Researchers at Mount Sinai discovered a hidden pocket in a cancer protein that could lead to safer, more precise cancer drugs. The breakthrough reveals both AI's power and its limits in drug discovery.
Mount Sinai researchers discovered that focused radiation helps CAR-T therapy work better against tough-to-treat solid tumors like lung cancer and melanoma. The breakthrough could make this life-saving treatment safer and more effective for thousands of cancer patients.
Cancer patients considering clinical trials at Mount Sinai can now connect one-on-one with trained mentors who've walked the same path. The new PATHS program pairs patients with survivors and caregivers who understand their fears and questions firsthand.
Mount Sinai researchers made old blood stem cells behave like young ones again by repairing tiny cellular recycling centers, boosting their regenerative power eightfold. This discovery could lead to treatments that help elderly people maintain healthier immune systems and reduce risks of blood disorders.
Cancer patients at Mount Sinai can now connect one-on-one with trained mentors who've walked the same path, making treatment decisions feel less isolating. The new PATHS program especially helps patients understand clinical trials through personal experience, not just medical jargon.
Mount Sinai researchers have discovered a breakthrough immunotherapy combination that achieved complete tumor elimination in colorectal cancer models. The treatment restores communication between immune cells, offering hope for patients who don't respond to current therapies.
Doctors in New York just became the first in the world to use a newly approved liver cancer treatment that lets them schedule patients on more days of the week. The breakthrough could mean shorter wait times and better access for cancer patients when every day counts.
A groundbreaking Mount Sinai study shows that lung cancer surgery is just as safe for patients 80 and older as it is for younger adults. This finding could transform treatment options for thousands of elderly cancer patients previously considered too frail for surgery.
Scientists discovered why some bladder cancer patients don't respond to immunotherapy by linking common blood markers to immune suppression inside tumors. The breakthrough could help doctors identify resistant cases earlier and develop better combination treatments.
Scientists at Mount Sinai discovered why immunotherapy works for some cancer patients but not others. The breakthrough could help doctors personalize treatment and spare patients from therapies unlikely to help them.
Researchers at Mount Sinai just published the first practical guide helping radiation doctors identify and protect female sexual organs during pelvic cancer treatment. This groundbreaking study addresses a gap in care that's left women's sexual health largely invisible in cancer treatment planning.
Researchers at Mount Sinai created a therapy that doesn't attack cancer cells directly. Instead, it flips the immune cells protecting tumors, transforming defenders into destroyers.
After decades of limited success, cancer vaccines are finally delivering real results thanks to breakthrough genetic technologies that customize treatment to each patient's unique tumor. When combined with other therapies, these personalized vaccines are showing promise across multiple cancer types.
Scientists are testing whether high-intensity workouts combined with anti-inflammatory medications could help people stay healthy longer. The groundbreaking study enrolls adults 65 to 80 in a program designed to fight the chronic inflammation that fuels age-related disease.
