Dive right in! Like the weather, the Daily Star’s FREE newsletter is a scorcher Breast cancer screening could save 400 lives a year if it was offered to Brits from the age of 40, research suggests. According to a Queen Mary University of London study, testing may reduce risk of dying from the disease before […]
A study has found strong similarities between children withendemic Burkitt lymphoma—an aggressive cancer that attacks the body’s defense system and children with silent malaria infection. Endemic Burkitt lymphoma cases occur in areas with frequent malaria transmissions. Researchers hypothesized that the disease may occur in children with heavy exposure to malaria, says Sam Mbulaiteye, a co-author […]
A new type of immunotherapy for the skin cancer malignant melanoma shows promising results. Three severely ill patients are now long-term survivors. The study, published in OncoImmunology, is the result of a collaboration between researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital. “Immunotherapy is based on activation of the body’s own immune defense to eliminate […]
Scientists at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) have biofabricated human colorectal cancer miniature organs, called organoids, to better understand how a tumor grows in its natural microenvironment and its response to therapies. This new study is the first to replicate observations of native tumor tissue in a laboratory model and validate it […]
A team of researchers from Google Health, working with others from institutions across the U.S. and Canada has found that a Google AI system was able to outperform general pathologists when validating Gleason grading of prostate cancer biopsies. In their paper published in JAMA Oncology, the group describes two major experiments they conducted that compared […]
Cancer diagnosis requires a lengthy process of multiple analyses of tissue biopsies, impeding the quick and early detection of cancers. In a new study, researchers from Osaka University developed a novel imaging system that uses near-infrared light to be less invasive and more time efficient than the conventional approach. Histopathological analysis, or the investigation of […]
In order for cancer to form in the human body, normal cells must acquire multiple mutations before they develop toward the disease. It was previously believed that these mutations acted in concert in the progression of cancer. But a new Nature study led by City of Hope’s Markus Müschen, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department […]
PanSeer, a non-invasive technique that costs less than £80 a patient, is more than 90 percent accurate and could lead to screening for tumours of the lung, bowel, gullet, liver and stomach. These cancers claim around 69,300 lives each year in the UK. Professor Kun Zhang, from the University of California, San Diego, said: “The […]
While immunotherapy—a form of treatment that uses the body’s immune system to recognize, attack and kill tumor cells—has given hope to people across the globe, it fails in a significant proportion of cancer patients. However, a new study published in the Nature journal Cell Death Discovery on Monday, July 6, suggests that blocking the tumor-promoting […]
Algae contains important active compounds against MRSA and skin cancer In a algae now, as yet, not well-known bioactive constituents have been identified, which can be used to fight infectious bacteria such as MRSA and for the treatment of skin cancer. In the current study of the GEOMAR Helmholtz centre for ocean research Kiel have […]
