Scientists Propose a New Way to Combat Metastases

Localized tumors are considered relatively harmless – they are easily treatable and often do not recur. However, most cancerous formations tend to metastasize, meaning they have the ability to spread throughout the body via the bloodstream or lymphatic system. By forming secondary foci in the bones, lungs, liver, brain, and other organs, they become life-threatening. This is why researchers studying cancer are actively seeking ways not only to effectively stop tumor growth but also to block their metastasis.

Scientists Find a New Way to Combat Prostate Cancer

According to a new study published in the scientific journal Science Translational Medicine, saturated fatty acids promote the development and accelerate the growth of prostate tumors. Since blocking these acids apparently slows the progression of cancer, this suggests a new therapeutic approach to treating malignant neoplasms of the prostate.

Nanoparticles Will Eliminate Side Effects in Prostate Cancer Treatment

A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrated that gold nanoparticles designed to convert near-infrared light into heat effectively and safely destroy low- and intermediate-risk prostate tumors.

The results demonstrated the method's effectiveness in the long term.

How Intestinal Bacteria Help Fight Cancer

Immunotherapy, which shows great promise for treating patients with metastatic malignant tumors, 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.

A 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 strokes, 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>

CAR-M Therapy: Hope for Treating Complex Tumors

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 tumors such as lung or liver cancer, and open new prospects in the fight against oncological diseases.

Bioengineers 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 a foundation for new types of cell therapy, where modified cells will respond to natural physiological changes, such as increased body temperature.

Advancements 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 tumor, doctors can choose the most effective therapeutic strategies for each patient.

Scientists Find Biomarker Predicting Tumor 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 generate an immune response against tumor cells carrying foreign antigens.

New Two-Hour Cancer Diagnosis and Risk Assessment

A new technology based on mechanobiology can predict within two hours whether a tumor is malignant, and if so, how likely it is that the cells will spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.
