Early cancer detection significantly improves recovery rates; therefore, researchers are always looking for new detection methods. A new study has revealed that blood biomarkers could be used to detect tumors more than three years before a diagnosis is made. It turns out that the secret lies in minuscule fragments of genetic material that the tumors...

Joe Fornasiero seemed to be the picture of perfect health. As a fitness fanatic from Brighton, Michigan, he followed a strict routine of training and clean eating. But behind the muscle and energy, something dangerous was quietly growing. His story challenges the idea that health on the outside always reflects what’s inside. Joe’s early cancer...
Scientists from Rice University have revealed a new potential cancer treatment that uses minuscule dye molecules known as aminocyanine molecules. When these molecules are exposed to near-infrared light, they vibrate in a manner that breaks down the membranes of cancer cells. In animal and laboratory tests, this vibronic-driven action was shown to eliminate up to...
Cancer is a disease that is responsible for nearly one in six deaths globally. It is a disease that can sometimes grow over years completely unnoticed, or come on suddenly and grow at a deadly rate. The key to effective treatment and positive outcomes for cancer patients is early detection. A blood test developed in...
“You’re too young to have bowel cancer.” Unfortunately, many patients heard this when they contacted medical help for their symptoms. That’s what Stephanie Bansemer-Brown was told in 2012 before being diagnosed with stage three rectal cancer. She was 42 at the time, and fits alongside new research finding over 28,000 Australians under the age of...
Bowel cancer refers to any cancer that develops in the large bowel, including the rectum and colon. Also known as colorectal cancer, the risk factors include family history, age, and existing medical conditions.

And above everything is the fear of death and cancer recurrence. One study involving over 18,000 cases of...
When you’re soaking through sheets and feeling bone-tired despite rest, your body might be sending urgent messages that are more alarming than you’d expect. Night sweats and crushing fatigue? They’re common cancer symptoms that just happen to strike at night while you’re sleeping. These experiences don’t guarantee cancer. Most people with these signs have other causes. But recognizing when they shift from normal to concerning can help...
A new medical simulation video by Dr. Paulien Moyaert shows how cancer progresses and leads patients to death. The truth is very different from what most people think. Instead of “spreading everywhere,” cancer kills by attacking specific organs that keep us alive. The deadliest process starts when a single cancer cell breaks away from the original tumor and travels through the blood...
