Scientists experimenting with an innovative treatment for cancer have now devised a targeted injection that has already successfully eliminated tumors in mice. Could one shot administered directly to a solid tumor mark the end of cancer? Research devising more effective treatments for all types of cancer has been abundant over the past few years, offering […]
Some cancers are difficult to beat, even with modern drugs. New research sheds light on how one type of chemotherapy provides a safe haven for tumor cells, boosting cancer recurrence and growth in the long-run. In the midst of ‘sleeping’ cancer cells, something is stirring. Finding the right drug to treat a cancer can be […]
Scientists may have found an innovative way to kill off cancer cells in acute myeloid leukemia, all the while preserving and regenerating healthy red blood cells. Researchers may have found a way to suppress leukemic cells (shown here) while preserving healthy red blood cells. The new study was carried out by researchers from the McMaster Stem […]
Scientists have developed a small molecule that directly triggers suicide in cancer cells without harming healthy cells. It is now possible to induce cancer cell suicide without damaging healthy cells. In the journal Cancer Cell, researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY, explain how they tested the molecule, called BAX […]
Scientists may have identified a way to boost the effect of chemotherapy against one of the most common forms of leukemia in adults: acute myeloid leukemia. Researchers may have found a way to improve treatment outcomes for patients with AML. In a new study, researchers found that acute myeloid leukemia (AML) triggers blood vessel leakage […]
Since the 1970s, researchers have taken an interest in high-dose vitamin C and its therapeutic potential for treating cancer. New research shows how vitamin C might stop leukemic stem cells from multiplying, and thus block some forms of blood cancer from advancing. New research suggests that vitamin C, when administered intravenously, may block leukemic stem […]
