Over 1,000 survivors, families, and advocates turned a 1-mile zoo walk into a powerful statement of hope, crushing their fundraising goal. The event brought together a community that proves no one has to fight lung cancer alone.
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 common blood pressure medication combined with chemotherapy is safely treating children with aggressive bone cancer. Nine young patients have tolerated the treatment well, with early signs their immune systems are fighting back.
Ochsner Health is bringing cutting-edge cancer treatments to Louisiana communities through 450 active clinical trials. The Gulf South healthcare system just celebrated breakthroughs that give patients access to promising therapies without leaving home.
Luke Everett was five months old when doctors found a rare liver tumor, but an experimental trial saved both his life and his hearing. Today at 18, he's a regional gymnastics champion, university student, coach, and published author.
Columbia researchers discovered a gene that drives deadly prostate cancer and found an FDA-approved drug that could stop it. The breakthrough offers hope for men whose cancer stops responding to standard treatment.
St. David's South Austin became the first hospital globally to enroll a patient in a groundbreaking lymphoma treatment trial. The new therapy targets cancer cells in ways previous treatments couldn't reach, offering hope to patients who've run out of options.
Researchers discovered that cancer's favorite hiding trick might actually make tumors vulnerable to a different immune attack. The finding challenges decades of immunology rules and could reshape cancer treatment.
A free artificial intelligence system can now match rare cancer patients with potential treatments in minutes, offering new hope for thousands whose tumors have few dedicated clinical trials. The open-source tool worked for all 260 sarcoma patients tested.
A new pill targeting the KRAS mutation doubles survival time in pancreatic cancer patients, marking the biggest treatment breakthrough ever for one of the world's deadliest cancers. After 25 years of research and $17 million in funding, scientists are finally seeing progress on multiple fronts at once.
Google researchers built AI tools that discover new drug candidates and catch cancer cases doctors miss. The technology could put a virtual research lab in every scientist's pocket.
Scientists at UC San Diego discovered that catestatin, a naturally occurring peptide in our bodies, can slow melanoma growth and overcome drug resistance. This breakthrough could transform how doctors treat one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer.
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.
A breakthrough genomic test allowed two-thirds of breast cancer patients to safely skip chemotherapy while maintaining the same survival rates. Medical innovations presented at this year's ASCO meeting could transform how doctors treat multiple cancer types.
Researchers discovered how to supercharge immune cells used in cancer treatment by turning off a single gene, making them fight tumors longer and stronger. The breakthrough could help millions of patients whose cancers don't respond to current therapies.
Scientists are building AI that could detect cancer and other diseases decades before symptoms appear. The breakthrough combines cutting-edge algorithms with massive genomic databases to extend healthy human lifespan.
Five years cancer-free, 21-year-old Isabelle Ireland is speaking out about the critical need for pediatric cancer research funding. Her advocacy comes as Iowa lawmakers commit $3 million to help children fighting rare cancers like the one she beat.
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.
Popular weight-loss medications like Ozempic may dramatically slow the spread of certain cancers, according to groundbreaking research from Cleveland Clinic. The study found up to 50% lower progression rates for four major cancer types among patients taking these drugs.
Women with triple negative breast cancer now have a powerful new treatment option that nearly doubles the time before their disease progresses. The FDA just approved Datroway, giving hope to patients who previously had limited choices beyond traditional chemotherapy.
