Scientists at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have found a way to fight one of the most common cancer-causing mutations. The new drug puts up an “eat me” marker that can help the immune system or other drugs find and kill the cancer.C… Continue reading Immunotherapy combo targets mutation found in up to 25% of all cancers
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

Scientists in Spain have uncovered a mechanism behind why some cancer patients don’t respond well to treatments – and more importantly, found a “weak spot” that could be targeted by existing drugs.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer,… Continue reading Scientists identify potential “weak spot” in drug-resistant cancers
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found that adding a booster protein can significantly improve the outcome of cancer immunotherapy. Tests in mice showed the protein produced 10,000 times more immune cells, with all mice surviving … Continue reading Immunotherapy booster produces 10,000 times more cancer-fighting cells
A massive study has analyzed the genomes of cancer cells from more than 12,000 patients, identifying 58 new mutational signatures that offer clues to novel causes of cancer. The landmark findings offer researchers a whole trove of new resources to guid… Continue reading Landmark DNA study finds 58 new mutations that cause cancer
A new study from the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the University of Oxford is reporting on an ongoing project that has been tracking the health of nearly one million women in the UK for more than 20 years. The findings indicate there… Continue reading No link between cell phone use and brain tumors, Oxford study finds
As our cells interact with neighboring cells or surrounding material known as the extracellular matrix, they are subjected to subtle mechanical stresses that can influence their behavior. Part of this includes heightened proliferation and tissue growth… Continue reading Manipulating “molecular Velcro” may stop tumors in their tracks
Impressive new preclinical work from a team at MIT has found a combination of three experimental immunotherapy drugs could help shrink, or even eliminate, pancreatic tumors. Each of the three drugs have demonstrated safety in early-stage human trials a… Continue reading Triple-combo of drugs targeting pancreatic cancer looks to human trials
Radiation therapy is currently one of the best treatments we have against cancer, but it could benefit from being more targeted to spare healthy cells. Now, researchers in Japan have developed nanoparticles that can penetrate tumors and kill them from … Continue reading Novel nanoparticles react to radiotherapy to kill cancer from within
