Washington AP  —  The most widely used COVID-19 vaccines may offer a surprise benefit for some cancer patients – revving up their immune systems to help fight tumors. People with advanced lung or skin cancer who were taking certain immunotherapy drugs lived substantially longer if they also got a Pfizer or Moderna shot within 100 days of starting treatment, according …

Cancer researcher Professor Luke Selth of Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute / Flinders University – SWNS Prostate cancer treatment could be “supercharged” by a new way of weakening malignant cells, say scientists. A new “vulnerability” in prostate cancer cells that could improve treatment for the second most common cancer in men worldwide (second only to skin cancer) was discovered …

A new vaccine can effectively prevent multiple types of cancer, with up to 88 percent efficacy for some forms of tumor in mouse tests. Like a vaccine designed to prevent or reduce illness from viral infections, this cancer vaccine works by training the immune system to attack tumors when they next appear. Nanoparticles in the vaccine present a recognizable component …

Scientists have uncovered how deadly brain tumors hijack the body’s energy sources, and found that tweaking diet may help slow their growth. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers have discovered that brain cancer cells reprogram their sugar metabolism, a vulnerability that can be exploited in mice to impede tumor growth and enhance therapeutic outcomes. Glioblastomas are the most aggressive type of malignant brain …

Scientists are making encouraging progress in developing vaccines to treat cancer, but so far the therapies have been restricted to specific types of tumor. Now new research points the way to a universal vaccine that could attack a wider range of cancers. The research led by a team at the University of Florida focuses on “waking up” the immune system …

Cancer drugs that have been used for two decades were retooled until they were able to eliminate aggressive tumors in a “remarkable” clinical trial. Two of the patients—one with the deadliest form of skin cancer called melanoma and another with breast cancer—were told their tumors disappeared completely. Scientists at Rockefeller University in New York engineered an upgrade to an antibody …
