Microbial signatures linked to immunotherapy response across cancers

The microbiome can identify those who benefit from combination immunotherapy across multiple different cancers, including rare gynecological cancers, biliary tract cancers and melanoma. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute in Australia, and collaborators, have identified specific strains of bacteria that are linked with a positive response to combination immunotherapy […]

COST Action bridges the gap in cancer immunotherapy research

Cancer is still a leading cause of death worldwide. Globally, there were an estimated 20 million new cases of cancer and 10 million deaths. The burden will continue to grow globally by nearly 60% over the next two decades. The direct consequence will exert physical, emotional, and financial strain on individuals, families, communities, and the […]

Nanobots for bladder cancer treatment, promising high efficacy and targeted delivery

Bladder cancer is currently treated in its earlier stages by localized intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy after removing the tumor. However, recurrences occur in up to 70% of patients at 5 years, while up to 30% fail to respond. This means a constant need to monitor and retreat these patients, driving costs sky-high for the treatment […]

Researchers identify mechanism that causes gastrointestinal problems with cancer immunotherapy

Researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center have identified a mechanism that causes severe gastrointestinal problems with immune-based cancer treatment. They also found a way to deliver immunotherapy’s cancer-killing impact without the unwelcome side effect. The findings are published in Science. This is a good example of how understanding a mechanism […]

New combination treatment offers hope for older patients with mantle cell lymphoma

The phase 2 trial PrE0405 met its primary endpoint, achieving a complete response (CR) rate of 85% in 33 patients over the age of 60 with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who received bendamustine and rituximab, a standard chemo-immunotherapy treatment, along with venetoclax, which is investigational in this setting. The combination was generally well-tolerated, a notable […]

Researchers develop $1 cancer treatment using engineered bacteria

What if a single one-dollar dose could cure cancer? A multi-university team of researchers, supported by federal funding, is developing a highly efficient bacterial therapeutic to target cancer more precisely to make treatment safer through a single $1 dose. Traditionally, cancer therapies have been limited in their efficacy in treating patients. Some, like radiation and […]

Scientists succeed in mapping a central part of the immune system

A new paper in Science Advances details how scientists have succeeded in mapping a central part of the immune system – the HLA class II molecules – while accurately predicting how they display fragments of pathogens on the surface of cells. When we are sick, our immune system – in curing us – relies on […]

New treatment options offer hope for patients with non-small cell lung cancer

More people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are likely to benefit from new drugs that target molecular alterations in tumor cells, with less need for chemotherapy, following results of multiple landmark clinical trials reported for the first time in late-breaking presentations at the ESMO Congress 2023. Better outcomes were achieved with combinations of experimental […]

Study shows how cancer can selfishly hijack a helpful immune pathway to spread

A study led by researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and Weill Cornell Medicine discovered a new relationship between cancer cells and the immune system, and shows how cancer can selfishly hijack a normally helpful immune pathway. Usually, activation of this key immune pathway -; called the STING pathway -; triggers a strong […]

Early lung cancer detection with a machine learning model based on imaging, clinical, and DNA methylation biomarkers

In a recent study published in The Lancet Digital Health, researchers discuss the development and validation of a combined model comprising imaging, clinical, and cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation biomarkers for improved classification of pulmonary nodules and the earlier diagnosis of lung cancer. Study: Accurate classification of pulmonary nodules by a combined model of clinical, imaging, and […]
