Scientists created a heat-activated patch that killed 97% of melanoma lesions in mice without damaging healthy skin. The experimental treatment could one day replace invasive surgery for early-stage skin cancer.
A breakthrough therapy is giving advanced melanoma patients new hope by supercharging their own immune systems to fight cancer. One survivor has remained cancer-free for six years after treatment.
Researchers in Finland discovered how to potentially break the inflammatory cycle that helps aggressive skin cancer spread. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments that stop melanoma cells from communicating with immune cells that accidentally help tumors grow.
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.
UCLA researchers created a new zinc oxide shape that stops mineral sunscreen from leaving white streaks on skin. The four-armed nanoparticles prevent clumping and match more skin tones while keeping full UV protection.
Scientists solved sunscreen's biggest problem: the ghostly white look that keeps people from protecting their skin. A simple shape change makes zinc oxide invisible without losing sun protection.
A Florida hospital is enrolling patients in a groundbreaking international study that could dramatically improve survival rates for advanced skin cancer. The trial tests whether immunotherapy before surgery can stop one of America's most common cancers from coming back.
A cancer drug refined aboard the International Space Station just became the first injection that takes minutes instead of hours to deliver. The breakthrough shows how weightlessness can solve problems gravity creates on Earth.
A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine combined with immunotherapy reduced the risk of deadly skin cancer returning by nearly 50% over five years. The breakthrough treatment is now entering final-stage trials while researchers test similar vaccines for lung, bladder, and kidney cancers.
A personalized mRNA vaccine from Moderna and Merck has shown remarkable five-year results against aggressive skin cancer. The therapy nearly halves the risk of melanoma returning after surgery.
A Moderna immunotherapy for melanoma continues to protect patients years after treatment, new data shows. The results bring hope for a cancer vaccine that could change how we fight one of the deadliest skin cancers.
Researchers have developed a new sunscreen using lignin from wood that provides exceptional sun protection while lasting longer and being gentler on skin. This breakthrough could address growing safety concerns while offering better protection against skin cancer.
