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.
Scientists at Rutgers Cancer Institute created a breakthrough tool that can tell which bacteria truly live inside tumors and which are just contamination. This discovery could revolutionize cancer treatment by revealing why some therapies work better for certain patients.
Scientists turned cancer's silent escape into an immune system alarm using tiny carriers that force tumors to die loudly. In mice, the treatment reprogrammed melanoma to train the body to fight back.
A breakthrough gene therapy wiped out aggressive brain tumors in 83% of cases with a single dose and no side effects for nearly a year. The treatment also taught the immune system to prevent the cancer from returning.
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.
Scientists at UC San Diego created an AI model that reads a tumor's genetic code and predicts which treatments will work best. The breakthrough could help doctors match more cancer patients to effective therapies.
Scientists discovered how to beat triple-negative breast cancer at its own game by blocking an enzyme that helps tumors survive treatment. The approach not only damages cancer cells directly but also calls in the immune system for backup.
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.
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.
Scientists created a new nanomaterial that completely erased breast cancer tumors in mice without harming healthy tissue. The breakthrough treatment works by creating two types of cell-killing molecules that target cancer's unique chemistry.
Scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered a breakthrough approach that both kills aggressive breast cancer cells and activates the immune system to fight tumors. The two-part strategy could transform treatment for one of the hardest cancers to treat.
Scientists analyzed nearly 500 cat tumors and discovered they share the same dangerous genetic mutations found in human cancers, opening doors to better treatments for both species. The breakthrough could transform cancer care through shared medical research.
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 one of the deadliest forms of colorectal cancer are living more than twice as long thanks to a breakthrough treatment that just earned FDA Fast Track status. The therapy is showing remarkable results in cancers that resisted everything else doctors could throw at them.
A groundbreaking radiopharmaceutical therapy controlled disease in over 80% of patients with advanced cancers who had run out of other options. The treatment worked across 21 different cancer types, offering new hope where few alternatives existed.
Scientists cracked the code on why aggressive brain tumors strike only young children, opening doors to new treatments. The breakthrough reveals how cancer hijacks normal brain development in ways doctors can now target.
Researchers turned a common probiotic into a cancer-fighting machine that seeks out tumors and delivers treatment directly inside them. In mice, the engineered bacteria successfully infiltrated tumors and released powerful anticancer drugs right where they were needed most.
Scientists in China developed a treatment that shrinks bone cancer tumors by 94% while also relieving pain without opioids. The breakthrough therapy works by disrupting how cancer cells and nerves communicate, offering hope for better treatment with fewer side effects.
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.
A new cancer injection completely eliminated tumors in 15 patients who had run out of treatment options after their head and neck cancers returned. The five-minute jab also shrank tumors in more than a third of the 102 patients tested, offering new hope for thousands facing similar diagnoses each year.
