Scientists at UT Southwestern developed an antibody that shrank resistant lung tumors in lab tests, opening hope for patients who run out of options. The treatment worked even against cancers that stopped responding to existing drugs.
Researchers discovered a way to make treatment-resistant cancer cells vulnerable again by breaking down their DNA repair machinery. The breakthrough could help millions of patients whose cancers stopped responding to existing therapies.
Researchers discovered how to flip pancreatic cancer cells from treatment-resistant back to treatable, opening new hope for one of the deadliest cancers. The breakthrough could transform how doctors fight tumors that stop responding to chemotherapy.
Researchers discovered that ovarian cancer cells activate survival mode within hours of treatment, but an existing lung cancer drug can block this response. The breakthrough could help thousands of women whose tumors stop responding to therapy.
Cambridge researchers discovered why lung and ovarian cancers return after chemotherapy and found a promising way to stop it. The breakthrough could help millions of patients facing cancer recurrence.
Mayo Clinic researchers discovered that brigatinib, a lung cancer drug, may help ovarian cancer patients overcome treatment resistance when combined with existing therapies. The breakthrough could transform care for women facing one of the deadliest cancers.
Researchers discovered that switching cancer treatments early, before tumors bounce back, could prevent drug resistance and save more lives. Three clinical trials are already testing this "kick it while it's down" approach.
Researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School discovered how to flip pancreatic cancer cells from treatment-resistant back to treatable by targeting the genetic pathway that shuts down a key protective gene. The breakthrough could help doctors make some of the deadliest tumors respond to chemotherapy again.
Scientists discovered a powerful one-two punch that stops breast cancer cells from escaping treatment, including the most aggressive types that resist current therapies. The breakthrough could soon help thousands of patients who run out of options.
Scientists at the University of Colorado have discovered how to eliminate cancer cells that survive initial treatment, potentially turning lung cancer into a curable disease. The breakthrough combines two therapies to attack cancer at its most vulnerable moment.
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.
Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University just cracked a puzzle that's stumped cancer researchers for years: why pancreatic cancer fights off immunotherapy. The discovery could finally give patients new treatment options.
Researchers at the University of Miami have discovered how to break down one of pancreatic cancer's strongest defenses, opening the door to a groundbreaking clinical trial. Their work earned a prestigious $800,000 grant and could transform treatment for one of medicine's deadliest cancers.
Researchers discovered why some lung cancer cells resist treatment and found a natural compound that could help. The breakthrough reveals a "bodyguard system" that protects cancer cells and a way to shut it down.
A promising new pill shrank tumors in nearly two-thirds of lung cancer patients and 40% of pancreatic cancer patients in early trials. The results exceeded expectations and could offer fresh hope for people facing these difficult diagnoses.
Ghana announced major funding initiatives to make breast cancer treatment more affordable and accessible for all citizens. The Ministry of Health brought together leaders to create practical solutions for reducing the crushing financial burden cancer patients face.
A Brighton breast cancer survivor is breaking the silence around cancer by sharing her story and encouraging open conversations. Her early detection and connection with other survivors shows the power of awareness and community support.
After surviving breast cancer, Prisca Githuka founded Pink Hearts Cancer Support Foundation to help others navigate their own cancer journeys. On World Cancer Day, she's sharing her story to prove that a cancer diagnosis doesn't have to be the end.
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.
Researchers discovered why lung cancer becomes drug-resistant and found a natural compound that shrinks tough tumors. The breakthrough could help millions of patients whose treatments stop working.
