Is machine learning the future of early cancer detection?

AI Blood Test Can Spot Lung Cancers With 90 Percent Accuracy

Scientists managed to 3D print a "viable" glioblastoma tumor so that they can develop better, more effective treatments for the deadly brain cancer.

Stacking the Odds

It seems almost unfair for the little cancer blobs.

Scientists 3D Print Living, Viable Brain Tumor, to Practice Killing It

Scientists were able to lump every kind of cancer out there into two categories based on whether they express a single protein.

A/B Testing

Tumors seem to be able to turn the protein on or off to evade treatment.

Doctors Say They Found a Protein Linking All Cancers

Researchers at the University of Zurich have modified a common respiratory virus called the adenovirus to eliminate tumors from the inside out.

Anti-Cancer

This new technique tricks a tumor into eliminating itself from the inside out.

Doctors Hack Virus to Make Tumors Kill Themselves

As the pandemic begins its 15th official year, doctors are seeing severe cancer cases that went ignored for too long for one reason or another.

Back To Bite

Doctors say some cases are worse than they've seen in years.

Severe Cancer Is on the Rise

A team of researchers have designed a personalized cancer vaccine capable of inducing a years-long immune response that fights off melanoma.

Personalized Cancer Vaccines

A recent study of personalized cancer vaccines showed "very rewarding" results.

Harvard Scientists Excited by Results on New Cancer Vaccine

A team of scientists submitted a new cancer medication for the FDA's approval without having experimented on a single animal.

Guilt-Free Science

Studies

Is medical research about to get more humane?

Scientists Create Cancer Drug Without Any Animal Tests

Nanoprobes called bioharmonophores can seek out and bind to cancer cells, making them glow brightly under medical scanners.

Glow Up

Spotting tumors might become a whole lot simpler.

Cancer-Hunting Nanotech Makes Tumors Light Up

A startup wants to deliver cancer drugs directly to brain tumors via tiny, injectible devices that look like little drills.

Drag And Drop

But don't worry — it's there to help.

Startup Creates Tiny Drill to Burrow Through Your Brain With Magnets

New research suggests that Toxoplasma gondii, the brain parasite infamously spread by pet cats, is linked to a greater risk of brain cancer.

Brain Worms

New research raises questions about cats and cancer.

Parasite Spread to Humans by Pet Cats Linked to Brain Cancer

After being arrested in late 2019 for attempting to take biological samples with him to China, cancer researcher Zaosong Zheng was sentenced to time served.

Cancer Caper

He was caught at the airport, trying to smuggle them out of the country.

Cancer Researcher Sentenced for Stealing Biological Samples

COVID-19 is on track to become the leading cause of death in the U.S., beating the daily death tolls for cancer and heart disease combined.
