Immuno-oncology is set to become one of the most vital cancer treatments, rising up into the realms surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and other targeted therapies. From their study, “Pharma Focus Visual Analysis of Immuno-Oncology Development and Opportunities”, Global Data was able to reach a conclusion and has analyzed more than 4,000 clinical trials of over 800 […]
Continue readingA mouse study published in Cell Chemical Biology reveals that a new version of the foreign fat molecule alpha-galactosylceramide (a-GalCer) is very successful at inducing inflammatory and anti-tumor responses in humans. The results of this study may be helpful in creating treatments that will prevent the spread of cancer. Past studies have shown that synthetic-GalCer, […]

Summary Researchers at Johns Hopkins are developing a new method called ImmunoMap, a digital map that compares different types of T-cell receptors, the “antennas” found on the surface of T-cells that identify foreign substances in the body to trigger an immune response. ImmunoMap will eventually help physicians to predict which cancer patients will respond […]

Summary According to a recent study that appeared in the March 2018 volume of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, scientists at Bristol-Meyers Squibb (BMS) are developing a new way for physicians to determine how cancer patients might respond to PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1) and PD-L1 (programmed death-ligand 1) targeted treatments. Previously, the […]

CAR T-Cell, or chimeric antigen receptor immunotherapy was recently used in a study to see if it could help prevent the spread of metastatic cancer. In the study humanized CAR T-Cell was successful at killing tumor cells as well as preventing it from spreading. The treatment may be useful for treating other types of […]

The clinical trial for an antibody designed to treat advanced cancers has begun with the first dose of FS118. The treatment is supposed to target two immune checkpoint proteins. The study, based in the US, will be enrolling 51 patients who have been diagnosed with metastatic cancers. The patients have not previously responded to […]

The immune system is a collection of molecules in every living thing that protects its cells. It relies on the ability to tell the difference between its own body cells and foreign cells, called antigens, in order to protect the body from the harmful antigens. The immune system has a set of proteins commonly […]

Researchers at the University of Chicago completed a recent cancer study with mice as subjects. The mice were given a combination of radiation therapy with anti-tumor vaccines, and this improved the response of the cells in the immune system that fight cancer. It led to tumor regression in the mice. The blocking of immune checkpoints, […]

Below is the message one of our patients sent us to share. David is an incredible man who has undergone a huge amount of tragedy and turned it into a testimony of what faith, nutritional health, and integrative oncology can do for someone. He is a HERO and inspiration to not only the patients in […]

What is NISC-6? Based on a recent study, a new compound found in cruciferous vegetables has been identified to act as the base for a new drug that has the potential to kill melanoma in the skin without affecting healthy cells. Two researchers from Penn State College of Medicine designed a compound called NISC-6 […]
