Two Detroit sisters who both survived breast cancer are leading rival teams in a million-meter rowing challenge to raise $100,000 for a free fitness program helping cancer patients rebuild their strength. Over 80 teams will compete Saturday at CrossFit in the D to expand a program that's already changing lives across Metro Detroit.
Scientists have discovered an antibody that successfully halted triple-negative breast cancer in laboratory models, offering hope for one of the most difficult cancers to treat. This breakthrough could lead to better treatment options for thousands of women facing this aggressive disease.
Scientists created a peptide that acts like a GPS tracker for metastatic breast cancer cells, successfully targeting and destroying them in mice without harming healthy tissue. The discovery could transform treatment for aggressive cancers that have spread beyond their original location.
After 25 years at NBC News, Kristen Dahlgren left her dream job to solve a problem she discovered during her own breast cancer treatment: life-saving vaccine research wasn't reaching patients fast enough. Now she's partnering with one of America's top cancer research institutes to change that.

For the first time in history, cervical cancer deaths fell to zero among women aged 20-24 in England. The breakthrough proves we can actually prevent cancer through vaccination.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins developed a vaccine that may prevent pancreatic cancer before it starts, triggering lasting immune responses in 90% of high-risk patients. None of the 20 participants developed cancer during the study, and some saw their precancerous cysts shrink or disappear.
Scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that combining two different cancer-fighting drugs can overcome treatment resistance in breast cancer, offering hope for patients whose tumors no longer respond to standard therapies. The breakthrough works across multiple types of breast cancer, including the most aggressive forms.
