Cancer is not invisible to the immune system — but tumors can learn how to hide.

Today, advanced oncology is exploring new ways to expose cancer cells and help the immune system recognize them again. Through innovative approaches that combine local tumor treatment and immunotherapy, science is opening new possibilities in personalized cancer care.

Immunotherapy is transforming cancer care by reactivating the immune system to fight tumors. It can lead to long-lasting responses—but also requires careful monitoring for immune-related side effects to keep treatment safe and effective.

  Immunotherapy has profoundly changed the way cancer is understood and treated. Instead of directly attacking tumor cells with chemical […]

Cancer grows by hijacking angiogenesis—the process of forming new blood vessels. By fueling tumors with oxygen and nutrients, angiogenesis enables growth and spread. Targeting these vessels has become a key strategy to slow cancer and improve treatment outcomes.

  One of the most fascinating, and at the same time unsettling, features of cancer is its ability to hijack […]

🔬 Why does cancer love sugar?

Cancer cells reprogram their metabolism to consume large amounts of glucose — a phenomenon known as the Warburg Effect. This metabolic shift helps tumors grow, survive, and shape their interaction with the immune system.
If you want to understand one of the fundamental metabolic hallmarks of cancer, this article explains it in a clear and accessible way.

Cancer cells reprogram their metabolism to favor rapid sugar consumption and glycolysis (the Warburg effect), supporting fast growth, survival, and immune evasion. This metabolic weakness offers important opportunities for diagnosis and targeted therapies.

  Let us imagine for a moment that we could observe a cancer cell in full activity. We would not […]

Image-guided cancer ablation targets the tumor from within it. PEF destroys tumors with a nanosecond electrical pulse that causes an immune response. This combined with intratumoral immunotherapy creates an unprecedented synergy stimulating the immune system to attack the cancer, not just locally, but globally as well.
