    Medical Xpress / RIKEN / Frontiers in Immunology ^ | Sept. 18, 2024 | Takaharu Sasaki, Ohno, et al
    Researchers have discovered that food antigens like milk proteins help keep tumors from growing in the small intestines. Food antigens are the source of allergic reactions to foods. Ohno previously reported that food antigens activate immune cells in the small intestines, but not the large intestines. In the new study, researchers tested whether food antigens suppress tumors in the small intestines. The team began with a special kind of mouse. The mice develop tumors throughout the small and large intestines. The first experiment was fairly simple. They fed these mice normal food or antigen-free food and found that the ones...

    Medical Xpress / ETH Zurich / Nature Medicine ^ | Sept. 20, 2024 | Professor Berend Snijder
    Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive brain tumor that at present is incurable. Half of patients die within twelve months of diagnosis. Drugs that are effective against brain tumors are difficult to find, as many cancer drugs often can't cross the blood-brain barrier to reach the brain. Researchers have now found a substance that effectively combats glioblastomas, at least in the laboratory: an antidepressant called vortioxetine. Scientists know that this inexpensive drug, which has already been approved by agencies such as the FDA in the U.S. and Swissmedic, is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. With pharmacoscopy, researchers can simultaneously test...

    Keto, carnivore, low-carb. These are all just “fad diets,” right? Not so fast. Scientists at UC San Francisco recently published a study in Nature that showed a high-fat ketogenic diet combined with fasting restricted the growth of pancreatic tumors in mice.The study took a look at how certain tumors use ketone bodies as an energy source and that fasting and a ketogenic diet change the way messenger RNA “feeds” those tumors. Let’s take a step back for a moment and talk at a basic level about how this all works. Disclaimer: I am a mere journalist and not a doctor...
  • Findings suggest common salt activates anti-tumor cells

    09/03/2024 4:04:00 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 18 replies
    Salt could help to boost the immune defense against cancer. This is suggested by research findings. Recently, adoptive T-cell therapy in particular has developed into an effective treatment tool. In adoptive T-cell therapy, the patient's own immune cells (T cells) are isolated from the blood and modified and multiplied in the laboratory in a therapy-specific manner. They are then reinfused into the patient and destroy tumor cells. The team has now discovered one of these factors: Sodium ions—a component of sodium chloride—increase the efficiency of antitumoral T cells. The researchers were able to show that breast cancer tumors have a...
  • Decreasing Post-Surgical Metastases with Propranolol

    Justusrhope.substack ^ | September 1, 2024 | Justus R. Hope
    Most patients are not told that biopsy or surgical manipulation of a malignant tumor may promote its spread or metastasis. Most cancer deaths ultimately result from metastatic spread, and sometimes this spread can be initiated by the cancer biopsy or surgery. Therefore, it is crucial to minimize these effects if possible. Dr. Paul Marik inspired this Substack article, as he first told me about the potential beneficial use of propranolol just before, during, or after cancer surgery. This information is also contained in his upcoming book 2nd Edition of Cancer Care, and I encourage all readers to obtain a copy...
  • First-of-its-kind clinical trial eliminates or shrinks melanoma tumors in 70% of patients

    07/14/2024 9:38:07 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 4 replies
    A clinical trial has shown that a new drug combination utilized before surgery completely eliminated or shrunk melanoma tumors in 70% of trial participants. The phase II clinical trial, NeoACTIVATE, enrolled patients with stage 3 melanoma. "We saw that about two-thirds of the patients in one arm of the trial had no remaining tumor at all at the time of their surgery," said Matthew S. Block, M.D., Ph.D. This was the first clinical trial to explore using the combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy before surgery in patients with and without the type of melanoma that has a mutation in...

    Far-left Squad member Rep. Cori Bush performed multiple miracles as a religious faith healer, according to her autobiography. “As I learned how to apply God’s Word to my life in new ways, I better understood the power that was already residing in me,” Bush wrote of her abilities in “The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America.” “It was there, waiting for me to acknowledge it, to use it. I had the confidence to heal others with God’s power.” Bush relayed a story of a toddler she met during a prayer service in St. Louis. “The child had...
  • Taking vitamins may help tumours to grow, new research suggests

    The Telegraph ^ | 4 September 2023
    Taking vitamin or mineral supplements could be feeding tumours and allowing them to grow, suggests new research. Common antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and selenium and zinc when taken additionally can all cause blood vessels in cancer to grow. The discovery has come as a surprise as antioxidants were believed to be protective. The researchers said that natural levels in food were fine but if people take supplements containing antioxidants as well then the extra amount can fuel tumour growth. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, was carried out by the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. It...

