Ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal gynecological cancers worldwide. While medical imaging is used to screen for ovarian cancer, accurately identifying whether a tumor is benign or malignant is still challenging. This is because the images can vary, making it hard to get objective results withou
You might be wondering if the timing of BCG treatment after bladder tumor removal affects how well it works. BCG, which stands for Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, is a common treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Doctors often use a procedure called transurethral resection of bladder t
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a type of cancer prevalent in certain regions, has a strong link to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This study wanted to find out which imaging method, 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT or 18F-FDG PET/CT, was better for detecting and managing EBV-positive nonkeratinizing nasopharyngeal ca
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, and it comes in many different forms. This makes it tricky to diagnose and treat. One important process in our cells is called ubiquitination, which helps regulate many things like the cell cycle, DNA repair, and more. Deubiquitinating enz
There's an interesting team-up happening in the world of science. Researchers found that sericin and hydroxychloroquine (HQ) can work together to reduce lung damage and even prevent early stages of lung cancer in mice. This duo targets a specific pathway in the body called PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/NF-κB. By ta
Medical imaging plays a big role in catching diseases early. Traditional methods like MRI, CT scans, ultrasounds, and PET scans show us the insides of our bodies in 3D, but they often miss little details that could be crucial. This is where holography microscopic imaging comes in handy. It doesn't j
Breast cancer comes in many forms, and one of the toughest types is Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). This type of cancer doesn't have the usual targets that treatments often go for, making it tricky to treat. Scientists have been trying something clever though. They've been using a method calle
Over the past few years, tiny nanoparticles made from special polymers have caught the eye of researchers and doctors for treating cancer. These smart particles can deliver medicine right where it's needed in the body. However, while many amazing ideas have come up in labs, not many have made it to
Imagine being in the middle of chemotherapy and having to fight your insurance company to get the medicine you need. That's what happened to Arete Tsoukalas, a 26-year-old law student from Indiana. After being diagnosed with leukemia, she found out her insurance required a $13, 000 monthly copay for
Currently, colonoscopy intervals in the US are set based only on the presence of adenomas or pre-cancerous polyps. But what if we could make these intervals more personalized? Researchers explored a new model that considers demographic factors, environmental influences, and genetic risks to tailor c
