Breakthrough research makes cancer-fighting viral agent more effective

When a cancer cell doesn’t respond to traditional therapies, doctors may turn to a sort of viral biological warfare, by deploying ‘troops’ in the form of viral agents that are specifically engineered to target and eliminate cancer cells. The mode of attack is to transform

Gold nanoparticles kill cancer – but not as thought

Cracow, 26 June 2024 – Gold particles having the size of billionths of a metre are lethal to cancer cells. This fact has been known for a long time, as has a simple correlation: the smaller the nanoparticles used to fight the cancer cells, the faster they

Study supports precision radiation therapy in lung cancer

HOUSTON ― Results from a new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center support standard use of the more precise intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) over the alternative 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for patients with unresectable, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Potential new target for colorectal cancer treatment

Researchers have identified a protein called PFDN6 that may play a role in the development and spread of colorectal cancer (CRC). The study, published in [journal name], found that PFDN6 levels are increased in CRC patients and contribute to tumor growth. By reducing PFDN6 in
