This first-in-human study tested the safety and early effectiveness of SUPLEXA, an experimental cell therapy, in adults with advanced cancers that had stopped responding to standard treatments. Forty-six participants with either metastatic solid tumors or blood cancers received w…

This study followed 80 Egyptian women with HER2-positive breast cancer to see how well anti-HER2 drugs work in real-world treatment. Researchers observed patients receiving either single drugs or drug combinations as part of their standard care, tracking survival, side effects, a…

This study tested whether a small sensor called ivWatch could detect when IV fluids or medications leak from a vein into surrounding tissue during cancer treatment. The research involved 2,400 adult cancer patients receiving chemotherapy through a standard IV line. The goal was t…

This study tested whether a personalized brain training program could help breast cancer patients manage thinking and memory problems (often called 'chemobrain') that can occur during cancer treatment. Fifty patients were randomly assigned to either receive the training program p…

This study tested whether a phone app that guides users through music breathing exercises could help parents caring for a child newly diagnosed with cancer. The goal was to see if the app could reduce stress, build resilience, and improve the parents' quality of life. The study i…

This small pilot study tested whether a mobile phone app is a practical and acceptable tool for helping children who have finished cancer treatment and their caregivers. The app was designed to help them track and manage ongoing symptoms and side effects from treatment. Researche…

This small pilot study tested a new system to help people with advanced cancer get support for difficult symptoms like pain, fatigue, and anxiety. Before their regular cancer clinic appointments, 40 patients filled out an online symptom questionnaire. If their scores were high, t…

This study tested whether a special walking platform with safety features was practical for elderly cancer patients to use in the hospital. Researchers wanted to see if patients over 70 could complete at least two walking sessions during their stay. The goal was to help keep pati…

This study looked back at medical records to understand if surgery to remove lymph nodes in the neck before radiation treatment helps patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. Researchers analyzed data from 7 patients to see if this approach improved survival or prevented the…

This study aimed to understand how a common cancer drug (bevacizumab/Avastin) affects the heart and blood vessels in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Researchers measured artery stiffness and blood pressure in 13 patients before and during treatment to see if these heart…

This study looked back at the medical records of 1,250 patients with advanced cancer who visited a hospital emergency department. The goal was to find common factors—like lab test results, overall health, and nutrition—that are linked to a higher risk of dying within 90 days of t…
