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.
Scientists have cracked the code to transform natural killer cells into powerful cancer fighters that can penetrate and destroy solid tumors. The breakthrough could make effective cancer treatment available off the shelf to millions of patients.
Scientists created super-sensitive immune cells that completely eliminated kidney, ovarian, and pancreatic tumors in mice by detecting cancer cells previous treatments missed. The breakthrough could work against nearly two dozen different solid cancers.
China has approved the world's first CAR-T cell therapy designed to treat solid tumors, breaking through a barrier that has stumped cancer researchers for decades. The treatment offers new hope for thousands of advanced gastric cancer patients who have run out of options.
China just approved the first CAR T-cell therapy ever designed to treat solid tumors, offering new hope to advanced gastric cancer patients who've run out of options. This breakthrough could reshape how doctors treat stomach, pancreatic, and other difficult cancers.
Nine patients with aggressive cancers are responding to a groundbreaking cell therapy that works like an on-off switch, avoiding the exhaustion problem that has limited cancer treatments. The therapy showed zero serious side effects and actual tumor shrinkage in patients who had already tried four other treatments.
Scientists at Yale just solved one of cancer treatment's biggest puzzles: how to make immune cell therapy work against solid tumors, which make up most cancer cases. In mice, 100% of breast cancer tumors vanished completely.
A national trial found that an existing cancer pill may slow aggressive brain tumors in patients who had run out of options. Nearly 60% of patients saw their tumors stop growing for at least six months.
England approved its first new brain tumor treatment in 18 years, offering hope to 300 patients living in fear of their tumors growing. For Sally Penny, the pill has already given her a year without side effects and precious time with her children.
Patients in England with low-grade brain tumors can now access a groundbreaking pill that slows disease and cuts seizures by 64%. It's the first new brain tumor treatment approved in the UK in two decades.
Patients with low-grade brain tumors in England and Wales can now access vorasidenib, the first new adult brain tumor treatment approved in the UK in two decades. The drug helps patients delay harsh chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments while living longer without their disease progressing.
Researchers at USC have developed a breakthrough system that uses ultrasound to temporarily mark solid tumors, helping immune cells finally fight cancers they couldn't see before. The technology could transform treatment for brain, liver, lung, breast, and pancreatic cancers.
Canadian researchers have created bacteria that eat cancer from the inside out, using genetic engineering to solve a problem that stumped scientists for decades. The breakthrough could offer a highly targeted way to destroy solid tumors without harming healthy tissue.
A young man bleeding internally from a rare stomach tumor walked out of a Gurugram hospital just three days after emergency robotic surgery saved his life. Advanced technology turned what could have been fatal into a quick recovery story.
Scientists at the University of Waterloo are teaching bacteria to hunt down and devour cancer tumors in places chemotherapy struggles to reach. The specially modified microbes thrive in oxygen-free tumor cores, offering hope for a completely new approach to fighting cancer.
Revolutionary DNA profiling technology now diagnoses brain tumors with 95% accuracy, helping doctors personalize treatment for 90,000 Americans diagnosed annually. From molecular fingerprinting to new ways of crossing the brain's protective barrier, researchers are turning one of medicine's toughest challenges into a story of hope.
Scientists have developed a simple blood test that can detect deadly brain tumors with over 90% accuracy, potentially replacing invasive biopsies and enabling earlier diagnosis. The breakthrough could help GPs identify aggressive glioblastomas through a test as simple as a COVID rapid test.
Children with a rare brain cancer now have a new treatment option after European regulators approved Ojemda, a targeted therapy that works once a week. In trials, more than half of young patients saw their tumors shrink.
Brain tumor patients in Augusta, Georgia can now receive treatment without surgery, incisions, or even general anesthesia. The new Gamma Knife Esprit system is already helping patients heal faster with fewer side effects.
Researchers at Children's National have discovered that a rare brain tumor previously thought to be one disease is actually three distinct types, each requiring different treatment. This breakthrough could help doctors tailor therapies to save more young lives.
