Fight Cancer Global

Millions of Americans with cancer likely struggle to access some of the most advanced, state-of-the-art treatments being tested in clinical trials for their disease, according to our new analysis. The 2023 State of Cancer Care in America Snapshot and corresponding manuscript found 70% of U.S. counties lack a single active cancer treatment trial, and a quarter of adults over 55— the age group most diagnosed with the disease—would have to travel more than two hours round-trip to access a trial site with broad cancer offerings. Additionally, 90% of adult patients do not participate in clinical trials at all, and only half of all patients nationwide had access to a trial at their cancer care facility. The study is published in JCO Oncology Practice and accompanied by an infographic. More: https://brnw.ch/21wNoLI #JCOOP

#ExerciseOncology is going mainstream, and it's transforming cancer care! The evidence is clear: #exercise plays an immense role in improving outcomes for cancer patients. We're not just talking about it—we're taking action! We’re bringing clinical results into tailored community exercise programs, making a real difference in patients' lives. Let's move forward, together. We start with 6min warm-up! OAC Outdoor Against Cancer #ExerciseOncology #CancerCare #CommunityHealth.

Researchers at the University of Delaware, under the leadership of Assistant Professor Balaji Panchapakesan, have developed an innovative “nano-bomb” designed to specifically target and eliminate cancer cells. By combining carbon nanotubes and using light exposure, they can initiate small explosions that effectively destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. This advancement leverages the thermal characteristics of the nanotubes to deliver precise attacks on cancer.
