A breakthrough gene therapy wiped out aggressive brain tumors in 83% of cases with a single dose and no side effects for nearly a year. The treatment also taught the immune system to prevent the cancer from returning.
A new radiation therapy delivered during brain tumor surgery more than doubled survival time compared to standard treatment, eliminating weeks of waiting and uncertainty for patients. The breakthrough means cancer patients can receive radiation immediately instead of waiting up to a month after surgery.
Healthcare leaders in Dubai are working together to bring cutting-edge precision cancer treatments to patients faster, with a special focus on brain tumors during Grey May awareness month. The collaboration aims to make life-changing therapies accessible to everyone who needs them.
Multiple research teams discovered that aggressive lung cancer cells form actual connections with brain neurons, and drugs that block these connections slow tumor growth in mice. The breakthrough could lead to new treatment options for one of the deadliest cancers.
Andrew Satterlee survived brain cancer at 20, but doctors couldn't agree on which drugs to use. Now he's developed a platform that tests treatments on living tumor samples in just four days.
Scientists created a nanofiber mesh that delivers three cancer drugs directly to brain tumors, doubling survival time in mice with glioblastoma. The breakthrough offers hope for treating one of the deadliest cancers.
A groundbreaking vaccine targeting a common mutation in deadly brain tumors helped two-thirds of patients survive eight years in a clinical trial. The treatment trains the immune system to hunt down cancer cells carrying the genetic error found in most gliomas. ##
Scientists at Nova Southeastern University just received over $1 million to develop carbon dot therapy, a revolutionary noninvasive treatment that could transform how we fight some of the deadliest brain cancers. Early research shows this tiny particle approach may work better than chemotherapy alone while causing fewer side effects.
A new brain cancer treatment using radioactive wafers is proving superior to standard care, giving hope to thousands facing brain metastases. Stacy Dixon became cancer-free after participating in a groundbreaking clinical trial at MD Anderson.
Researchers at Brown University Health have discovered a molecule that could revolutionize treatment for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. The breakthrough explains why some tumor cells resist chemotherapy while others don't.
A startup just tested a brain implant that detects and treats cancer using gentle electrical signals in three people undergoing tumor surgery. The coin-sized device could one day help aggressive brain cancer patients live longer without the hassle of bulky external devices.
Chandler beat stage four brain cancer as a teen and just graduated college with a double major, thanks to free treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He's now applying to veterinary school, a future his family says wouldn't exist without the hospital's zero-cost care model.
Becca Valle was given months to live after a glioblastoma diagnosis, but a breakthrough ultrasound treatment helped her become part of a rare 10% who survive past five years. The experimental therapy could transform how doctors treat deadly brain cancers.
Blood cancer patients in Kansas can now access a one-time therapy that could replace lifelong chemotherapy cycles. The breakthrough CAR T-cell treatment genetically modifies patients' own immune cells to fight cancer.
A Manitoba man told he had three to six months to live has recovered to 90% health using a wearable cancer device. His dramatic turnaround is sparking hope for brain cancer patients across Canada.
Scientists at the University of Virginia have discovered a pill that stops glioblastoma, the deadliest brain cancer, from spreading in lab mice without harmful side effects. The breakthrough targets a gene that drives the cancer's aggressive spread through the brain.
Scientists discovered that tumors release a protein that actually clears Alzheimer's plaques from the brain, explaining why cancer survivors rarely develop dementia. This breakthrough could lead to treatments that reverse existing damage instead of just slowing it down.
Doctors are catching ovarian cancer earlier and keeping it away longer with personalized treatments and genetic testing. These advances are giving patients real hope where there was once only uncertainty.
A new study reveals how certain cancers release a protein that travels to the brain and helps clear harmful plaques linked to Alzheimer's disease. The discovery could lead to breakthrough treatments that reverse damage in patients who already have the disease.
Irene Morales went from emergency brain surgery to cancer-free in four years, and now she's running a 5K to inspire others. The Homestead artist is joining fellow survivors at the Dolphins Cancer Challenge to celebrate beating the odds.
