A landmark study suggests physical activity can help cancer patients live longer. Scientists are learning why.

Many modern cancer treatments, including immunotherapy, depend on activating killer T cells to recognise and destroy tumours.

For years, one of the most powerful weapons against certain blood cancers, called CAR-T therapy, has required an elaborate process: Doctors extract a patient’s immune cells, ship them to a specialized ...

Scientists have found a way to transform hard-to-treat tumors into targets for the immune system. Using two protein stimulators, they activated strong T-cell and B-cell responses and built immune ...

Following reports that actor Dipika Kakar has begun immunotherapy, many people are wondering what the treatment involves.

Researchers have found evidence that low oxygen levels in tumors could actually enhance some of the body's immune responses against cancer, in contrast with the general paradigm that hypoxia ...

A new mRNA vaccine could prevent pancreatic cancer from returning — potentially for the long haul. In a small clinical trial, some patients who received the vaccine remained cancer-free for more than ...

Researchers found an antibody that seems to play a role in people with better lung cancer prognoses, but turning it into a treatment could be difficult. By Gina Kolata Is there a way to use the body’s ...

A targeted drug-delivery system called TAMP aims to send chemotherapy near pancreatic tumors instead of through the entire body in a Phase III trial.

Pain in different parts of the body may not just be due to stress or bad posture, but can also be a symptom of a serious issue like cancer. It is very important to understand the difference between ...

For years, scientists have viewed cancer as a localized glitch in which cells refuse to stop dividing. But a new study suggests that, in certain organs, tumors actively communicate with the brain to ...
