Researchers at University of Chicago discovered why a mutation makes adult leukemia so resistant to treatment and identified a strategy that could extend survival by a year. The breakthrough could reshape how doctors treat one in 10 adult leukemia patients.
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering developed a groundbreaking CAR T cell therapy that targets leukemia while sparing healthy blood cells. The innovation came from studying patients whose cancer went into long-term remission.
Researchers at the University of Oslo have found a way to halt cancer stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia by targeting a molecule previously thought to worsen the disease. The breakthrough could lead to personalized treatments that stop cancer before it spreads.
A groundbreaking blood test can predict which leukemia patients are most likely to relapse after bone marrow transplants, helping doctors personalize treatment. The discovery could transform care for thousands battling this aggressive blood cancer.
Young leukemia patients are beating cancer at remarkable rates thanks to a groundbreaking Australian treatment that swaps harsh chemo for immune therapy. Nearly 9 in 10 patients remain cancer-free three years later.
Scientists at Emory University are developing a targeted treatment for childhood leukemia that could save young lives without the harsh side effects of traditional chemotherapy. The new approach attacks cancer cells precisely, sparing hair follicles, healthy tissues, and long-term quality of life.
A breakthrough combination therapy is giving aggressive leukemia patients new hope, nearly doubling remission rates and opening the door to life-saving transplants. The treatment developed in Germany could soon become the new standard of care.
A new targeted therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia achieved major molecular responses in nearly half of patients with advanced disease. The drug, ELVN-001, performed even better in patients treated earlier, offering fresh hope in the fight against this slow-growing blood cancer.
A husband-and-wife research team turned their midnight lab conversations at the University of Virginia into ziftomenib, a newly FDA-approved drug now saving lives of leukemia patients who had run out of options. Their 17-year journey from academic research to life-saving treatment shows how university labs can tackle diseases others overlook.
