Researchers uncover new pathway for molecular cancer drug therapies
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A fundamental challenge in drug development is the balance between optimizing a drug's lock-and-key fit with its target and the drug's ability to make its way across the cellular membrane and access that target.

For small kidney cancers, freezing better option than heat treatment
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
For patients with early-stage renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) that measure between 3 and 4 centimeters, a procedure that destroys the cancer by freezing - called cryoablation - yields a lower-risk of cancer-related death compared to heat-based thermal ablation, reports a preliminary study in T

Simultaneous radiation, immunotherapy beneficial for subset of lung cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In many cancer types, cancer cells try to survive by escaping attack from the immune system. These cancer cells hijack mechanisms called immune checkpoints to trick the immune system into thinking they are healthy cells. Recent advances in cancer treatment have focused on developing immune c

Appendiceal cancer gets its own preclinical model
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Appendiceal cancer (malignancies of the appendix, a small tissue pouch that is part of the gastrointestinal tract) is very rare, occurring in perhaps one or two people per 1 million per year. Prognoses are mixed, with a 5-year survival rate of 67 to 97 per cent for low-grade tumours detected

New discovery gives hope to fight metastatic cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Cancer that splits and develops in new organs around the body becomes significantly more difficult to fight. Now, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have shown that these metastatic cancers, that spread from the original, adapt their metabolism to the tissue in which t

Researchers develop promising new cancer therapy
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda and Opdivo work by unleashing the immune system's T cells to attack tumour cells. Their introduction a decade ago marked a major advance in cancer therapy, but only 10 per cent to 30 per cent of treated patients experience long-term improvement.

Injections for diabetes, cancer could become unnecessary soon
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Some medications for these illnesses dissolve in water, making it impossible to carry them through the intestines, which process food and drink. As a result, these medications can't be taken by mouth. But UCR researchers have developed a chemical "tag" that can be attached to these medicatio

Experimental cancer vaccine shows promise in animal trials
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
An experimental therapeutic cancer vaccine induced two distinct and desirable immune system responses that led to significant tumour regression in mice, report investigators.
