Ultrasound activates anti-cancer agent: Research
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Chemotherapy treatments produce strong side effects. A new agent that accumulates in the tumour tissue and is activated there by ultrasound waves does not have this problem.

Study finds biomarker can predict how kidney cancer patients respond to im
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
According to new research, a biomarker signature can predict how well kidney cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy before treatment even starts. This biomarker signature is made up of the number of immune cells in and around kidney tumours, the volume of dead cancer tissue, and mutat

Researchers develop upgraded tumor model to improve search for cancer ther
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Isolated from other cells in a laboratory dish, tumour cells won't reveal their actual nature. Rice University researchers created an improved tumour model that houses osteosarcoma cells alongside immune cells known as macrophages inside a three-dimensional framework designed to simulate bon

Study suggests how combination of drugs help to reduce lung tumors
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Personalization of cancer treatments has long been a goal--finding the right drugs that work for a patient's specific tumour based on specific genetic and molecular patterns. Many of these targeted therapies are highly effective, but they are not available for all cancers, including NSCLCs w

Study shows how T cells therapy in solid tumours can be improved
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have been working on a preclinical study that focuses on a novel strategy that uses a "one-two punch" to assist T cells in attacking solid tumours. The results, which were reported in the Proceedings of the Nati

Researchers reveal why some tumour cells become resistant to chemotherapy
Updated : 3 years ago IST
According to recent research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, cancer cells have an inbuilt randomness in their capacity to respond to chemotherapy, which is another weapon in their treatment resistance toolbox.
