A breath test for multiple cancers reaches clinical trial

Researchers have launched a clinical trial to develop a breath test, analysing molecules that could indicate the presence of cancer at an early stage. [This] technology is the first to test across multiple cancer types, potentially paving the way for a universal breath test. – Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald This is the first test of its kind to

Aspirin could hold the key to supercharged cancer immunotherapy

Giving cancer patients aspirin at the same time as immunotherapy could dramatically boost the effectiveness of the treatment, according to new research published in the journal Cell today (Thursday). Francis Crick Institute researchers, funded by Cancer Research UK, have shown that skin, breast and bowel cancer cells often produce large amounts of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).

New technique for precise light-activated chemotherapy drugs

A new technique that uses light to activate chemotherapy drugs in specific cells shows promise as a way to improve the effectiveness of cancer therapies while preventing severe side effects, according to a study published July 9 in Cell. The so-called photopharmacology approach could be used to treat a broad range of tumors with unprecedented

‘Huge breakthrough’ in understanding how the immune system recognises cancer

US researchers have revealed(link is external) the identity of molecules on the surface of cancer cells which allow the body’s immune system to identify and destroy them. The research could lead to a new generation of immunotherapies that are far more effective than those currently in use, that could target a range of cancers. “This

Breakthrough ‘shrinks’ childhood tumours

BRITISH cancer specialists have made a breakthrough in their fight against the most deadly childhood cancer. Cancer Research UK and the University of Southampton have unveiled a therapy for neuroblastoma, an aggressive cancer of the nervous system in infants as young as one year old which can spread to bones, the liver and brain. It

Citizen Scientists Combine to Identify Effective Cancer Treatments

When Zooniverse, a citizen science site that hosts collaborative research projects, first looked to the skies in 2007 it was attempting to streamline the way we categorize galaxies by asking ordinary people to lend a hand. Just 14 months after launch they had 60 million classifications by hundreds of thousands of participants. The academic world has

Blood vessel ‘inflator’ could be ‘game-changer’ for pancreatic cancer treatment

This research will help our understanding of the disease Cancer Research UK scientists have shown that an enzyme can re-expand the insides of blood vessels allowing more drugs and large antibody molecules to reach pancreatic tumors, according to research published in GUT today. The team at Cancer Research UK’s Cambridge Research Institute showed that an

Major Breakthrough in Pancreatic Cancer: Trial Drug Shows Positive Result

The trial gives you hope Researchers at Cancer Research UK’s Cambridge Research Institute carried out an experiment on mice, in which a chemotherapy drug called gemcitabine was combined with an experimental drug called MRK003 resulting in a chain of events that ultimately killed the cancer cells. In a press release, Cancer Research UK revealed that

Lung cancer vaccine shows promise

Cancer Research UK said there were many unanswered questions A vaccine which triggers the immune system to attack the most common type of lung cancer has shown promise in early clinical trials, say researchers. Tests on 148 patients, reported in the Lancet Oncology, showed that adding the vaccine to chemotherapy slowed the cancer’s progression. However,
