Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed nanoparticle sensors that could diagnose early-stage cancer through a simple urine test on a strip of paper. The scientists said these sensors, designed to detect many cancerous proteins, could also distinguish the type of tumor, how it responds to treatment, and whether it has metastasized….

Ruan Ailian, a registered traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Hong Kong, references the program “100 Ways to Treat 100 Diseases”…
Study: Tumor Suppressor Gene Deletion Causes Resistance to Breast Cancer Treatment
The research team at Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong, HKUMed made a groundbreaking discovery that somatic deletion of a tumor suppressor gene, AKTIP (AKT interacting protein), can increase the growth of luminal breast cancer and develop resistance to hormone therapy. The research conclusion was published in the journal…
Stage Zero Cancer: 5 Common Forms With High Incidence, Some May Be Dangerous
When it comes to cancer staging, people often hear about stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 of cancer. However, there is actually stage zero cancer that, as you might guess, comes before stage 1. Stage zero cancer is also known as carcinoma in situ. Carcinoma in situ cells are limited to the location where they…
Breakthrough Research Identifies Rare Tumor Cell ‘Spies’
Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a novel technology for simultaneous genomic DNA and RNA sequencing in single cells from frozen and fresh tissues and identified rare brain tumor cell “spies” disguised as normal cells using this method. This breakthrough advances cancer research for some of the most…
New Therapy Improves Intermediate Liver Cancer Cure Rate by 55 Percent
Liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world, with more than 900,000 new cases every year, and a fatality rate that ranks third among all cancers. Recently, the Li Ka Shing faculty of medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) released the world’s first comprehensive treatment plan for intermediate liver cancer,…
