A South Korean biotech company has cracked a puzzle that stumped cancer researchers for more than a century, revealing why tumors resist treatment and opening the door to more effective therapies. The discovery could transform how we fight cancer worldwide.
Researchers discovered cancer tumors are "addicted" to glutathione, a common antioxidant they use as fuel. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments that starve tumors while protecting healthy cells.
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.
A five-year study from Shanghai Chest Hospital shows robot-assisted surgery increases esophageal cancer survival rates to 69.4%, compared to 56.2% with conventional methods. The breakthrough marks the first time robotic surgery has proven to significantly extend life in any solid tumor treatment.
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 discovered a mirror-image amino acid that dramatically slows cancer growth while leaving healthy cells untouched. The molecule could offer a surprisingly simple new weapon against aggressive tumors.
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.
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.
