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.

Doctors Fight Deadly Tumors Using Gene-Hacked Virus

A team of Chinese researchers claim their blood test can detect five types of cancer in 95 percent of asymptomatic patients who later were diagnosed.

Cancer-B-Gone

"We’re turning the proof of concept stage into a commercial product that is robust, inexpensive and can be deployed in clinics."

New Blood Test Appears to Detect Cancer Years Before Symptoms

By genetically modifying goats, scientists found a way to make them manufacture expensive cancer medications in their milk.

Chug a Lug

Yes, you read that right.

Scientists Gene-Hack Goats to Make Cancer Drug in Their Milk

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.

Safe Bet

This could be great news for experimental cancer treatments.

Human Trial Suggests CRISPR Could Be a Viable Cancer Treatment

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