During in vitro incubation researchers can administer interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP10) inside platelets. Within the tumor microenvironment elevated levels of thrombin activate the IP10-platelet complex which releases its drug payload leading to substantial anti-tumor results. The IP10-loaded platelets targeted and inhibited tumor ...
Imagine a world where diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's could be diagnosed and treated at the molecular level, long before symptoms even appear. This is the promise of fluorescent biopolymers, a revolutionary new class of materials that could transform the field of biomedical research. What Are Fluorescent Biopolymers? At their core, biopolymers are simply long chains of ...

A pain relieving treatment is recommended for patients to decrease the side effects. Surgery is used to remove the tumor in the mouth. This is the standard treatment for oral cancer. ...
Interventional Oncology, the 4th pillar of modern cancer care Until the late 90s, modern cancer care consisted of three pillars of treatment: surgery (through tumor resection), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. ...
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carlsmed, Inc. is announcing today that the firstaprevopatient specific spinal surgery has been successfully performed. Christopher Ames, M.D., director of spinal tumor and spinal deformity surgery at UC San Francisco Medical Center, assisted by Patrick Maloney, M.D., performed this landmark surgical procedure. ...
Optimal treatment for this tumor is surgery followed by radiation therapy. On August 31 he had complete resection of the tumor, which included partial removal of his laryngeal cartilages with preservation of his speech and swallowing functions. ...
After surgery, a follow-up treatment, also referred to as adjuvant treatment, is often recommended to help eliminate any residual traces of the tumor.1 In the case of brain tumors, more often than not, adjuvant therapy involves using radiation, in part because few chemotherapy agents reliably cross the blood brain barrier. ...
” Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a well-studied and effective treatment for many brain cancers including primary and metastatic brain tumors. Considered an alternative to surgery for select indications, SRS is a non-invasive outpatient procedure that often provides equivalent outcomes, yet no surgical incision, and little to no recovery period. ...
A trial involving ovarian cancer patients at Guildford’s Royal Surrey Hospital (UK) has found they have a higher chance of having all the tumour removed when undergoing surgery using argon plasma. Patients who participated in the ‘PlasmaJet® in Ovarian Cancer Surgery’ feasibility study were given a preview of the results as part of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month recently. ...
A fibre-optic probe can detect errant cancer cells within healthy tissue during brain tumour surgery with close to 100 per cent accuracy and sensitivity, reducing the risk of recurrence and thereby increasing a patient’s survival time, say the Canadian researchers who developed the device. The hand-held, pen-like instrument, known as a Raman spectroscopy probe, is able to differentiate ...
