Century-Old Method Revives Hope for Metastatic Ovarian Cancer Treatment

Researchers at the Wistar Institute have developed a novel treatment for metastatic ovarian cancer that activates myeloid cells in the peritoneal cavity using a combination of beta-glucan and interferon-gamma. This approach, inspired by early 20th-century methods, has shown promising results in preclinical models, significantly reducing tumor size and overcoming chemotherapy resistance. The findings, published in The Journal of Experimental Medicine, suggest a potential new method for treating this aggressive cancer.

"Promising Results: CAR-T Cell Therapy Shrinks Brain Tumors in Early Trials"

A clinical trial for CAR-T cell therapy in patients with glioblastoma, a deadly form of brain cancer, has shown promising results, with some patients experiencing significant tumor regression just days after treatment. The therapy, which uses a patient's own immune cells to target the tumor, resulted in near-complete tumor regression in one patient after five days. The researchers emphasize the need for further research to refine this treatment, but are optimistic about its potential to change the outlook for this challenging disease.
