Michelle Welch+FollowBladder Cancer Breakthrough Combo?Bladder cancer treatments are getting a major upgrade! Researchers are seeing big promise in mixing radiation with immunotherapy—think of it as a tag-team that helps your immune system spot and attack cancer cells better. Early trials show this combo could mean longer survival and fewer relapses, especially for those who can’t have surgery. But heads up: it’s not a magic fix yet—side effects and finding the right patients are still big questions. More research is on the way, but this could be a game-changer! #BladderCancer #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #RadiationTherapy #HealthNews #Health151Share
Misty Brady+FollowAging Might Be Sabotaging Cancer TherapiesTurns out, getting older doesn’t just mean more candles on the cake—it could also mean your immune cells aren’t as fierce against cancer. New research found that CAR-T cell therapy, a cutting-edge cancer treatment, works way less effectively in older folks because their cells lose metabolic power. The wild part? Scientists were able to revive these tired cells by boosting a molecule called NAD. This could totally change how we treat cancer in older adults! #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #Aging #HealthNews #ScienceUpdate #Health10Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowCholesterol’s Sneaky Heart Attack—And the Wild FixTurns out, cholesterol isn’t just clogging your arteries—it’s sneaking into your heart cells and messing with their energy supply! Scientists just found out how it happens and even created a monoclonal antibody therapy that can kick cholesterol out of your heart’s mitochondria. Early tests in rabbits show it actually reverses the damage and restores the heart’s energy. Could this be the next big thing for heart health? #HeartHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #Cholesterol #ScienceNews #Immunotherapy #Health457Share
john24+FollowTeddi’s Tumors Are Shrinking!Teddi Mellencamp just dropped some seriously uplifting news about her cancer journey—her tumors are actually shrinking thanks to immunotherapy! She opened up on her podcast, sharing that both her brain and lung tumors are getting smaller, and one’s almost invisible now. She’s not cancer-free yet, but her doctors are feeling good about her progress. Teddi’s got two more years of treatment ahead, but this update is giving major hope vibes. Who else is rooting for her comeback? #TeddiMellencamp #CancerUpdate #Immunotherapy #RHOBH #RealityTV #Health409Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowSkipping Cancer Surgery? This Is HugeDid you see this? A new study found that some people with early-stage cancers (like rectal or colon) might be able to ditch surgery altogether and just use immunotherapy. 82% of patients on Jemperli had no signs of cancer after 6 months—most skipped surgery and kept their organs! It works best for tumors with a thing called dMMR, so if you or someone you know is dealing with this, ask the doc about it. Imagine beating cancer without going under the knife! #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #Jemperli #HealthNews #Health180Share
Michelle Welch+FollowImmunotherapy Flop in Colon Cancer?The ATOMIC trial just dropped some surprising news: adding atezolizumab (an immunotherapy) to standard chemo didn’t really help prevent stage III MSI-H/dMMR colon cancer from coming back. While it worked wonders in metastatic cases, it didn’t move the needle much here—except maybe for a few high-risk folks. The combo was safe, though! Looks like chemo alone is still the go-to, but researchers are eyeing new strategies like neoadjuvant immunotherapy and ctDNA tracking. Stay tuned for what’s next! #ColonCancer #Immunotherapy #ATOMICTrial #Oncology #CancerResearch #Health60Share
john24+FollowCRISPR T-Cells Just Scored a Win!Scientists just used CRISPR to edit immune cells (TILs) for the first time in people with tough-to-treat GI cancers—and it’s actually working! One patient with advanced colorectal cancer has been cancer-free for over 21 months. This could be a game-changer for folks who don’t respond to regular immunotherapy. The future of cancer treatment is getting wild! #CRISPR #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #MedicalBreakthrough #ScienceNews #Health150Share
Kristi Key+FollowCRISPR T Cells Take on Tough CancerMetastatic colorectal cancer just got a new challenger: CRISPR-edited T cells! At AACR25, Emil Lou showed off early data where they used CRISPR to target the CISH checkpoint in patients who didn’t respond to other treatments. It’s wild to see gene editing moving from the lab to real people, and it could mean hope for folks with stubborn cancers. Science is seriously leveling up! #CRISPR #CancerResearch #ColorectalCancer #AACR25 #Immunotherapy #Health230Share
wilsonjames+FollowChemo-Free Cancer Breakthrough?!You won’t believe this: a new study found that nearly 80% of certain cancer patients beat their disease with just immunotherapy—no chemo, no surgery, no radiation. For rectal cancer, it was a 100% success rate in the trial! Patients say it feels like winning the lottery. The secret? A special genetic mutation that makes tumors super vulnerable to this treatment. If this keeps up, cancer care could look totally different soon! #CancerBreakthrough #Immunotherapy #HealthNews #MedicalResearch #ChemoFree #Health16212Share
Charles Christensen+FollowCancer Surgery Could Be Skipped?!This new study is wild—92% of cancer patients who got just an immune-based treatment (no surgery!) showed no signs of disease after two years. One woman with a tough-to-treat cancer skipped the whole surgery/chemo/radiation routine and just did monthly infusions. Now, she’s cancer-free! Docs are saying this could totally change how some cancers are treated, making things way less invasive. Immunotherapy is seriously leveling up.
