"These are populations who may have limited time left on Earth. My goal for them is not to eliminate their distress, because that's not practical in the face of something like a late-stage cancer diagnosis. But we can help them live their best life possible with the precious time they h...
SYDNEY, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Australian scientists said they have found a way to help dermatologists better determine a patient’s risk of developing melanoma, pointing to improved understanding and treatment of the major skin cancer. The team from the University of Queensland uncovered the specif...
People who examine their own skin for melanoma may increase their chances to find cancers when they are less deep and more treatable than those people whose melanoma is found incidentally. Building on this finding, QUT sun safety researchers have developed a simple tool to assess Queensland men o...
Melanoma cells are dependent on glucose to grow and spread, Melbourne researchers have found, paving the way for therapies that can halt cancer growth by blocking its fuel source. Melanoma is the most deadly cancer in Australia,claiming1,500 lives each year. Withouttreatmentthelife expectancyis ar...
traditional approaches, such as metastatic melanoma or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Immunotherapies also have the added benefit of potentially achieving long-term remission since the immune system can recognize cancer cells if they reoccur, resulting in durable—and potentially permanent—cancer ...
Immunotherapy is a promising field that has shown some early successes against the deadly skin cancer melanoma and a handful of other cancers. Wallace is the first person with cervical cancer on whom this novel approach has worked. A second US woman has also seen her metastaticcervical cancerdisa...
Many of the treatments for cancer haveneverundergone placebo-controlled studies. When they do, it is often found that the placebo works better, such as in the melanoma study cited above. One study on the use of placebos found that they worked better than the treatments in a meta-analysis ...

The tests were effective against overexpressed miR-21 found in human cervical cancer-derived cells, human triple-negative breast cancer-derived cells, and mouse malignant melanoma-derived cells. “The formation of long DNA strands due to the interaction between short DNA oHPs and overexpressed miR-...
