An international team of researchers is probing the links between skin diseases, including cancer, to speed the search for cures.

Immune cells in the blood primarily defend us against infection. But we’re now learning that these cells can also keep us free from cancer. Patients with less efficient immune systems such as organ transplant…

One promising cancer treatment has been in the works for decades, but severe side effects have kept it out of the clinic. A reengineered version may offer a way to safely harness its potent effects.

Cancer mortality has dropped in the US, due largely to lower smoking rates, as well as early detection and better treatments. These advances often do not extend to people in developing nations.

The parasite which causes toxoplasmosis has shown promise in treating difficult tumours in mice.

Changes to the genes of people that undergo oral immunotherapy because of a peanut allergy could provide a way of testing if the treatment is working, according to findings in a new study. Peanut allergies…

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer.

The researchers found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines could potentially help patients whose tumors don’t respond well to traditional immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy has the potential to eliminate tumors, but works best for select patients. Engineering T cells to bypass cancer’s defenses could help expand treatment eligibility to more patients.

Researchers are trying to boost the power of our immune system by genetically altering our white blood cells and transforming them into super-soldiers to fight cancer.
