- 113-Year-Old Cured of DIPG, the Deadliest Childhood Brain CancerβA 13-Year-Old Has Been Cured of DIPG, the Deadliest Childhood Brain Cancer
A 13-year-old has reportedly become the first patient cured of DIPG, an aggressive and almost universally fatal childhood brain cancer. The claim, described as a world first, is drawing wide attention because DIPG has resisted decades of treatment efforts, with most children surviving less than a year after diagnosis. Commenters are discussing the significance for pediatric cancer research and what the treatment could mean for future patients.

A new trial reports that stereotactic radiosurgery improves survival for patients with small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. The findings challenge the routine use of whole-brain radiation therapy for these patients and are drawing attention among oncologists, with searches about cancer trending in Australia and France.
- 3Infections Cause 1 in 8 Cancer Cases Worldwide, Study Findsβ1 in 8 cancer cases worldwide are caused by infections, study finds
A new study has found that infections cause roughly one in eight cancer cases worldwide. The finding points to the significant role viruses and bacteria play in triggering cancers, suggesting prevention through vaccination and treatment of infections could substantially reduce the global cancer burden.
- 4New synthetic lethal drug targets microsatellite instability cancersβΌA synthetic lethal drug for microsatellite instability cancers
Researchers have reported the development of a synthetic lethal drug aimed at cancers with microsatellite instability, a genetic feature found in colorectal and other tumor types. Synthetic lethality exploits mutations unique to cancer cells, sparing healthy tissue. The work was published in Nature, and scientists say such drugs could expand treatment options for patients whose tumors resist existing immunotherapies.
- 5Study reports vitamin C and DMSO shrink skin cancer lesionsβA new study reports promising results using vitamin C + DMSO for skin # cancer , including 56% elimination in 12 weeks a
A new study reports that a combination of vitamin C and DMSO produced promising results against skin cancer, with reported elimination of lesions in 56% of cases within 12 weeks and 94% of patients avoiding surgery. Other research suggests DMSO may enhance delivery of anticancer drugs directly into tumors, and early reports involving ivermectin are also circulating.
- 6Aeon essay argues for dropping the 'C-word' for cancerβDon't use the 'C-word' https://aeon.co/essays/we-need-a-better-way-to-describe-what-is-often-called-cancer # Science # H
An essay in Aeon argues that the word 'cancer' should be used far more cautiously, since the term lumps together conditions of wildly different danger and leads to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The author calls for a better vocabulary to describe what is often called cancer, arguing that language shapes how patients understand risk and choose treatment.

A new report from Cure Today outlines how artificial intelligence could support doctors across the full cancer care team, from diagnosis and treatment planning to follow-up care. It argues AI tools may help oncologists, radiologists and other specialists work more efficiently and coordinate care, while cautioning that clinical oversight remains essential as adoption grows.
- 8ABC News anchor Will Reeve reveals testicular cancer diagnosisβABC News' Will Reeve reveals testicular cancer diagnosis, chemotherapy treatment
Will Reeve, an ABC News correspondent and son of the late Superman actor Christopher Reeve, has announced that he has been diagnosed with testicular cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The news is being picked up widely by US media outlets, with viewers and colleagues offering support and praising his decision to share the diagnosis publicly.
- 9Cancer vaccine puts terminal patient into remissionβΌExclusive | She was ready to die. Now sheβs in remission β cancer vaccines could be the next big thing in medicine
A woman who had been prepared to die has entered remission after receiving an experimental cancer vaccine, in a report highlighting the technology as a possible next major advance in medicine. The case is being presented as evidence that therapeutic vaccines, which train the immune system to attack tumors, could transform cancer treatment.

Haga Bioscience and Imagenomix have announced a partnership to develop AI-based spatial biomarker analysis for cancer pathology. The collaboration aims to combine spatial biology techniques with artificial intelligence to improve how biomarkers are measured in tumor tissue, potentially supporting more precise cancer diagnosis and treatment decisions.
- 11Cancer vaccines emerge as promising new frontier in medicineβShe was ready to die. Now sheβs in remission β cancer vaccines could be the next big thing in medicine
A terminal cancer patient who had accepted she was dying is now in remission after receiving an experimental cancer vaccine. Doctors say the case highlights the growing potential of personalized cancer vaccines, which train the immune system to attack tumors. The story is fueling optimism that such vaccines could become a major new tool in cancer treatment.
