Cancer treatment is getting smarter by using several methods at once. One exciting tool is graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs). These tiny powerhouses can do three amazing things: deliver drugs, fix faulty genes, and cook cancer cells with heat. That's multitasking at its best! Graphene, graphene o
Cancer cells are known for their clever tactics to evade the body's immune system. One of these tricks involves manipulating the metabolic processes of cells in and around the tumor. Tumors gobble up glucose, their main energy source, and produce lactate. This creates a tough environment for immune
Cancer treatment has seen some amazing changes lately, with scientists focusing on targeted drug delivery. One interesting way to do this is by using something called anionic polysaccharides. These are like superheroes in the world of medicine because they have cool properties like being non-toxic,
Cancer has this unique friend called telomerase, which is pretty active in cancer cells. Telomerase is like a tiny machine with a reverse transcriptase and something called human telomerase RNA (hTR). We usually spot telomerase by its activity in tissues or single cells, but that's not the whole sto
Cancer can really affect how long people live after getting a liver transplant. In the last few years, finding cancer early with better screens and treating it better with new medicines has improved for the general population. But for people who get liver transplants, things haven't changed much. Th
Cancer remains a significant global health concern, with head and neck cancers, like nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), being particularly common in East Asia. Scientists have long known that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA load and the systemic immune inflammation (SII) index can help predict how NPC
Cancer is a scary thing, and it's the leading cause of death worldwide. Even though we've made great strides in treating it, people still look down on it in many places. Surprisingly, there isn't much research about how women in Nepal view cancer. This study wanted to find out if they had negative f
Cancer affects more than just the patient. In the US, about 1. 6 million adults with cancer also have dependents. This creates unique challenges for families, like increased stress, lowered quality of life, and changes in how families function. But what about the conversation? Not much is known abou
Cancer is a major health issue worldwide, and breast cancer, in particular, is a significant concern. Despite advancements in treatment and prevention, it remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of breast cancer.
Cancer ranks as the second leading cause of death worldwide. Understanding its incidence, death rates, and how it affects people's lives is crucial for better prevention and healthcare planning. A recent study explored the cancer burden and risks across 204 countries and territories over a 41-year s
