13 results for "treatment breakthrough"
A new pill targeting the KRAS mutation doubles survival time in pancreatic cancer patients, marking the biggest treatment breakthrough ever for one of the world's deadliest cancers. After 25 years of research and $17 million in funding, scientists are finally seeing progress on multiple fronts at once.
A breakthrough treatment for aggressive endometrial cancer significantly extended survival in clinical trials, offering hope for patients who've run out of options. This marks the first time any drug of its kind has outperformed chemotherapy for this increasingly deadly cancer.
A new immunotherapy drug for aggressive stomach cancer just got the green light from the NHS, marking the first major treatment breakthrough in nearly ten years. About 1,500 people a year in the UK will now have access to a therapy that extends survival and reduces cancer recurrence.
A dangerous pregnancy condition that claims lives worldwide may finally have a treatment breakthrough. Early trials of blood filtering technology show hope for mothers facing pre-eclampsia.
A groundbreaking clinical trial shows that adding an antibody called NP137 to standard chemotherapy helped patients with advanced pancreatic cancer live significantly longer. The treatment worked by blocking a protein that makes tumors resistant to chemotherapy.
Scientists discovered a brain circuit that drives chronic pain independently from normal pain signals, opening the door to treatments that could help 60 million Americans without blocking protective pain responses. The breakthrough may finally separate relief from risk.
Groundbreaking conversations are changing how families support loved ones with schizophrenia, one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions. Advocates say simple connection—sharing meals, showing up, listening without judgment—makes all the difference.
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.
Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University created a molecule that shuts down a key enzyme cancer cells need to grow, causing tumors to shrink in mice with triple-negative breast cancer. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for one of the deadliest forms of breast cancer.
Scientists at the University of Oklahoma just received $1.7 million to study a protein that may finally explain why lupus develops and how to treat it without crushing the entire immune system. The research could lead to the first major lupus treatment breakthrough in 60 years.
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.
A massive global study spanning 185 countries reveals that over a third of cancer cases can be prevented through lifestyle changes. The findings arrive as scientists celebrate a "golden age" of cancer treatment breakthroughs.
Scientists have discovered an antibody that successfully halted triple-negative breast cancer in laboratory models, offering hope for one of the most difficult cancers to treat. This breakthrough could lead to better treatment options for thousands of women facing this aggressive disease.