    * The pill works by killing a mutated protein which helps cancers to repair * Scientists hope it can be used as a standalone therapy or alongside treatments Scientists have developed a holy grail cancer drug that kills all solid cancer tumors while leaving other cells unharmed. The new molecule targets a protein present in most cancers that helps tumors grow and multiply in the body. It is significant because this protein - the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) - was previously thought to be 'undruggable'. The drug was tested on 70 different cancer cells in the lab - including...

    Overexpression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (GRM1) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple cancers. Riluzole, an inhibitor of glutamate release, showed synergistic antitumor activity in combination with the multi-kinase inhibitor sorafenib in preclinical models. In a phase I trial, researchers identified the toxicity profile, dose-limiting toxicities, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of riluzole combined with sorafenib in patients with advanced cancers. "Riluzole functions as an inhibitor of GRM1 signaling through antagonism of glutamate release, and sorafenib is a multi-kinase inhibitor targeting both the MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways through the inhibition of RAF1, ARAF and,...

    What is in the Pfizer vaccines? Recently, Dr David Nixon, a Brisbane GP, decided to find out, putting droplets of vaccine and the blood of vaccinated patients under a dark-field microscope. That’s a more radical decision than it might sound. According to Sasha Latypova, a scientist with 25 years of experience in clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies, the contract between Pfizer and the US government prohibits independent researchers from studying the vaccines. They claim it would ‘divert’ these precious resources away from their intended use fulfilling an ‘urgent’ need. Is that true in Australia? Who knows? All the Commonwealth Department...
  • Study reveals alarming failures in the detection of pancreatic cancer (Get a 2nd or 3rd opinion)

    10/10/2022 9:52:03 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 26 replies
    Pancreatic cancer tumors are being missed on CT and MRI scans, narrowing the window for life-saving curative surgery. The study analyzed post-imaging pancreatic cancer (PIPC) cases, where a patient undergoes imaging that fails to diagnose pancreatic cancer but is then later diagnosed with the disease. Results revealed over a third (36%) of PIPC cases were potentially avoidable, demonstrating a poor detection rate for a cancer that has alarming patient outcomes. UK researchers studied the records of 600 patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer between 2016 and 2021. Of those, 46 (7.7%) patients failed to have their cancer diagnosed through their first...
  • Nintedanib found effective for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (Overcame drug resistance to imatinib - “significantly inhibited” cancer)

    04/07/2022 3:35:34 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 8 replies
    A research team led by Prof. Liu Qingsong and Liu Jing from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has recently found that nintedanib, a multikinase inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase FGFR/VEGFR/PDGFR, could be used in the treatment of drug-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Results were published in Molecular Oncology. GISTs are mesenchymal tumors that usually occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Nearly 85% of GISTs bear oncogenic mutations in mast/stem cell growth factor receptor (KIT). As the first-line therapy, imatinib has significantly improves GIST patient survival. However, most patients eventually experience disease...

    Oxford scientists have tested a new cancer blood test that can accurately identify the presence of tumors and whether or not they've Cancer treatments have better outcomes if the disease is caught early, but unfortunately symptoms often don’t present until later. A new Oxford study demonstrates an experimental blood test that shows promise in detecting a variety of cancers in patients, and even whether or not they’ve spread. Being able to go into a doctor’s office for a routine blood test to check for cancer would save countless lives, so of course the idea has attracted much scientific study. Different...

    A 63-year-old previously healthy Michigan man developed a seven-centimeter tumorous growth after receiving Johnson & Johnson/Janssen’s shot against COVID-19, which caused him to go into respiratory failure and life-threatening cardiogenic shock where his heart was unable to pump enough blood to his vital organs. One day after receiving the J&J shot, the man developed “intractable nausea,” vomiting, shortness of breath, watery diarrhea, chills, sweats, and heavy chest pain, though he had no symptoms prior to getting the COVID vaccine and no significant past medical history, according to a recently published case report titled “Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 Vaccination Triggering Pheochromocytoma...

    AMBRIDGE, Mass. — A revolutionary cancer treatment is combining several therapies to successfully destroy tumors, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say. Their breakthrough treatment “jump starts” a patient’s natural defenses by merging chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and tumor-fighting techniques. Using this novel approach, researchers say diseased cells are removed from the body, treated with drugs, and then placed back in the tumor. They are delivered with a payload of medications that activate the immune system’s T cells. The injured cancer cells appear to act as a distress signal that spurs them into action. “When you create cells that have DNA...

    new cancer treatment can wipe out tumours in terminally ill head and neck cancer patients, scientists have discovered. In a landmark trial, a cocktail of immunotherapy medications harnessed patients’ immune systems to kill their own cancer cells and prompted “a positive trend in survival”, according to researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), London, and the Royal Marsden NHS foundation trust. One patient, who was expected to die four years ago, told the Guardian of the “amazing” moment nurses called him weeks after he joined the study to say his tumour had “completely disappeared”. The 77-year-old grandfather is now...
