🦠 Melanoma - Feb 2026
• Personalized mRNA vaccine shows durable reduction in melanoma recurrence
• HOXD13 regulates angiogenesis and immune evasion in melanoma
• Pepyrus boosts sensitivity in HLA-bound neoantigen discovery
• SITC defines consensus criteria for ICI resistance
• Vibostolimab adds no benefit over pembrolizumab alone in melanoma
• Pathologic response assessment shows high reproducibility across tumor types
New research found that common statins may support immunotherapy against cancer in that they prevent cancer cells to weaken immunotherapy. See http://www.neat-news.com/3542.php. #immunotherapy #cancer #statins
CAR T-cell therapy is a revolutionary #Immunotherapy that genetically re-engineers a patient's own T cells to recognize and attack specific proteins found on cancer cells.
Currently, multiple FDA-approved treatments primarily target refractory blood cancers, with ongoing research expanding into solid tumors.

16-Hour Fasting: A Game-Changer for Cancer Immunotherapy 🧬⏱️
New clinical data in Cell Metabolism (Feb 2026) reveals that strategic fasting is more than just a metabolic trend—it's a powerful tool in oncology.
The Key Findings: A 16-hour fasting window "reprograms" T cells, making them more resilient and aggressive against tumors.
Short-term fasting significantly enhances neoadjuvant immunothera... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1550413126000148?via%3Dihub

Neogap Secures SEK 87 Million
Neogap Therapeutics has raised SEK 87 million in a financing round led by Sciety. The proceeds will fund the ongoing first-in-human clinical study evaluating personalized cell therapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer. The trial focuses on safety and tolerability, aiming to establish data for upcoming development stages.
Advanced CAR-T therapy shouldn't be out of reach.

#today I'm counting down the days til I start my last round of #immunotherapy for #bladder #cancer. Shots 25, 26 and 27 await. It's usually 3 over 3 weeks, every 6 months. I've been having this for several years now and it doesn't get any easier: outrageous #cystitis and prostate inflammation. Just hoping they'll find ever fewer recurrences that they'll want to laser away. Things could be worse.
In other news, I've nearly finished brooding over how to style my links page / blogroll.
Keep well
