Yes, according to new research, where cancer cells were found to act as a ‘weapon’ against other cancer cells. Known as dual-action therapy, this approach is created to eliminate existing tumours and train the immune system to kill new ones, thus preventing cancer recurrence. This revolutionary new way to turn cancer cells into potent, anti-cancer…

Cancer cells can appear anywhere in our bodies at any time. Fortunately, they are almost always recognized and eliminated by our immune system. Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that can help the immune system fight cancer. Scientists have discovered that the effectiveness of immunotherapy is influenced by circadian rhythms; performing it at the…

Cockroach is the second most common allergen among Hongkongers suffering from allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and eczema, second only to dust mites. An international study led by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) ‘s Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) has unraveled the world’s most comprehensive genome profile for the American cockroach…

Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer and the most common type of cancer in Hong Kong. In a study, Professor Tony S.K. Mok of The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s (CUHK) Faculty of Medicine (CU Medicine) and  an international team of experts in lung cancer, found that combining the immunotherapy drugs tremelimumab and durvalumab…

Immune anticancer agents are drugs that prevent cancer cells from evading the body’s immune system or enable immune cells to better recognize and attack the cancer cells. They are the most attention-grabbing anticancer therapeutic agents in recent years. Immunotherapy, also known as biologic therapy, refers to using the body’s immune system to fight cancer. Cancer…

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, with the highest mortality worldwide. Specifically, adenocarcinoma is the most common, which shows no obvious symptoms and may have reached an advanced stage when detected. However, updated treatments may help improve a patient’s condition or even cure it. Symptoms of Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma Are Not Obvious…

Australian researchers have found that some immunotherapy treatments for cancer can damage fertility, prompting a call for further research and preventative measures such as freezing eggs. A pre-clinical trial, led by experts from Monash University’s Biomedicine Discovery Institute and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, demonstrated that a common type of immunotherapy drug known as immune…

Researchers from the University of Western Australia (UWA) and Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute have discovered a new way to improve response to immunotherapies in mice for the treatment of tumours. Co-authors of the study, Associate Professor Fiona Pixley and Jay Steer from UWA’s School of Biomedical Sciences, discovered that isolating a specific molecule present…
