Generic platinum chemotherapy shortages did not increase deaths

An analysis of national data found that short-term mortality was not impacted for patients with advanced cancers during the shortage of the generic platinum chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and carboplatin that began in early 2023.

A low omega-6, omega-3 rich diet and fish oil may slow prostate cancer growth

A new study offers new evidence that dietary changes may help reduce cancer cell growth in patients undergoing active surveillance, a treatment approach that involves regular monitoring of the cancer without immediate intervention. Men on active surveillance who followed a low omega-6, high omega-3 diet with fish oil supplements had significantly lower levels of cancer cell proliferation after one year.

Key regulator that induces cancer-killing capacity in T cells under hypoxia is identified

Immune checkpoint blockades, or ICBs, have revolutionized treatment for various advanced cancers. However, their effectiveness has plateaued due to therapeutic resistance that renders tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, or TILs, ineffective. Thus, finding ways to disarm that resistance and rejuvenate anti-cancer TILs so they can kill tumor cells is an important goal for cancer clinicians.
