Antioxidants stimulate blood flow in tumours: Research
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
A recent study from Karolinska Institutet published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation shows that vitamin C and other antioxidants cause the growth of new blood vessels in lung cancer tumours. The discovery supports the notion that antioxidant-rich dietary supplements can hasten cancer

Researchers shed light on why certain brain tumors don’t respond to immuno
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
A study performed by UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centre researchers gave new light on why tumours that have spread to the brain from other parts of the body react to immunotherapy whereas glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, does not.

Cancer-infecting virus ‘warms up’ cold tumors, boosts immunotherapy: Resea
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
According to recent research published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, equipping cancer-infecting viruses with tumor-inhibiting genetic cargo boosts the immune system and supports immunotherapy in reducing or totally eradicating aggressive tumours in mice. The findings pave the path

Study discovers improved survival for incurable brain tumours
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
For the first time, researchers discovered a potential drug candidate that improved outcomes for patients suffering from a type of childhood brain tumour that has no effective treatment. When compared to previous patients, the compound, called ONC201, nearly doubled survival for patients wit

How to deal with metastatic cancer
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
The body's lymph nodes serve as one of its first lines of defence against sickness. From these biological police stations, immune cells are sent out to repel invaders. However, the majority of metastatic tumours also start in lymph nodes.

Tumour growth can be prevented by eliminating extra chromosomes in cancer
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
According to a recent Yale study, cancer cells with extra chromosomes depend on those chromosomes for tumour growth, and eliminating them prevents the cells from developing into tumours. The researchers' findings suggest that a unique strategy for treating cancer may involve selectively targ

Study suggests removing excess chromosomes from cancer cells can prevent t
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A new Yale study found that cancer cells with extra chromosomes rely on those chromosomes for tumour formation, and eliminating them prevents the cells from developing tumours. The findings suggested the prospect of a revolutionary cancer therapy technique that selectively targets extra chro

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
