Study reveals how ultrasound is promising technique for treating cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Ultrasound is a potential cancer treatment tool. Unlike laser light, which is employed in photodynamic cancer therapy, ultrasonic waves may penetrate deep into tissue (up to 12 cm) to treat deep tumours while causing no harm to healthy cells.

Do you know cancers in distant organs change liver function? Study finds
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers discovered that cancer frequently sends substances into the bloodstream that pathologically alter the liver, putting it in an inflammatory condition, causing fat to build up, and interfering with its regular detoxification functions.

Study reveals how cancers in distant organs change liver function
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine found that cancer often releases molecules into the bloodstream that pathologically modify the liver, sending it into an inflammatory state, causing fat accumulation, and disrupting its typical detoxification processes. This finding sheds light on one of

Circumventing renal toxicity associated with cisplatin treatment: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Cisplatin is commonly used as a chemotherapeutic drug in the treatment of many solid tumours, including bladder, ovarian, and esophageal tumours. However, when it is metabolised by an enzyme called "cysteine conjugate beta-lyase 1 (CCBL1)," it is transformed to "thiol-cisplatin," a highly ac
