Cancer FrontiersIs There a Cure for Cancer? The Better Question Is: Which Cancer, at What Stage, and With Which Treatment?
Cancer is more than 100 diseases, and whether one can be cured depends on its type, its stage and the treatments that can reach it. Here is what doctors mean by cure, remission and “no evidence of disease.”
Cancer FrontiersThe New Cancer Toolkit: Immunotherapy, Targeted Drugs, Cell Therapy, and Precision Oncology
Targeted drugs, checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cells and biomarker testing have joined surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Each works differently, helps some patients dramatically and others not at all.
AI + MedicineCan AI Spot Cancer Earlier? Where Imaging Helps and Where False Alarms Matter
In breast screening, AI support has been tested in a randomized trial of more than 100,000 women and a real-world study of 460,000. The results are promising, but false alarms, overdiagnosis and deskilling still matter.
AI + MedicineThe MRI Reinvention: Faster Scans, Better Images, and the Real Role of AI
AI reconstruction has nearly halved knee MRI scan times in clinical studies without losing diagnostic accuracy. But networks that fill in missing data can also invent or erase detail, so validation must be specific.
AI + MedicineAI Drug Discovery: What Happens Between a Promising Molecule and a Medicine?
AI now helps find drug targets, predict protein shapes and design molecules. But most drugs fail in clinical trials because they don't work well enough or are too toxic, and AI hasn't yet shown it can change that.
