Sabrina Carrillo+FollowCleveland’s cancer research gets $25.5M boostA massive $25.5 million grant renewal is set to supercharge cancer research and care right here in Northeast Ohio. The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center—teaming up with Case Western Reserve, Cleveland Clinic, and University Hospitals—just landed this funding after a top national ranking. This means more cutting-edge clinical trials, earlier detection, and better treatments for the 4 million people in our region. It’s not just about science; it’s about jobs, lower healthcare costs, and hope for families facing cancer. How do you think this investment will shape our community’s future? #Safety #Cleveland #CancerResearch00Share
shermandarlene+FollowPancreatic Cancer Jab Could Be a Game-ChangerThis new pancreatic cancer vaccine is turning heads—early trials show it could help patients live longer and keep cancer from coming back for over a year! Unlike other cancer jabs, this one isn’t custom-made, so it can be produced in bulk and given to more people, faster. Scientists are calling the results “remarkable,” but say more research is needed to see who benefits most. Still, it’s a big glimmer of hope for one of the toughest cancers out there. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch17232Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowCancer’s Secret Shield—And the Tablet That Breaks ItDid you know some tumors have a sneaky way of blocking chemo? Scientists at King’s College London just made a take-at-home tablet that helps chemo actually work—even on resistant tumors! It targets a protein that acts like a shield for cancer, making treatments way more effective in early tests. Human trials could start soon, and if it works, this could mean less aggressive treatments for patients. Game-changer alert! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch9112Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowGame-Changer: Chemo’s New Sidekick?Imagine if a simple tablet could make chemo work better—even on stubborn, resistant tumors. That’s what scientists at King’s College London are testing with a new drug, KCL-HO-1i. It basically takes down the tumor’s defense shield, letting chemo and your immune system do their thing. Early mouse trials are super promising, and human trials could start soon. If this works, it could mean less aggressive treatments and better results for cancer patients. Fingers crossed for this breakthrough! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch7920Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowCells Have a Secret Weapon Against Cancer DrugsScientists just found out that cells have a sneaky way to fight back against certain cancer drugs like alovudine! Turns out, a protein called Fen1 helps cells survive by cleaning up DNA messes that would otherwise make the drug super toxic. This could mean new ways to treat cancer or even predict which treatments will work best. Who knew our cells had such clever tricks up their sleeves? #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch70Share
Charles Christensen+FollowGame-Changing mRNA Vaccine Trial for CancerBig news for cancer treatment! England is fast-tracking a clinical trial for a new mRNA vaccine that could be a total game-changer for people with head and neck tumors linked to HPV. Over 100 patients will get a shot at this cutting-edge treatment, which teaches the immune system to target cancer cells. If it works, this could mean better outcomes and less chance of the cancer coming back. Science is seriously leveling up! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch8722Share
rachel60+FollowCancer Vaccine Trial Fast-Tracked!Major breakthrough alert: NHS England is rolling out a fast-track trial for a new mRNA vaccine targeting head and neck cancers. This jab is designed to train your immune system to fight back against aggressive cancers linked to HPV. Over 100 patients will get early access, and experts are calling it a game-changer for survival rates. Could this be the future of cancer treatment? Stay tuned for updates—this could mean more time with loved ones for so many. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch22926Share
Kevin Rodriguez+FollowCancer’s Sneakiest Virus Just Got ExposedUAMS scientists just scored $3.4M in NIH grants after uncovering a hidden RNA “controller” in a cancer-linked herpesvirus (KSHV). This virus is wild—it hides out in your body, quietly helping tumors grow, and only wakes up when it wants. The new discovery could lead to treatments that force the virus out of hiding and kill cancer cells. CRISPR and antisense therapy might be the future here. Major science win! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch29825Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowNew MRI Tech Is Changing Cancer CareWhole-body MRI scans are now catching tiny traces of myeloma (a tough blood cancer) that regular tests totally miss. This means doctors can spot relapses way earlier and tweak treatments to help patients live longer. One patient even said this scan helped him get back to flying jets and serving his country! No radiation, no injections—just a smarter, kinder way to track cancer. This could be a total game-changer for thousands of people. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch600Share
rachel60+FollowDiet Soda Drama: Sucralose & Cancer CareJust found out that sucralose (yep, the sweetener in your fave diet sodas) might actually mess with cancer immunotherapy! A new study says people with melanoma or lung cancer who had lots of sucralose didn’t respond as well to treatment. The wild part? Giving mice extra arginine (an amino acid) seemed to fix the problem. Researchers are even looking at supplements for humans next. Who knew your sweet tooth could get this complicated? #Health #BodyHealth #cancerresearch111Share
