Scientists are using viruses harvested from common plants to create cancer immunotherapies — and they've already proven to be effective in animal models.

Natural Virus

"If a treatment works in dog cancer, it has a very good chance of working, at some level, in human patients."

This Strange Plant Virus Could Treat Many Cancers

A team of researchers have found a way to biosynthesize tiny gold nanoparticles directly within cancer cells to aid in x-ray imaging — and to destroy them.

Hitting Gold

The gold can be heated up with a laser to destroy cancer cells.

Doctors Say They Can Kill Tumors by Growing Gold Inside Them

Doctors engineered a virus that can infect treatment-resistant tumors and make them more vulnerable to existing therapies.

One-Two Punch

Next, they're going to try it on human cancer patients.

British researchers have discovered a new type of T-cell that kills at least 10 types of cancers, all while ignoring healthy cells.

Kill 'Em All

"Previously nobody believed this could be possible."

Scientists Discover Immune Cell That Kills Most Cancers

New research reveals that cancer-linked mutations can occur years before any symptoms appear, potentially giving doctors a new tool to diagnose it early.

Early Tests

It may be possible to diagnose cancer earlier than ever before.

New Research: Cancer Symptoms Can Appear Years Before Diagnosis

Scientists just published the results of the United States first trial of CRISPR-edited cells in cancer patients — and they're very encouraging.
