Bladder cancer treatment often falls short because chemotherapy drugs struggle to penetrate deeply into tumor tissue, limiting their effectiveness and requiring longer exposure times or higher doses. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and Xiamen University have developed algae based […]

Glioblastoma remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat because its tumor cells adapt quickly and often survive even the most aggressive therapies. Researchers are developing new approaches that can deliver multiple drugs directly to the tumor site in
Nanofiber Based Multidrug Platform Offers New Strategy Against Recurrent Glioblastoma Read More »
Skin cancer often develops invisibly beneath the surface long before visible lesions appear, making early detection difficult. Researchers at the University of Montreal have created a temporary “intelligent tattoo” that can identify micro‑melanomas before they become visible. The system, called
Intelligent Tattoo Detects Skin Cancer Before It Appears Read More »
Many treatments for cancer and cardiovascular disease struggle to deliver drugs to the right place without harming healthy tissue. A University of Central Florida researcher has created smart microbubbles that carry therapeutic agents directly to diseased areas and release them

Patients with recurrent ovarian cancer often face limited treatment options because tumors become resistant to chemotherapy and spread throughout the abdominal cavity. Systemic immunotherapies can help some patients, but high dose cytokines such as interleukin 2 are too toxic when
Cancer surgeons often struggle to distinguish healthy tissue from malignant tissue during an operation, and this uncertainty can lead to incomplete tumor removal or unnecessary damage to surrounding structures. A team of researchers has developed a handheld optical probe that
Handheld Probe Maps Cancerous Tissue in Real Time to Guide More Precise Surgery Read More »
Conventional cancer therapies often struggle to reach deep or irregular tumor sites without harming surrounding tissue. Scientists at the University of Essex have developed a new magnetic control system that could make future treatments far more precise. Their innovation, called
Magnetic Microrobotics Could Revolutionize Targeted Cancer Treatment Read More »
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest forms of cancer because it rarely causes symptoms until it has already spread. By the time most patients are diagnosed, treatment options are limited and survival rates are extremely low. Researchers at the
Cancer surgery often hinges on a difficult decision. Surgeons must determine which lymph nodes are likely to contain cancer and which should be preserved to avoid long term complications. Existing imaging tools can show where lymph fluid drains, but they

Cancer drugs often fail because they do not reach the right part of the cell, yet scientists have had no reliable way to track where a drug accumulates inside a living cell. Existing methods usually require killing the cell first,
