Forskere har fundet genetiske spor af toksinet colibactin i kræftvæv fra unge patienter med tarmkræft. Toksinet stammer fra tarmbakterier, og udsættelse tidligt i livet kan være en skjult årsag til den globale stigning i sygdommen.

Music might do more than move our souls—it could help fight cancer. Scientists found that Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 destroyed 20% of cancer cells in lab tests, while leaving healthy cells untouched.

Another piece, Ligeti’s “Atmosphères,” showed similar effects, hinting that certain compositions might carry healing powers science is just starting to explore.

Dr. Márcia Alves Marques Capella and her team in Rio de Janeiro are expanding their research, testing rhythms like Samba and Funk to find nature’s own soundtrack for healing.

Could music become part of future cancer treatments? It’s early days, but this work is tuning up a fascinating new chapter where sound and science meet. 🎶🔬

New organ found hiding in the throat.

While scanning for prostate cancer, researchers in the Netherlands made a completely unexpected discovery – a previously unknown set of salivary glands hidden deep in the upper part of the throat, behind the nose.

Using advanced PSMA PET-CT imaging, scientists at the Netherlands Cancer Institute found the glands during routine scans. This method, typically used to detect prostate cancer cells, also happens to highlight salivary gland tissue – and what they found surprised everyone.

The newly discovered glands are about 1.5 inches (3.9 cm) in length and are located in the nasopharynx, a region thought to contain only microscopic salivary structures. They’ve been named the tubarial salivary glands, after their location near a piece of cartilage called the torus tubarius.

To confirm their find, the team reviewed scans from 100 patients and dissected two cadavers – and in every case, the glands were there.

This discovery could have big implications for cancer treatment. Radiation therapy for head and neck cancers is carefully planned to avoid the three known sets of salivary glands, since damage can cause long-term issues with speaking, swallowing, and eating. But doctors were unknowingly hitting this hidden set, possibly worsening side effects.

“Our next step is to find out how we can best spare these new glands and in which patients,” said radiation oncologist Dr. Wouter Vogel. “If we can do this, patients may experience less side effects, which will benefit their overall quality of life after treatment.”

Even today, the human body keeps surprising us.

Dette team har udviklet en metode til at ændre cancerceller til normale celler ved et molekylært switch uden at dræbe dem . En helt ny vej i cancerbehandling. Her er det dog kun brugt i forbindelse med coloncancer og de skal formentlig også først finde ud af hvordan de kan ramme cancercellerne og ikke de andre celler. Men en spændende ny tilgang.

Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho's research team has recently been highlighted for their work on developing an original technology for cancer reversal treatment that does not kill cancer cells but only changes their characteristics to reverse them to a state similar to normal cells.

This study evaluates the clinical outcomes of 72 patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), focusing on integrative treatment (IT). The overall survival (OS) for all patients was 13.3 months, while those who received IT demonstrated significantly improved outcomes. Among the 65 patients who underw...

A nice update on vitamin D in breast cancer - a recent randomised controlled trial found that complete pathological response (pCR) rates in women with breast cancer undergoing pre-surgery chemotherapy were significantly higher in women supplemented 2,000IU (43% vs. 24%). Pathological complete response means that there is no cancer found locally when the tissue is examined after surgery.

Women with 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels >50 nmol/l were almost 4 times (OR 3.65, p = 0.04) more likely to achieve a complete pathological response than women deficient in vitamin D.

If you are on active treatment for breast cancer, please check all supplements with your oncology provider and/or integrative medicine physician.

Patienter med modermærkekræft, der forinden har fået den bedst mulige standardbehandling uden effekt, får en ekstra chance på Herlev og Gentofte Hospital. »En lille månelanding,« siger uvildig forsker.

Da Kates spiserørskræft vender tilbage, har lægerne ikke mere standardbehandling. I stedet bliver hun tilbudt at deltage i et forskningsprojekt støttet af Knæk Cancer. Det ændrer alt.

For Søs Egelind var effekten ikke til at diskutere, fordi hun oplevede, at hun kunne droppe morfin, spise og sove, når hun fik cannabis i kroppen.

Bedre livskvalitet, kort og godt 💚

Faktisk har hun i dag den holdning, at hun nok slet ikke var kommet levende over på den anden side af sit kræftforløb, hvis hun ikke havde opdaget, hvad cannabis kan gøre 🌿

Derfor ville Søs Egelind gerne dele sine erfaringer med sin onkolog, så onkologen kunne dele Søs´ erfaring med andre patienter, der måske kunne have glæde af cannabis. Søs Egelind oplevede imidlertid, at onkologen ikke var interesseret i at dele hendes erfaringer med cannabis. Man kan jo ikke tage patent på planter og dermed ikke tjene penge.

Det vidste lægen Gerson allerede for mange år siden. Og han helbredte rigtig mange kræftpatienter. Han undersøgelser foregik også efter en protokol han havde udarbejdet. Hvor man bla skulle drikke gulerodssaft eller grøn salat saft hver time.
Men godt at de nu laver studier og fremstiller et produkt som flere kan have nytte af.

Vi har bedt lektor Morten Kobæk Larsen forklare, hvad det er ved gulerødderne, der er så fantastisk i forbindelse med lige præcis tarmkræft.
