🧬 Big news in the fight against prostate cancer!

UQ is teaming up with AdvanCell and top clinicians across Australia to develop a powerful new cancer treatment—Targeted Alpha Therapy. This new approach delivers radiation directly to prostate cancer cells, helping spare healthy tissue.

Thanks to an $18M grant from the Medical Research Future Fund, researchers will design tools that personalize treatment for each patient—leading to better outcomes and hope for thousands of men.

UQ plays key role in a national effort to revolutionize prostate cancer treatment The University of Queensland will play a key role in a national effort to revolutionize treatment for men with prostate cancer.

🚶‍♀️ Just 30 more minutes of movement a day could help lower your cancer risk—no gym membership required.

A new study from the NIH and University of Oxford, involving over 85,000 people, found that even light daily activity—like walking, doing laundry, or running errands—can cut your risk of 13 types of cancer, including breast and colorectal.

💥 Most exciting part? It’s not about speed or intensity—it’s about consistency.

Here’s what the researchers found: 👟 7,000 steps/day = 11% lower cancer risk
👟 9,000 steps/day = 16% lower cancer risk
📉 After 9,000 steps, benefits level off

The study also showed that replacing sedentary time (think sitting at a desk or watching TV) with any physical activity—even light chores—makes a real difference.

So next time you think "it's just a walk around the block"... think again. Your future self may thank you.

👏 This is empowering science. Small steps, big impact.

The advancement of biobanking in precision oncology has transformed research by providing crucial biological samples for biomarker discovery and personalized treatments. Biobanks play a vital role in ensuring the availability of well-annotated specimens for studying diseases like cancer. This evolution is driven by the necessity for diverse samples to comprehend the complexities of diseases and develop tailored treatments. Precision oncology, which integrates genetic, molecular, and clinical data, heavily relies on biobanks. The future of biobanking in precision oncology looks promising with advancements in technology and global collaboration accelerating discoveries and enhancing patient outcomes.

The Evolution of Biobanking and its Role in Precision Oncology Biobanks fuel the multiomics-based practice of personalized oncomedicine and cancer biomarker discovery.

Analyzing cancerous growths' genetic material provides insights into cancer origins. Researchers at Cambridge University Hospitals identify genetic mutations contributing to cancer formation, possibly due to cigarette smoke exposure or internal cellular abnormalities. There have been 58 new mutational patterns discovered, advancing cancer understanding.

Largest study of whole genome sequencing data reveals new clues to causes of cancer DNA analysis of thousands of tumours from NHS patients has found a ‘treasure trove’ of clues about the causes of cancer, with genetic mutations providing a

MIT researchers have made significant progress in predicting lung cancer risk using the AI system 'Sybil.' This system can forecast an individual's chances of developing lung cancer up to 6 years in advance. With lung cancer causing more deaths in the US annually than the next three deadliest cancers combined, this advancement is crucial.

MIT Develops AI that Predicts Lung Cancer Risk up to 6 Years in Advance, Like Finding a ‘Needle in a Haystack’ Researchers at MIT developed a new AI model that can predict lung cancer risk up to six years in advance through a single low-dose CT scan.

Targeted precision oncology treatments result in fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy and precision oncology is revolutionizing cancer treatment through the study of genetic and molecular characteristics of tumors. Personalized treatments are developed and scientists continue to use genomic data to find more effective treatment options.
