By opening a way for the immune system to attack tumours, two scientists revolutionised cancer care and won a Nobel Prize in 2018. Here is why their discoveries matter and how patients are already feeling the benefits. In 10 seco...
Researchers have been achieving promising results by using cryotherapy to kill breast cancer cells by freezing tumours with super-cold nitrogen. In 10 seconds? Having already deployed it against other forms of cancer, researchers...
According to a new study, cervical cancer could be nearly wiped out in a few decades, and the biggest obstacle is attitudes to screening. New home kits can help to faster identify women at risk. In 10 seconds? New research sugges...
Recent studies support thalidomide’s use against blood cancers like multiple myeloma (MM) and suggest that the drug can help target cancer-promoting agents that were previously drug resistant. Additionally, it produced better surv...
Here’s some hot news about chilli peppers: scientists have found that the progression of lung cancer could be slowed down with the help of a compound that is found in the pungent pepper. In 10 seconds? Capsaicin, a natural compou...
Researchers have identified gut bacteria that can mobilise the immune system to fight tumours. The discovery can also help identify patients who are most likely to respond to cancer immunotherapy. In 10 seconds? Scientists have i...
By mimicking the human body’s natural elastic behaviour, researchers are developing nanogels that reduce their size and are able to drop drugs into previously inaccessible cancerous tissues. In 10 seconds? Scientists have created...
Scientists have developed a way to reduce toxicity and side effects of brachytherapy for women with cervical cancer by using 3D-printed applicators. The promising results strengthen the argument for the wider use of the treatment....
Researchers have identified a protein that can be targeted with future drugs to stop the deadly spread of breast cancer and save many lives. In 10 seconds? The development of secondary tumours or metastasis of breast cancer is th...
