Anticancer Therapies – News and Features

Fighting relapsed/refractory lymphoma during pregnancy requires critical decision-making from patients and providers, yet prior to this study, no data existed to inform these choices.

In crisis, the nucleus calls antioxidant enzymes to the rescue. The nucleus being metabolically active is a profound paradigm shift with implications for cancer research.

Scientists have discovered a novel approach that improves the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor cancer treatment and minimizes the associated side effects.

A two-pronged stem cell therapy has been developed in a new study, which shows can suppress tumor growth and prolong survival in preclinical animal models.

Researchers have discovered a drug combination that could dramatically improve the life expectancy of children living with brain cancer.

An research team have been developing a personalized mRNA cancer-treatment vaccine approach. It is designed to help immune cells recognize specific neoantigens on patients’ pancreatic cancer cells.

Cancers often release molecules into the bloodstream that pathologically alter the liver, shifting it to an inflammatory state, causing fat buildup and impairing its normal detoxifying functions.

A study has shown how a mutation found in the majority of glioblastomas, an aggressive brain cancer, alters lipid metabolism and could open up new avenues for treatment.

Researchers have developed a method that can kill the aggressive brain tumor glioblastoma in animal models. By blocking certain functions in the cell with a docked molecule, the researchers caused cancer cells to die of stress.

Improvements in 6-month progression-free survival may warrant additional study in a larger trial.
