Tumour growth can be prevented by removing excess chromosomes from cancer
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
According to a recent Yale study, cancer cells with additional chromosomes rely on those chromosomes for tumour formation, and removing them stops the cells from growing tumours. The results, according to the researchers, point to the possibility of a novel cancer treatment strategy that spe

Study reveals how ultrasound is promising technique for treating cancer
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Ultrasound is a potential cancer treatment tool. Unlike laser light, which is employed in photodynamic cancer therapy, ultrasonic waves may penetrate deep into tissue (up to 12 cm) to treat deep tumours while causing no harm to healthy cells.

Circumventing renal toxicity associated with cisplatin treatment: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Cisplatin is commonly used as a chemotherapeutic drug in the treatment of many solid tumours, including bladder, ovarian, and esophageal tumours. However, when it is metabolised by an enzyme called "cysteine conjugate beta-lyase 1 (CCBL1)," it is transformed to "thiol-cisplatin," a highly ac
