Researchers find combination of cancer inhibitors in slowing tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
In individuals with specific malignancies, including as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma, a combination of inhibitors has been shown to reduce tumour growth and prevent relapse. Their findings encourage the creation of novel therapy modalities that specifically t

Study finds how microRNA therapy slows cancer tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
The therapy, tested in mouse models, combines a delivery system that targets cancer cells with a specially modified version of microRNA-34a, a molecule that acts “like the brakes on a car,” slowing or stopping cell division, said Andrea Kasinski, lead author and the William and Patty Miller

Study sheds light on breast cancer survivors, medication
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Treatment for over 80 per cent of breast cancer survivors does not end with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Instead, doctors advise them to take medication to inhibit sex hormones, which can fuel tumour growth and cause recurrence, for the next five to ten years.

Study reveals how melanoma evade immune system, helps in treatments
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Sanford Burnham Prebys' recent study has contributed to the understanding of how melanoma circumvents the immune system and may help in the development of future treatments for the condition. A protein that is known to be active in immune cells is also active inside melanoma cells, the study

Eliminating extra chromosomes in cancer cells prevent tumor growth: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Cancer cells with extra chromosomes rely on those chromosomes for tumour growth, according to a new Yale study, and removing them inhibits the cells from becoming tumours. According to the researchers, the findings show that specifically targeting additional chromosomes may offer a novel app

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

Scientists find deadly brain cancer's hidden weakness
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Brain cancer is a difficult-to-treat disease. As it progresses, glioblastoma destroys a person's mental skills, yet the tumor's insidious ability to penetrate neighbouring networks in the brain might also prove its undoing.

Researchers reveal novel immunotherapy beneficial to children with relaps
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Children with recurrent brain tumours tolerated the first in-human trial of a novel immunotherapy well, and many were able to experience unexpected months of a more normal life, according to researchers. Immunotherapy disables a natural enzyme that tumours hijack for their defence.
