New radiation therapy delays brain cancer regrowth

… protects healthy tissue. Novel therapy option shown to extend the lifespan and improve quality of life for certain patients. UC San Diego Health is the first hospital system in…

A smartphone’s camera and flash could help people measure blood oxygen levels at home

First, pause and take a deep breath. When we breathe in, our lungs fill with oxygen, which is distributed to our red blood cells for transportation throughout our bodies. Our…

‘Glass bubble’ nanocarrier boosts effects of combination therapy for pancreatic cancer

When two drugs were delivered in one nanoparticle rather than separately, the treatment worked better in mice. Over the past 30 years, progress in early detection and treatment of cancer…
