Cancer Treatment Injection

Under CAR-T, a patient's own T-cells are collected and re-engineered to identify surface markers on the outside of cancer cells before being injected in the body again.

Britain's state-run national health service will be the first in the world to offer an injection that treats cancer to hundreds of patients in England which could cut treatment times by up to three quarters.

Raising hopes for a cancer vaccine for humans, Stanford researchers have eliminated all traces of cancer in mice by injecting minute amounts of two immune-stimulating agents directly into solid tumours. Read full report here.

Cancer Australia estimated that 17,586 women would be diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia in 2017.

In a shocking incident, a mother in the US has been accused of injecting faecal matter into her 15-year-old son's intravenous bag and endangering his life while he was undergoing cancer treatments at a hospital.

Drug firm Zydus Cadila has received tentative approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market Clofarabine injection, used for treatment of cancer of the white blood cells, in the American market.

In a new breakthrough in cancer treatment, University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre (CRCHUM) researchers have developed an injectable 'biogel' that can effectively deliver anti-cancer agents directly into tumours and kill them.

Babies born after fertility treatment run increased risk of genetic disorder. According to a recent study, children conceived through in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment run four times the normal risk of a rare genetic imprinting disorder, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), which causes gigantism and increases the risk of childhood renal cancer.
