Researchers at Princeton University have found that high-fat diets may make certain breast cancers more invasive by altering tumor structure. The study, published March 3 in APL Bioengineering, examined triple-negative breast cancer using advanced 3D models. Scientists say the findings could help explain why diet influences cancer outcomes, though results remain limited to lab conditions. […]
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a biosensor that can quickly detect how breast cancer responds to paclitaxel. The system, called MetaRing, analyzes tiny biological samples and delivers results in about 10 minutes. The study, published recently, points to faster, more personalized chemotherapy decisions. A research team led by Prof. Wang Hongzhi […]
![Not just chemotherapy, now phototherapy is here for cancer treatment [Details]](https://indiainternationaltimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Phototherapy.png "Phototherapy")
One approach to treating cancer is photodynamic therapy using photo-uncaging systems, in which light is used to activate a cancer-fighting agent in situ at the tumor. However, suitable agents must be stable under visible light, have an anti-tumor effect in low-oxygen environments, and have the ability to be activated by low-energy tissue-penetrative red light – a combination of […]
Ovarian cancer is most often found in people of middle-age or older as the Wilmot study showed that the mean age of participants was 56. Of the 183 participants, 42 were found to have ovarian cancer, which is 23 percent. The technology also discovered that 20 other participants had non-ovarian cancers. Ovarian cancer symptoms can […]
Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY), a centrally sponsored scheme, provides health insurance coverage to Below Poverty Line (BPL) families and including other 11 categories of Unorganized Workers (UOWs) who are enrolled under the scheme. Senior Citizen Health Insurance Scheme (SCHIS) is also implemented w.e.f. 01.04.2016. Under this, health coverage is available for Rs.30,000/- per annum […]
