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

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

Study: Aerobic exercise lowers risk of metastatic cancer
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The amount of glucose (sugar) consumed by internal organs rises during intense aerobic exercise, according to the researchers, which decreases the amount of energy available to the tumour. The study discovered how probability of cancer metastatic spread can be reduced by aerobic exercise.
