rachel60+FollowAntidepressants vs. Cancer? Wild New Study!Get this: meds like Prozac and Celexa, which are usually for depression, might also help shrink tumors! Researchers found these antidepressants supercharge killer T-cells, making them better at fighting cancer. In lab tests, tumors shrank by over 50%—and when combined with current cancer treatments, some even disappeared. Since these drugs are already FDA-approved, this could fast-track new cancer therapies. Who knew a mood booster could be a cancer fighter too? #CancerResearch #HealthNews #ScienceWin #Health #BodyHealth182Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowChemo-Free Leukaemia Breakthrough?!A UK trial just found that skipping chemo and using two targeted drugs (ibrutinib + venetoclax) could be a total game-changer for leukaemia patients. After 5 years, 94% of people on this combo had no disease progression—way better than chemo! Plus, it’s easier on the body. One woman in the trial is now cancer-free and living her best grandma life. Could this be the future of cancer care? #Leukaemia #CancerResearch #MedicalBreakthrough #Health #BodyHealth1234Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowBlood Test Spots Cancer Years Early?!Imagine catching cancer up to 3 years before any symptoms show up—just from a simple blood test. Researchers at Johns Hopkins found that tiny bits of tumor DNA can be detected way before a diagnosis, giving doctors a huge head start. This could mean easier treatments and way better odds. If regular blood tests become the norm, your annual checkup might get a major upgrade. Early detection = game changer! #EarlyDetection #CancerResearch #HealthTech #Health #BodyHealth120Share
Michelle Welch+FollowNew Hope for Rare Lung CancerBig news for anyone following cancer breakthroughs: the FDA just approved IBTROZI, a next-gen oral drug for advanced ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer. This rare type mostly hits younger, non-smokers and often spreads to the brain. IBTROZI showed super high response rates—even for those with brain metastases—and is generally well tolerated. With this approval, patients finally have a promising new option that could really change the game! #LungCancer #FDAApproval #CancerResearch #Health #BodyHealth50Share

rachel60+FollowCancer Conference Hype: Real Wins for Patients?Every year, the ASCO cancer conference drops major headlines about new treatments, but do they actually help patients? Turns out, yes! Drugs like Enhertu, Verzenio, and Trodelvy are now FDA-approved and making a real difference—think longer survival, fewer side effects, and better quality of life for breast and lung cancer patients. Plus, new gene-targeted meds are doubling the time some cancers stay in check. The hype is real: these breakthroughs are changing lives! #CancerResearch #ASCO #CancerTreatment #Health80Share
shermandarlene+FollowAI’s Wild Cancer Drug MatchmakingGet this: scientists used GPT-4 to play matchmaker with everyday meds (think cholesterol or anti-parasite drugs) and found combos that actually killed breast cancer cells—without wrecking healthy ones. The AI even came up with ideas that surprised the experts, and some pairings worked better than current cancer treatments in the lab. The craziest part? This could mean way faster, cheaper, and more personalized cancer care in the future. Who knew AI could be this creative? #AIinMedicine #CancerResearch #DrugDiscovery #Health152Share
shermandarlene+FollowLung Cancer Breakthroughs You Need to KnowMajor news for small cell lung cancer: new immunotherapy combos are giving patients real hope for the first time in years! Adding the chemo drug lignin to atezolizumab can give patients three extra months without cancer getting worse. Even more exciting, a new drug called Imdelltra is helping people live over a year—way up from the usual 6-9 months. Plus, these new treatments come with fewer nasty side effects, and more patients (even those with brain mets) can join clinical trials. The future is looking brighter! #LungCancer #Immunotherapy #CancerResearch #Health140Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowGame-Changer for Tough Stomach CancerBig news for anyone following cancer breakthroughs: a new study just showed that Enhertu (T-DXd) can help people with aggressive HER2+ stomach or GEJ cancer live longer than the old chemo combo. It’s like a smart missile that targets cancer cells, and the results are so good, experts say it should be the new go-to after first treatments stop working. For families facing limited options, this could mean more time and real hope. #CancerResearch #GastricCancer #Enhertu #Health160Share
