Scientists at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital have tested a new cancer vaccine which kills as well as prevents brain cancer. The experts used a new cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumors and train the immune system to prevent cancer from recurring in the future.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have revisited the forgotten drug PIK-75 and have revealed that the drug could block two crucial cancer-causing pathways of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-All).

New findings published by a team led by researchers at Harvard Medical School offer insight into how certain cancers disarm the immune system so that tumor cells can grow and divide. The findings highlight the role of the immune system in certain types of cancers, and could inform the development of better treatments.

Researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a new type of treatment that is expected to provide a lasting treatment response against both the hepatitis B and D viruses which are major causes of liver cancer.

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a new cancer testing method which is low-cost as compared to the other testing methods available in the market today. This means that one can undertake these tests on a regular basis.

A new study in Cancer Causes and Control suggests a link between eating fish and skin cancer. However, Harvard Medical School warns that it’s too soon to make definitive conclusions about the relationship between fish in our diets and melanoma.

Researchers found that men who consumed high rates of ultra-processed foods were at higher risk for developing colorectal cancer than those who did not. They did not find the same association in women.

The enormous amount of data obtained by filming biological processes using a microscope has previously been an obstacle for analyses. Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers at the University of Gothenburg can now follow cell movement across time and space. The method could be very helpful for developing more effective cancer medications.

Researchers at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a deep learning algorithm which can identify lung cancer tumors on a computed tomography scan within seconds. This will help radiation oncologists to work quickly and achieve greater consistency in segmenting tumors.

Researchers are analyzing the role of a protein which is expected to prevent cell death. If the study proves successful, it can have a significant impact on the development of cancer therapy and also help researchers understand how the cell cycle is regulated.
