Breast cancer treatment often involves radiation therapy, which can be tough on healthy cells too. Scientists are looking for ways to protect these good cells while still effectively targeting cancer cells. One promising idea is using metal complexes, like those with copper and manganese, as protect
Cancer rates in Harare, Zimbabwe, have been changing over the last 30 years. This is important because it helps us understand how cancer is affecting people in Africa. The Zimbabwe National Cancer Registry has been keeping track of these changes. But, there is not much data like this from other part
Cancer is a tricky foe. It has some common traits, but finding shared molecular patterns across different types has been a challenge. Now, with tons of data at hand, researchers are diving deep to uncover these hidden links. A recent study took a big leap. They looked at data from twelve different
Cancer is a scary disease that can happen when cells in the body grow out of control. Sometimes, this happens because of harmful chemicals in the environment. These chemicals, called carcinogens, can be found in many places, like the air we breathe, the water we drink, and even the food we eat. One
Cancer is a major health issue worldwide. Early detection is key to improving survival rates. This is why screening, diagnosis, and effective management are crucial. They can significantly reduce mortality rates. Identifying high-risk individuals is essential. Factors like family history, genetics,
Cancer treatment is a must. It is what we all want for ourselves and our loved ones. But, it is not a secret that climate change is affecting everyone, including patients. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. They disrupt care and make things harder for everyone. So, how can we keep g
Researchers have been working hard to find a way to control HIV without daily medication. A recent study involving 10 participants showed some promising results. The participants received experimental treatments designed to boost their immune systems. After stopping their usual HIV medication, six o
Researchers looked into how two different drugs affect eye inflammation in people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). They focused on brolucizumab and aflibercept, both used to treat this condition. Wet AMD is a serious eye problem that can lead to vision loss. It happens when new, abn
Cancer is tricky. It finds ways to hide from the body's defense system. One way it does this is by using something called PD-1 and PD-L1. These are like secret handshakes that tell the immune system to back off. This makes it hard for treatments to work well. Scientists have a new tool called CRISP
Cancer is hard enough. But when a patient also has lung issues, things get even tougher. One such problem is CTEPH. This is a condition where blood clots block vessels in the lungs, making it hard to breathe. A treatment called BPA might help. BPA uses tiny balloons to open up blocked blood vessels
