Researchers have demonstrated an innovative approach for breast cancer treatment by making use of localised and non-invasive pulsed electromagnetic fields to reprogram immune cells, turning them from tumor helpers to cancer killers.
Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps cancer cells evade detection by the body’s immune system. The findings could potentially lead to the development of more effective cancer immunotherapies.
Researchers have discovered a molecular mechanism that regulates whether the cells of an aggressive colorectal cancer are conventional or inverted when they spread in the body. The discovery can help identify patients who have an elevated risk that the cancer metastasises to the abdominal cavity.
Researchers have developed a method to analyze blood samples with just 5 % cancer DNA, compared to the 15–20 % required today—opening the door to improved cancer care and tumor monitoring.
Okara, a by-product of soybean processing, as a source of bioactive peptides for a biodegradable, 3D-printable material with potential applications for devices for pain management during breastfeeding and following breast cancer surgery.
Cancer patients often face the added challenge of heart-related side effects, which can force discontinuation of anticancer therapy and reduce its effectiveness. Researchers recently presented findings on the protective effects of medical therapies recommended to treat heart failure.
A University of Rochester team has hit a key FDA milestone for “organs on a chip” technology that predicts dangerous side effects of cancer immunotherapies using real human cells, no animal models required.
A recent study has revealed that valvular heart disease is common in cancer patients and that interventions to treat this disease significantly improved survival.
Scientists have revealed that a highly sensitive blood test can now detect traces of pancreatic cancer that are missed by standard testing. The simple test can help identify patients whose disease is more likely to return even when scans appear reassuring.
