Yes, you heard it right. Locusts can detect human cancer. A recent study by Michigan State University (MSU) found that locusts can reliably detect various human cancers by fragrance. Not only can the insects “smell” the difference between healthy and sick cells, but they can also distinguish distinct cancer cell lines. These findings pave the ...
We generally consume ripe yellow bananas because they are sweet and fibrous. These are great for constipation and digestive health, but eating green, unripe bananas can provide unexpected benefits, including cancer prevention. The 20-year-long study involved Lynch Syndrome patients at a greater risk of developing rectal and intestine cancer. They were asked to consume a ...
Thirty thousand cancer experts recently attended the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago. A paper from the U.S. Cancer Society was presented showing how the meditation practice of Falun Gong has prolonged the lives of cancer patients diagnosed with terminal cancer. The article garnered a lot of attention from those in attendance. ...
A team of scientists from Cardiff University has discovered a unique way of killing several types of cancers. The technique uses a newly discovered part of the human immune system. Though the method has yet to be tested on actual patients, the researchers feel that it has immense potential. Killing cancer with the immune system ...
A blood test that measures the amount of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the bloodstream — called a liquid biopsy — correlates with how patients will progress after they are diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM). This is the deadliest and most common primary brain tumor in adults. In a new study, researchers from the Abramson Cancer Center ...
New research that uncovers the mechanism behind the newest generation of cancer drugs is opening the door for better-targeted therapy. PARP inhibitors are molecular-targeted cancer drugs used to treat women with ovarian cancer who have the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. The drugs are showing promise in late-stage clinical trials for breast cancer, prostate cancer, ...
In what could prove to be a breakthrough in the treatment of brain cancer, a group of scientists has discovered that the gene-editing software CRISPR enabled them to shut down brain cancer’s immortality switch. Cancer’s immortality switch The research team, led by the neurosurgery expert Joseph Costello, studied glioblastoma brain cancer cells extracted from cancer ...
