Researchers are investigating whether a cannabis extract could someday be used to treat skin cancer. Their recent study suggests there is potential in using a cannabinoid-derived extract to disrupt the growth of melanoma cancer cells. Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that is often treated with invasive medical procedures such as surgery or radiation therapy. Researchers at Australia’s Charles Darwin University (CDU) and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) discovered a specific cannabis extract called cannabinoid PHEC-66 worked by effectively manipulating cancerous cells into ki...

Researchers have developed a test that could detect colorectal cancer with 83 per cent accuracy using a simple blood sample, according to a new study. The blood test’s high accuracy is comparable to current at-home stool tests. The team published their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine. “The results of the study are a promising step toward developing more convenient tools to detect colorectal cancer early while it is more easily treated,” William M Grady, a gastroenterologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center based in Seattle in the US, said in a statement. “The test, which has an...

A new strategy to fight an extremely aggressive type of brain tumour showed promise in a pair of experiments with a handful of patients. Scientists took patients’ own immune cells and turned them into “living drugs” able to recognise and attack glioblastoma. In the first-step tests, those cells shrank tumours at least temporarily, researchers reported on Wednesday. So-called CAR-T therapy already is used to fight blood-related cancers like leukaemia but researchers have struggled to make it work for solid tumours. Now separate teams at Massachusetts General Hospital and the University of Penns...

Diets that restrict overall calories, glucose intake or specific nutrients, like ketogenic, time-restricted, and intermittent fasting diets, have been found to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumours. While there’s “no one-size-fits-all” diet that can influence cancer’s development, new research has highlighted how nutrition could play a part in cancer treatment plans. The results were published in a new study by Semmelweis University in Hungary which reviewed a compilation of over 300 studies focused on how different diets affect the metabolism of cancerous cells. “Cancers are very heterogene...

The UK lagged behind other similar countries in cancer treatment, with patients waiting longer before starting chemotherapy, according to two new studies. Researchers analysed data from more than 780,000 cancer patients in Australia, Canada, Norway, and the UK. They found that UK cancer patients received chemotherapy and radiation less often than in the other three countries, with older patients the least likely to receive the treatments. The findings were published in two papers in the journal The Lancet Oncology00031-7/fulltext). “Countries whose cancer survival is lower than similar countri...

As the nation reels from the shock of King Charles’ diagnosis — and millions of others across the UK go through their own battles with cancer — the pressure has never been higher for the government to step up its ambitious 10-Year Cancer Plan by moving away from ineffective and cruel experiments on animals. In recent years, huge strides have been made in cancer care, including preventive measures like regular screening checks and encouraging more people to quit smoking and adopt plant-based diets. However, cancer remains a leading cause of death globally, owing in large part to the staggering ...

The number of new cancer cases in Europe is estimated to grow by 22.5 per cent over the next two decades, according to new estimates from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). That’s as the number of cancer diagnoses grows 55 per cent globally between 2022 and 2045, from roughly 19.9 million cancer cases in 2022 to 30.9 million cases in 2045. The new estimates were released ahead of World Cancer Day on February 4 and highlight the “growing burden” of cancer and a need to address cancer inequities, according to IARC, the cancer agency of the World Health Organization (WHO). Am...
