Drinkable, carbon monoxide-infused foam supercharges cancer therapy

Did smokers do better than non-smokers in a clinical trial for an experimental cancer treatment? That was the intriguing question that led University of Iowa researchers and their colleagues to develop a drinkable, carbon monoxide-infused foam that boosted the effectiveness of the therapy, known as autophagy inhibition, in mice and human cells.

Stromal cells may be useful in assessing prostate tumors' potential to spread

Non-cancerous cells called stromal cells, which are found in and around prostate tumors, may be useful in assessing these tumors' potential to spread, and may even be targets for future prostate cancer treatments, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

New approach using ultrasound-guided drug delivery effectively targets lymph node metastasis

Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered a new approach for treating lymph node metastasis. Anticancer drugs are administered directly into the LNs under ultrasound guidance (Lymphatic Drug Delivery System or LDDS) to target sentinel lymph nodes (LNs) and generate antitumor effects locally, preventing distant metastasis.
