A $50,000 grant is helping Canadian researchers unlock why the deadliest brain cancer resists treatment that works for other cancers. The early-stage work could lead to the first effective immunotherapy for glioblastoma patients.
After nearly a century of research, immunotherapy treatments are curing some cancers without surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Patients like 71-year-old Maureen Sideris are seeing tumors disappear after just months of treatment.
The Cancer Research Institute launched a patient resource hub connecting cancer patients with immunotherapy information and clinical trials. The platform features survivor stories and treatment guidance for those exploring cutting-edge cancer care options.
After 12 years and multiple melanoma diagnoses, Joe Eastin faced his toughest challenge when the cancer spread to his bones. Cutting-edge immunotherapy shrank his tumor by 50% in just three months.
After four months of immunotherapy infusions, a 71-year-old woman's esophageal cancer vanished completely without surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Scientists say these breakthrough treatments are finally hitting their stride after nearly 100 years of development.
Japanese researchers discovered that widely prescribed statin drugs could help cancer immunotherapy work better by blocking tumors' ability to suppress the immune system. The breakthrough offers hope for millions since statins are already safe, affordable, and available worldwide.
Scientists discovered how cancer cells hide from cutting-edge immunotherapy and used an existing drug to make the treatment work again. Six patients whose immune cell therapy had stopped working saw their cancer respond once more.
A groundbreaking treatment just became available to thousands of European women whose ovarian cancer stopped responding to standard chemotherapy. The approval marks the first time an immunotherapy has been authorized in the EU for this hard-to-treat condition.
Scientists discovered how lung tumors hijack the body's immune safety system to protect themselves from treatment. The breakthrough could help immunotherapy work for thousands more cancer patients.
A young woman with advanced colorectal cancer is now cancer-free after receiving a groundbreaking dual immunotherapy treatment that took just four months. She even ran a 5K during treatment, avoiding the debilitating side effects of traditional chemotherapy.
A silver Lab named Clarice beat cancer using an experimental treatment that's now paving the way for new immunotherapy options for children. The trial combined surgery, radiation, and immune-boosting injections to save her leg and her life.
Millions suffering from severe hay fever now have access to a safe, highly effective treatment that most doctors don't know exists. Allergen immunotherapy can reduce symptoms by 70% in three years without the dangerous side effects of banned steroid injections.
Saudi Arabia just became the first country in the world to approve Anktiva, a groundbreaking immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer patients who've run out of options. The treatment gives new hope to patients whose disease has progressed despite standard therapies.
Researchers accidentally discovered a protein that appears only on cancer cells, not healthy tissue. This breakthrough could help doctors create more precise cancer treatments with fewer side effects.
Scientists discovered that making cancer cells physically stiffer dramatically improved CAR T-cell therapy results in mice with severe skin cancer. This breakthrough could help save more lives by making one of medicine's most promising cancer treatments even more effective.
Actor Sam Neill has no detectable cancer after switching to CAR T-cell therapy when traditional chemotherapy stopped working. The 78-year-old Jurassic Park star is calling his latest scan results "extraordinary."
Scientists at Mount Sinai discovered why immunotherapy works for some cancer patients but not others. The breakthrough could help doctors personalize treatment and spare patients from therapies unlikely to help them.
Scientists discovered why some bladder cancer patients don't respond to immunotherapy by linking common blood markers to immune suppression inside tumors. The breakthrough could help doctors identify resistant cases earlier and develop better combination treatments.
A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine combined with immunotherapy kept nearly 7 in 10 high-risk melanoma patients cancer-free five years later. The breakthrough cuts the risk of cancer returning or spreading by nearly half.
A common asthma medication could help hard-to-treat cancers like triple-negative breast cancer respond to immunotherapy. Scientists discovered the drug reverses immune cells that tumors hijack to resist treatment.
