Head injuries could be risk factor for developing brain cancer
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A very uncommon but frequently aggressive type of brain tumour called a glioma may be caused by damage, according to key molecular research from the UCL Cancer Centre. Although there may be a connection between head trauma and an increase in brain tumour incidence, the evidence is conflictin

Scientists make breakthrough for 'next generation' cancer treatment
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Scientists at the University of East Anglia are a step closer to creating a new generation of light-activated cancer treatments. The procedure, which sounds futuristic, would function by turning on embedded LED lights adjacent to a tumour, which would then activate biotherapeutic chemicals.

Researchers reveal why cancer patients do not react to immunotherapy
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Cancer treatment has transformed thanks to immunotherapy. The five-year survival rate for advanced melanoma, the deadliest type of skin cancer, has climbed from less than 10% to more than 50% since the development of immunotherapy in 2011. Sadly, immunotherapy only works on about half of mel

Researchers reveal therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cell
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Gene mutations are the cause of cancer. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes are the two main groups of these altered genes in cancer. Mutations in oncogenes can drive cell proliferation, pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, whereas mutations in tumour suppressor genes can cause tumour
