Scientists at Oregon State University created a tiny iron-based material that completely wiped out breast cancer in mice without any side effects. The treatment uses cancer's own chemistry against itself, unleashing two powerful reactions that destroy tumors while leaving healthy tissue untouched.
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.
A groundbreaking immunotherapy drug halted or shrank tumors in nearly half of men with advanced prostate cancer who had run out of treatment options. The therapy works differently than previous treatments and caused only mild side effects in 88% of patients.
Researchers have discovered how to trick treatment-resistant prostate cancer into exposing itself to immune attack. The breakthrough could transform how doctors fight back when tumors stop responding to radiation.
Jake Scheid lost his sight to childhood cancer, but now the 20-year-old LSU student is shaving his head annually to fund research that could spare other kids his journey. His path from South Side Chicago football player to independent college student shows how resilience creates purpose.
Researchers at MetroHealth discovered why a bone marrow cancer often resists treatment and found two existing drugs that could overcome it. The breakthrough could help patients with myelofibrosis when their standard medications stop working.
Researchers in Japan discovered a promising treatment for synovial sarcoma, an aggressive cancer affecting teenagers and young adults. The new approach starves cancer cells by blocking their nutrient supply without harming healthy tissue.
Scientists at Yale just solved one of cancer treatment's biggest puzzles: how to make immune cell therapy work against solid tumors, which make up most cancer cases. In mice, 100% of breast cancer tumors vanished completely.
The American Cancer Society's Game Changer Gala takes place this Saturday in Las Vegas, bringing together survivors and supporters to fund critical cancer research. Colon cancer survivor Tori Lyons will share her story at the event.
A groundbreaking study of over 3,000 breast cancer patients reveals that staying active during chemotherapy significantly improves how women feel physically, emotionally, and mentally. The best part? Any type of movement helps, from walking to strength training.
Texas A&M researchers discovered that natural compounds in dark sweet cherries significantly slowed tumor growth and reduced cancer spread in the most aggressive form of breast cancer. The breakthrough offers new hope for treating triple-negative breast cancer, which has limited treatment options.
Revolutionary 3D body scanners photographed nearly 10,000 Australians and detected 500 potentially fatal melanomas before they became deadly. The breakthrough technology could change how the world fights the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have engineered bacteria that naturally thrive without oxygen to invade and consume cancer tumors from their oxygen-starved cores. The breakthrough includes a safety switch that only activates the bacteria's survival mechanism when enough have gathered inside the tumor, preventing them from spreading to healthy tissue.
Researchers at UT Southwestern discovered how two lipids work with a crucial protein to activate the immune system, opening new paths to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases. The breakthrough explains a long-standing mystery about how our bodies fight threats.
Canadian researchers have created bacteria that eat cancer from the inside out, using genetic engineering to solve a problem that stumped scientists for decades. The breakthrough could offer a highly targeted way to destroy solid tumors without harming healthy tissue.
Northwestern University researchers developed a breakthrough therapy that grabs "undruggable" cancer proteins and drags them to the cell's trash system for destruction. The approach worked against MYC and KRAS, two proteins that drive many aggressive cancers and resist most treatments.
Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers developed an AI system that reviews medical safety incidents 29 times faster than humans while matching expert accuracy 88% of the time. The breakthrough helps hospitals learn from mistakes faster and protect more patients.
Researchers have discovered how to turn cancer's greatest survival skill against itself. When tumors evolve to resist radiation, they unknowingly become vulnerable to immune attack.
Researchers at the University of Southampton engineered a new four-pronged antibody that supercharges the immune system's ability to destroy cancer cells. The breakthrough could help millions of patients whose cancers don't respond to current treatments.
A major study of 17,000 cancer survivors reveals that staying active after diagnosis dramatically reduces mortality risk, even for people who never exercised before. The best part? You don't need to become a gym fanatic to see life-saving benefits.
