Ryan Lewis+FollowHerpesvirus: The Unexpected Cancer FighterWho would've guessed cold sores could help fight cancer? Scientists tweaked the herpesvirus (yep, the one behind cold sores) and paired it with an immunotherapy drug to shrink or even erase tumors in one-third of people with stubborn, late-stage melanoma. The wild part? It worked on tumors all over the body, not just where they injected it. Minimal side effects, and it’s now under FDA review for fast-track approval. Cancer treatment is getting a serious plot twist! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch608Share
Michelle Welch+FollowGame-Changer for Cancer Testing!Brown Cancer Center just became the first in the US to offer a new FDA-approved test that scans both DNA and RNA from a tiny tumor sample—all in one go! This means faster, more precise answers for patients, and treatments that are truly tailored to their cancer. No more waiting weeks for results or running multiple tests. This tech could seriously change the game for cancer care! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch745Share
April Anderson+FollowCancer Cells Ride Energy Waves?!Cancer cells have a wild trick up their sleeve: they create literal waves of energy on their surface to fuel their invasion. Scientists at Johns Hopkins just caught these 'power ripples' in action, showing that the more aggressive the cancer, the more intense the waves. Blocking these waves slows the cancer down—meaning new treatments could target these energy surges instead of just nuking everything. Imagine: fighting cancer by breaking its rhythm! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch5716Share
April Anderson+FollowCBD + Platinum: Cancer’s New Power Duo?Scientists just made a wild breakthrough: they fused CBD with a platinum chemo drug, and it’s crushing drug-resistant cancer cells—especially in tough lung cancer cases. The new compound (called W5) attacks tumors from multiple angles, making it way more effective than CBD alone. It even works when regular chemo fails! Could this be the future of cancer treatment? This is the kind of medical plot twist we love to see. #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch493Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowCancer’s Sneaky Muscle Sabotage UncoveredTurns out, muscle weakness in cancer survivors isn’t just about the cancer itself—tumors actually mess with blood vessels in your muscles, making them leakier and weaker. Researchers found that a protein called Activin-A is the culprit, but the wild part? Fixing those blood vessels could help prevent or even reverse muscle loss! New therapies (and maybe even some heart meds) could be game-changers for cancer survivors struggling with muscle strength. Science is wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch923Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowHerpes: The Unexpected Cancer Fighter?!Who would've guessed herpes could be a hero? Scientists at USC just used a genetically modified herpes virus to shrink tough-to-treat skin cancer tumors—some even disappeared completely! This wild combo with an anti-cancer drug worked so well, even tumors they didn’t inject started shrinking. It’s giving real hope to people with advanced melanoma who’ve run out of options. Imagine telling someone your cold sore could help cure cancer! #Health #BodyHealth #CancerResearch12337Share
Edward Parrish+FollowCursed Tomb Fungus vs. Cancer?!Remember the 'pharaoh’s curse' that supposedly killed King Tut’s tomb explorers? Turns out, the same creepy fungus blamed for the curse might actually help fight leukemia! Scientists tweaked molecules from Aspergillus flavus (aka the 'curse fungus') and found they could kill cancer cells in the lab—some even worked as well as existing leukemia drugs. It’s still super early days, but who knew ancient tomb spores could be the next big thing in cancer research? Nature is wild! #ScienceNews #CancerResearch #MedicalBreakthrough #Health #BodyHealth30Share
shermandarlene+FollowNew Hope for Tough-to-Treat Stomach CancerAmgen’s latest cancer drug just hit a major milestone! Their experimental therapy, bemarituzumab, helped advanced gastric cancer patients live longer when paired with chemo in a big late-stage trial. The catch? Some folks had eye issues and nausea, so doctors are keeping a close watch on side effects. Still, this could be a game-changer for people with few options. More details are coming soon—fingers crossed for more good news! #CancerResearch #MedicalBreakthrough #Amgen #Health #BodyHealth120Share
Michelle Welch+FollowAmgen’s Cancer Drug Shows Real PromiseBig news in cancer research: Amgen’s new drug, Bemarituzumab, just proved it can help late-stage gastric cancer patients live longer when combined with chemo. The trial hit its main goal, and the results are especially hopeful for people whose tumors overexpress the FGFR2b protein. There are some side effects (think eye issues and nausea), but this could be a real game-changer for nearly 1 million new patients each year. Stocktwits is buzzing, but AMGN stock is still a bit of a rollercoaster! #CancerResearch #Amgen #MedicalBreakthrough #Health #BodyHealth332Share
Michelle Welch+FollowBlood Test Spots Cancer Years Early?!A new study just found that a simple blood test could detect cancer up to three years before you'd normally get diagnosed. Scientists spotted DNA from precancerous or cancerous cells floating in blood plasma years before any symptoms showed up. It's not perfect yet (missed some cases), but if this gets better, we could be looking at a total game-changer for early cancer detection. Imagine catching cancer before it even starts causing trouble! Still a few years away, but wow. #CancerResearch #EarlyDetection #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth212Share
