Learn moreScientists Find a New Way to Combat Prostate Cancer
According to a new study published in the scientific journal Science Translational Medicine, saturated fatty acids contribute to the development and accelerate the growth of prostate tumours. Since blocking these acids apparently slows the progression of cancer, this suggests a new therapeutic approach to treating malignant neoplasms of the prostate.

The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the method in the long term.
Learn moreHow Intestinal Bacteria Help Fight Cancer
Immunotherapy, which shows great promise for treating patients with metastatic malignant neoplasms, has dramatically changed therapeutic forecasts in cancer treatment, especially after the discovery of immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, responses to immunotherapy are heterogeneous and often transient…
Learn moreA Well-Known Drug Will Help in the Fight Against Cancer
A team of researchers from Cardiff University in Britain has established that small doses of aspirin are not only beneficial for preventive purposes for people with cardiovascular diseases and stroke but may also play a certain role in the therapy of some types of oncology. The results of their research were published in the latest issue of the medical journal <em>PLOS Medicine.</em>
Learn moreCAR-M Therapy: Hope for Treating Complex Tumours
Researchers from South Korea have presented an innovative approach to cancer immunotherapy that could significantly expand the capabilities of existing treatment methods, such as CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy). The team from the Korean Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) led by Dr. Chi-Hoon Park has developed a new technology based on the use of macrophages with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-M). This method promises to overcome the limitations of CAR-T therapy, especially in treating solid tumours such as lung or liver cancer, and open new prospects in the fight against oncological diseases.
Learn moreBioengineers Develop a Non-Invasive Method for Cell Control Using Temperature
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have developed an innovative method for controlling cells using temperature. This approach could serve as the foundation for new types of cell therapy, where modified cells respond to natural physiological changes, such as increased body temperature…
Learn moreAchievements in Bladder Cancer Treatment Offer Hope for Cure
Advancements in bladder oncology open new horizons for patients. Modern research demonstrates significant progress in treatment, especially for aggressive forms of cancer. Thanks to a personalized approach based on precise identification of molecular characteristics of the tumour…
Learn moreScientists Find Biomarker Predicting Tumour Response to Immunotherapy
It has been established that some subtypes of melanoma, sarcoma, and renal cell carcinoma – but not all – respond well to treatment with new drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, which utilize the body's well-known ability to mount an immune response against tumour cells carrying foreign antigens. A new study published in the journal Nature shows that the presence of B-lymphocytes within the tumour – inside clusters of immune cells called tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) – can predict how well these tumours will respond to immunotherapy.
Learn moreNew Two-Hour Cancer Diagnosis and Risk Assessment
A new technology based on mechanobiology can predict within two hours whether a tumour is malignant, and if so, how likely it is that the cells will spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. The method was developed and tested by a research group led by Professor Daphne Weichs from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. The study was published in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering.
Learn moreDouble Blow: Scientists Find New Way to Combat Cancer
A drug compound developed by specialists at Johns Hopkins University, which blocks glutamine metabolism, is capable of slowing tumour growth, altering its microenvironment structure, and stimulating the production of resilient and highly active anti-tumour lymphocytes.
Learn moreBreast cancer can be detected long before symptoms appear
Scientists have discovered that breast cancer can be successfully detected several years before any symptoms manifest through a simple blood test. The results of this important study, which could enhance early diagnosis of breast tumours and improve treatment effectiveness, were presented at a recent conference of the National Cancer Research Institute.
Learn moreA Simple Blood Test Will Make Lung Cancer Diagnosis More Effective
An Israeli-British team of scientists has developed a new method for diagnosing lung cancer that, they say, will allow for the detection of one of the most dangerous forms of oncology much more effectively than existing methods. This involves a simple blood test based on DNA repair indicators. Specifically…
Learn moreThe Ichilov Clinic Opens a State-of-the-Art Institute of Cell Therapy
Last week, the Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv officially opened the Institute of Cell Therapy, which will allow cancer patients at the hospital to receive innovative treatment. Its construction took several years and cost the state nearly two million dollars.
Learn moreA New Drug Shows Promising Results in the Treatment of Lung and Kidney Cancer
The first of its kind drug for the treatment of oncological diseases, pegilodecakin, has shown positive results regarding safety and the potential to become a new therapeutic option for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and kidney cancer.
Learn moreIsraeli Scientists Find Way to Prevent Melanoma Metastasis to the Brain
A group of researchers from the medical school at Tel Aviv University discovered the mechanism by which melanoma cells – the most dangerous type of skin cancer – infiltrate the brain, forming metastases. In an experiment on mice, they managed to block this mechanism, halting the process of cancer spreading to the brain.
Learn moreNew Technology Allows for Scarless Breast Tumour Removal
At the leading Israeli clinic Ichilov, an innovative technology has been developed and successfully tested that prevents scar formation after surgical removal of tumours in patients with breast cancer. A recently completed study conducted in the dermatology department of the medical center showed that the use of two types of lasers significantly minimizes tissue scarring after breast tumour removal surgery.
Learn moreIn Israel, the C-Scan Capsule for Colorectal Cancer Screening Successfully Tested
