer, scientists are investigating how altering the gut microbiome through fecal transplants can help swing things in our favor. Where this may prove extremely valuable is in patients who hav… Continue reading First-of-a-kind fecal transplants assist in treatment of melanomas
New research published in the journal Nature is outlining the long-term efficacy of a novel type of cancer vaccine. The research followed eight skin cancer patients and discovered the experimental treatment offers durable and persistent immune response… Continue reading Personalized skin cancer vaccine demonstrates long-term effectiveness
A new study has shown that an experimental class of cancer drugs has wider potential than previously thought. BET inhibitors are currently being tested against blood cancers, but now researchers have found a new version of this drug that, in mouse test… Continue reading Experimental cancer drug appears more effective, less toxic than others
A new nano-vaccine is showing promising results in treating skin cancer in mouse models. Developed by scientists at Tel Aviv University, the prospective vaccine encases two experimental new cancer drugs inside a tiny nanoparticle, with initia… Continue reading Scientists demonstrate a new nano-vaccine preventing the spread of melanoma
