Chemotherapy remains one of the most widely used cancer treatments, but it often affects the entire body rather than just the tumor. Because these drugs target fast‑dividing cells, they also damage healthy tissues like hair follicles, the digestive tract, and […]
Detecting cancer early often depends on sensing subtle molecular changes inside the body, yet most tools can only measure one biomarker at a time and struggle to operate reliably in living tissue. This limitation makes it difficult for clinicians to
A new development from MIT introduces a portable ultrasound sensor designed to make breast cancer screening more frequent, accessible, and timely for people at elevated risk. The research team created a compact imaging system that can be used at home
Portable Ultrasound Sensor Brings Earlier Breast Cancer Detection Into Homes and Clinics Read More »
A research team led by scientists at Shenzhen University has created a highly sensitive light‑based biosensor capable of detecting extremely low concentrations of cancer biomarkers in blood, offering a potential route to earlier and simpler cancer diagnosis. The system combines
Light‑Based CRISPR Sensor Detects Ultra‑Low Cancer Biomarkers in Blood Read More »
Researchers at the Institut de Neurociències of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have developed a mussel‑inspired bioadhesive patch designed to eliminate glioblastoma cells, the most aggressive and prevalent form of brain tumor. The patch adheres strongly to wet brain tissue
Mussel‑Inspired Bioadhesive Patch Targets and Eliminates Glioblastoma Cells Read More »
Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive brain cancers, with most patients dying within two years and only about 10 percent surviving five years. Surgery cannot remove all tumor cells because they infiltrate brain tissue, and most chemotherapy drugs cannot
Liquid Biopsy Chip Tracks Glioblastoma Treatment Success Read More »
Head and neck cancers that invade bone are among the most difficult to treat surgically, because surgeons must balance complete tumor removal with preserving critical functions like speech, chewing, and swallowing. At The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center –
Patient-Specific 3D Printing Enhances Cancer Surgery Outcomes Read More »
A team at the University of Colorado, Boulder has introduced a novel cancer treatment approach that uses ultrasound waves to soften tumors, enabling chemotherapy drugs to penetrate more effectively. Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United
Ultrasound Technique Softens Tumors to Improve Cancer Treatment Read More »
Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed an implantable, shape‑morphing 3D micro‑LED device designed to overcome barriers in pancreatic cancer treatment. Conventional therapies are limited by the dense tumor microenvironment, which blocks drugs and
Bioinspired Micro‑LEDs Advance Pancreatic Cancer Care Read More »
Researchers at Lund University have developed a new electrotherapy approach that targets glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. The method uses injectable nanoparticles that self‑assemble into a conductive hydrogel inside the tumor. Once in place, the hydrogel acts
