Researchers develop promising new cancer therapy
Updated : 3 years, 4 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.

Potential therapy discovered to reduce chemotherapy side effects: Study
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Scientists have identified a drug that could be a game-changer for patients. Istradefylline, which is already approved for Parkinson's disease, could reduce not only the harmful effects of cisplatin but also improve its anti-tumour properties.

Study: Aerobic exercise lowers risk of metastatic cancer
Updated : 3 years, 4 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.

Study finds level of copper in tumour cells
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Cancer cells require proteins that bind copper ions in order to develop and spread throughout the human body. Recent studies on the interactions between proteins and how they bind to metals in cancer-related proteins have revealed possible new therapeutic targets.
