New cancer treatment may reawaken the immune system
Immunotherapy is a promising strategy to treat cancer by stimulating the body's own immune system to destroy tumor cells, but it only works for a handful of cancers. MIT researchers have now discovered a new way to jump-start the immune system to attack tumors, which they hope could allow immunotherapy to be used against more types of cancer.

Blood Test Accurately Detects Early-Stage Pancreatic Cancer. May 10, 2024 , by Nadia Jaber. In a new study involving nearly 1,000 people, a liquid biopsy accurately detected early- and late-stage pancreatic cancer. When paired with a test for the protein CA19-9, the combination accurately identified 97% of people with early-stage disease.

The new treatment, which uses immune cells harvested from a patient's tumor called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, exploits the body's own natural cancer-fighting ability. Once the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or T cells, are harvested, they are encouraged in the laboratory to multiply into billions of cancer-fighting cells, then ...

New Research Shows How Cancer Rewires a Key Immune Pathway To Spread
New research shows how a key immune pathway — the STING pathway — which normally defends the body against viruses and cancer, actually dampens immune responses and helps cancer spread. When STING is persistently activated, it leads to desensitization and a rewiring of downstream signaling that stifles productive, anti-tumor immunity and ...

Researchers in the US have developed a test they say can identify 18 early-stage cancers. Instead of the usual invasive and costly methods, Novelna's test works by analyzing a patient's blood protein.
Cancer patients often do better with less intensive treatment, new
The latest studies involved ovarian and esophageal cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma. Thirty years ago, cancer research was about doing more, not less. In one sobering example, women with advanced breast cancer were pushed to the brink of death with massive doses of chemotherapy and bone marrow transplants.
