Higher doses of radiotherapy for cancer treatment destroy more healthy tissue as well as more tumour cells. Gold nanoparticles sensitize tumours to radiation, making treatment more effective.

We show that minute amounts of cancer DNA can be detected in blood more sensitively than ever before.
Not only are tumors are different from one another, but there can even be genetic differences within a single tumor.
A few cancers vanish without any medical treatment. Researchers are studying these ‘spontaneous regressions’ to see if they can lead to new cancer treatments.
Eating less sugar isn’t enough to stop glucose-hungry cancer cells but new research points the way to how we might starve them to death.
It sounds like a scene from a science fiction novel – an army of tiny weaponised robots travelling around a human body, hunting down malignant tumours and destroying them from within. But research in Nature…
Belgium researchers have pinpointed a family of pharmaceutical compounds that can prevent the appearance of human tumour…
Scientists have discovered a new molecule that prevents cancer cells from surviving when starved of oxygen. Cancer cells…
There is new hope in the fight against breast cancer. Scientists have found that silencing the BCL-2 gene in oestrogen receptor…
A genetic rogue element previously thought of as “junk DNA” may hold the key to understanding cancer progression. Researchers…
Scientists from two universities have bioengineered a molecule that may help fight colon cancer. Human Alpha-lactabumin Made…
The drug geldanamycin, commonly used to treat breast cancer, could provide a new treatment to prevent other cancers from…
French scientist Gilles-Eric Seralini caused quite a stir last week when he claimed he’d shown cancer in rats increased when they were fed genetically modified corn and/or water spiked with the herbicide…
The facial tumour responsible for wiping out 85% of Tasmanian Devils is spreading regardless of genetic differences across the species, undermining the theory that it is mostly deadly in communities whose…
The discovery of a tumour suppressing gene could offer hope to patients with the deadliest form of cancer, new research has shown. An international team of researchers, including scientists from Australia…
