Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists have developed an experimental strategy to give genetically engineered CAR T cells help they'd normally find within lymph nodes — but on the go, within the tumor.

A new, highly sensitive cell therapy was able to wipe out three different kinds of solid tumors in mice, an important advance in an area where CAR-T cells have long struggled. But significant ...

CAR T-cell therapy has the potential to revolutionise how we treat certain types of cancer by genetically engineering someone’s own immune cells to attack the disease – but it is also cumbersome and ...

Researchers discovered a way to keep T cells from wearing out during the fight against cancer, and the approach could make immune-based treatments far more powerful. They found that tumors use a ...

A naturally occurring byproduct of liver metabolism—the ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)—can strengthen the fitness and antitumor activity of CAR T cells. The findings, reported on March 6, 2026 ...

The cancer drugs called PARP inhibitors have a puzzling reputation: even though they are treatment mainstays for multiple forms of cancer, they can damage cancer-killing T cells and disrupt the ...

Their makers claim they can detect dozens of cancer types — but some scientists say they could be missing many cancers or ...

For asymptomatic people without known risks, the downsides and uncertainties of multi-cancer early detection testing could ...

Blood tests are the most common way for health professionals to detect and diagnose a range of medical conditions. But can it ...
